Collector Research Notes

Commemorates the 25th anniversary of Canada's arboreal emblem, the maple tree, featuring an intimate nature scene celebrating the iconic Canadian symbol.

What Collectors Usually Check

  • Melt value gives you a useful floor for precious-metal content, but finished collector pieces can still trade at a premium based on packaging, scarcity, and market demand.
  • Original mint pricing provides issue-day context, but aftermarket pricing often moves independently once a coin sells out or enters the secondary market.
  • Use the listed edge, diameter, finish, and legends to verify the exact issue before comparing prices or catalog entries.
  • Because the Mint listing is sold out, live pricing is usually best checked against dealer inventories and sold-market comps rather than issue price alone.
