Hey guys,
I was wondering if Maples in sheets can be sold for more than regular circulating Maples do? What if they're cut up into a 5-strip? I'm guessing no, but What the Hey it's Fridey.

I am confused since Maples come in tubes.

I bought some 2000 privey fireworks maples for three dollar's over spot, only because they where out of the regular ones. The dealer told me that they are usually 10 dollar's over, but the owner was out of town that day. That was also two months ago before the premium's went threw the roof

According to google images, there are sheets out there. I thought they only came in tubes, like the ASE. But apparently, they have them in sheets, since I see different dated maples and a timbe wolves in sheets, at least from google image, and they don't look like they vacuum sealed them at home. I'm sure keeping it as one giant sheet will be better, but you'll have to hunt for someone that are into those things. I for one, wouldn't pay anything extra, since it seems harder to storage all that coinage in uncut sheets. |

Sheets should have a premium since theyre harder to find. Whether or not the coins are any better quality I have no idea

I think its a Canadian thing as I think they are only available in Canada unless you get them from a secondary market.

Yes, they are quite a nuisance to store, lol. I ask because I have a sheet of 5 (2005, I believe). The sheet says RCM suchandsuch - it's not homemade. Where I bought it they were selling them one at a time or cut up. I could only afford 5 at the time. |

I prefer a tube. The sheets are not practical and the quality of the coins aren't any better than the tubes, contrary to the notion that sealed coins are better. In fact, over time, the plastic (or cellophane) gets hard & cracks, leaving the coin vulnerable to toning. You could have a perfect coin in tube/flip or a scratched-up milk-spotted coin sealed in cellophane.  Anyway, I find flips/tubes better and more convenient...  |

I believe that you can still buy sheets directly from the mint, but you need to put in a request for them to be like that and you have to pay a premium. As for premium selling the sheets, you will get a premium above a regular maple...usually from the silver collectors who would like their product to be mint sealed still. Not sure of the difference in premiums between an individually sealed maple, a half sheet or a full sheet though.

I saw some 3rd portrait maples in two sheets of 8 at my LCS once, coulda had them tear one of the pouches out of it, but did not think to ask them.
My 1989 was in a pouch, likely from a sheet, and I removed it and put it in a 2.5 x 2.5

Yes, before I got sidetracked and out of the hobby, this was how I was collecting them, in sheets, I don,t have them in front of me, but they were like the pandas back in the day,, 10 to a sheet I believe it was.
I actually thought that was pretty neat how they packed them, made them unique.
