2014 Silver Maple Leaf bullion will have a new design. Security features added and new finish: RADIAL LINES, take a look:    [CLICK ON THE ONE BELOW FOR SECURITY FEATURES AND RADIAL LINES CLOSE-UP]  "Replacing the bullion finish on earlier coins, the radial lines in the new 2014 SML's field have been precisely machined to within microns on the master tooling to ensure reproducibility from die to die and coin to coin. The uniqueness of the line width and pitch gives this coin a characteristic look, and creates a light diffracting pattern that is specific to this coin. Combined with a new visual security feature â€"a textured maple leaf micro engraved with laser technology on a small area of the reverse side, with the numeral "14" denoting the coin's year of issueâ€"this coin represents the cutting edge in coin security."

Nice, some novelty...will be cool to have one.
I so hope, that someday they will remove the "milkspots" security feature.

Very interesting finish. I agree with the security features, but we are starting o get away from the bullion aspect of things. I wonder what kind of premium will be in place for this coin

I dislike the lines, and devils advocate here, how is it possible to make an indented security feature, and not impact the weight?

All and all I think it's a good idea. There has been discussion about the fake maples going around a while back and this looks like the right direction to take. Although I'm a fan of the old design, I'd be happy accept this change.
I think if you wait it out and buy these down the road when the hype is gone the premium will be about the same as the regular maples, because they are after all just replacing the old maples design.

The 2013 Gold Maples don't seem to sell for any real premium.

the premium will be the same as it ever is. it's a straight bullion play. if anything, the premium on the older ones will go up as that design is now gone.
I personally like the look. I wish they'd make them slightly different every year though. Either way, i'll pick up a couple tubes.

I like the old BU look. This new look appears to hard on the eyes...
