    Would anyone in the forum know any details about this coin...? such as worth, mintage, or other details...? Please advice, I find very little information about this coin on the web and I am thinking about getting one. Thank you in advance... :)

    Looks a bit dodge mate.
    Might not be real silver let alone real gold gilded.

    Maybe just me, but I generally run away from anything saying gold plated.

    Mintage of 2,500 and could probably get one for around AUD$85-$95

    I'm pretty positive the mint had nothing to do with the gilding of that coin. 99.9% positive that it's an aftermarket creation from Germany.

    Htu08, I hear you and those are my concerns exactly.... I want to verify that this is an authentic Canadian Maple Leaf...! Thanks for your reply....

    House, I read that part as well but the links seem a bit shady... can you confirm then that the coin is legit? is that website a legit house to buy silver coins? Please advice if you could.... Thanks.

    More than likely as that was the only info I found. The RCM have released gilded Maples before, one was issued for the 20th anniversary of the coin.

    Edit: There's plenty of legit coins that have an aftermarket gild applied, have a good few myself. Can't vouch for the website but found one on eBay

    Yes! These coins then have gold applied to them by a third party while the coins are regular 2014 Maple Leafs....! Now I know, your ebay link shows this information... Thank you all for your posts...

    Also, not sure about you guys but I would rather have an original unchanged product from the mother company.... don't think I will buy one.

    Also, I think after market changes are technically illegal as it's defacing legal tender.

    I get the original and the gilded :D Bit pricey but it's more the hobby side of PM's for me. Check out the gilded Canadian Wildlife versions, that's what got me interested.

    The RCM did a nice semi-gilded set of their own late last year that has five coins in it. Obviously pricier but official and nice. http://agaunews.com/?p=6470
