Sell Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins for Cash
Sell Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins with Moonstone Gold through our UK postal service. Request a free insured pack, review your no-obligation offer and receive immediate payment by bank transfer after acceptance.
Whether you have a single coin or a collection, we explain the valuation before you decide. Also, we return your coins free of charge if you decline our offer. You can therefore check the figures without committing to a sale.
Sell Canadian Maple Leaf Coins in Different Sizes
Gold Maple Leafs come in full-ounce and fractional sizes. For example, the range includes half-ounce, quarter-ounce, tenth-ounce and twentieth-ounce coins. Each size contains a different amount of gold, so keep them separate when preparing your collection.
First, note the year, denomination and wording on each coin. Then, count how many coins you have in each size. Keep any certificates, packaging and purchase records with the relevant pieces.
However, a maple leaf design alone does not identify a gold coin. The Mint also produces coins in other precious metals. If you are unsure about your collection, contact our team before posting it.
Understanding Purity and Fine-Gold Weight
Before you sell Canadian Maple Leaf coins, check the purity marked on each piece. Modern standard Gold Maple Leafs carry a 9999 fineness mark, meaning 99.99% gold. However, early examples can carry a 999 mark instead.
A standard one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf contains one troy ounce of fine gold. For reference, the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2025 specifications list a weight of 31.11 grams and 99.99% purity.
Consequently, use the correct size and purity when estimating value. Our gold price calculator offers a starting point, but it cannot authenticate a coin. Also, avoid confusing troy ounces with ordinary ounces when entering a weight.

What Affects Your Coin Valuation?
When you sell Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins, the offer depends on their assessed gold content and the available buying rate. In addition, market movements can change the amount between an initial estimate and a confirmed offer.
For example, a one-ounce coin contains more gold than a quarter-ounce coin. Nevertheless, a headline price alone does not explain the complete payment. Ask which rate applies to your coins and whether any deductions affect the total.
Also, compare quotes for the same sizes, quantities and editions. Record when each quote applies and how long it remains available. This makes it easier to compare the amount you would actually receive.
Sell Canadian Maple Leaf Bullion or Collector Editions
Standard bullion coins derive much of their value from their gold content. However, proof coins, special editions and scarce examples may also attract collector interest. Their condition and original presentation can therefore matter.
Keep coins in their capsules or grading holders, and avoid cleaning or polishing them. Even a small change to the surface can affect collector appeal. Also, retain boxes and certificates that help identify the edition.
If you suspect a rare piece, consider a specialist coin valuation before accepting a metal-based offer. Our guide to selling different gold coins explains the wider service. You can then decide which route suits your collection.
Designs, Security Features and Assessment
Maple Leaf designs and security features vary by year and size. For example, recent one-ounce coins have radial lines and a small security leaf. Older coins may look different without that difference indicating a problem.
Before you sell Canadian Maple Leaf coins, tell us about anything unusual in their appearance or packaging. We assess their identity, weight and precious-metal content rather than relying on a photograph or visible marking alone.
Our gold testing information explains assessment methods. However, the appropriate checks depend on the item. Ask how we will assess coins in sealed packaging or grading holders before sending them.
Preparing to Sell Canadian Maple Leaf Coins by Post
First, make a list of the coins you intend to send. Include the size, year and quantity where you can identify them. Next, photograph the collection and its packaging for your records.
Follow the pack instructions and prevent loose coins from striking one another. Also, keep each certificate with its relevant coin. Avoid removing protective packaging simply to obtain a home weight.
Finally, check the contents before sealing the parcel and include the requested contact details. If you plan to sell Canadian Maple Leaf coins alongside other items, list each group separately. This helps you compare the assessment with your own records.
Immediate Payment When You Sell Canadian Maple Leaf Coins
