Hey everyone,
I am looking to pick up some silver maples to add to the collection. The question is, what are the values of silver maples for different years? Is there a price guide for this?
I have the option of buying 2009 or up maples. Does total mintage play a role in value for maples? Seems the 2009's would be the lowest minted.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

in my opinion, being 2013, I try to buy 2009 and earlier (if its around the same price)
i just like the idea of older maples, might only be 4 years but I'm weird like that.

Is there any actual physical price difference for different years or has the market not dictated a price yet?

I have a 1989 Maple Leaf and I like the younger Queen design.

"The older the better". That's the rule. Prices increase as the maple gets older. I personally wouldn't pay extra for an.older maple even if the older effigy looks better.

I prefer brand new silver/gold maple leafs and only would buy the older ones if I decided that I wanted one from each year, which I don't at this point.

The older the better is not true... Mintage is all that really counts! Obviously, as it becomes older, it's harder to find in some cases. Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadi...r_Maple_LeafFrom regular bullion Silver Maple Leaf, 1997 has the lower mintage and command the higher premium, followed by 1996, and so on. If not, maybe the 1988 one could have a bit of a premium because it's first year issue, etc. Privys and 1989 proof are another thing. |

This is the single year (as far I know), that RCM issued Proof SML. If I understand correctly - it commemorates 10 yrs of the first Gold ML. Was issued as single coin, in the nice wooden case and non-serialized COA, also as part of different tri metal sets (Gold, Silver, Platinum). As I remember, the price of single varies between $70-100. Let's say, IMO - it "mast have" for SML collector. The Proof finish on it beautiful. |

I agree, I picked one up and it's great. The box is made of maple, and the finish is great. Quote:

Limited mintage (total mintage was 30,000 but not sure of the actual mintage) as opposed to higher mintage for bullion, the case and certificate. I got mine from J&M Coins in Vancouver - $89 https://www.jandm.com/script/getite...CID=5&PID=32 |

Actually, this is the one and only year they minted a proof version... and what very few people know is they will never again be struck in proof finish. I love these 1989 proof ML coins and I have 1 full tri-metal set (1oz of silver, gold and platinum), two fractional sets (1oz silver, 1/10oz gold and 1/10oz platinum) and 2 SML. They all come with unique maple wood case and are FABULOUS!! ;) Edited by TIPIT

TIPIT: any reason why RCM will not make proof maple any more? PS, I almost have the same proof collection as yours  |

@Silverbug Nice collection ;) I have one regret for my full tri-metal set... I bought one with the coins graded, so I cannot put the coins into the case! :( At first, I thought it wouldn't be that bad, but now I regret it very much! I would gladly exchange any ungraded ML formy graded ones (they were 67-68-68 if I remember correctly). When the Mint sold the proof 1989 ML, they stated it would be the only proof version EVER! In their own words: "After this year, the Maple Leaf will never again be struck in proof." I bought my last fractional set a little more than what it was really worth because it came with all the original paperwork, just take a look at my post on RFD at that time (with pics): http://forums.redflagdeals.com/rfd-...post16483540So now the question is: "Will RCM honor this promise forever?"
