Stefanos1111 New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 7:46 pm I recently ordered a maple leaf coin from the Royal Canadian Mint website. When it arrived, I opened the slip of authenticity and saw that my coin was number 2 out of 30 000. I thought it was pretty special. I am now wondering if this adds some value to the coin. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

The COAs are inserted randomly into the coin cases during packaging -- there is no definitive link between strike order and COA number. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 8:55 pm There is no added value, if the coin in the collection. My advise in small experiment: the coin has large mintage, so will be available for long time, so - list your coin on ebay, setting auction with starting price as issue + 13% and see. Some people looking for low COAs .... Very easy. And in collection, again, it still the same nice Maple leaf coin, disregards COA. My coin waiting for me at CP... Report this Post to the Staff

Northerncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 2019 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 10:53 pm I wouldn't sell it for less then double issue price on ebay, there is always someone wanting those really low numbers, Plus ebay and Paypal fees will eat up 10 percent or more of the profit Heck try triple issue in a Buy it now, you could run it for 30 days free, rinse and repeat until it sells lol.
