Live bids and asks on .9999 pure Canadian Gold Maple Leafs, from 1 gram Maplegrams to 1 oz coins. Every coin XRF-verified at our Los Angeles facility.
Pure works like an exchange. Sellers post asks, buyers post bids, and every listing shows its premium over the live spot price, so you know what you are paying above the metal before you click anything. Take the lowest ask and the coin is yours at that price. Or place a bid at your own number and let it stand in the book until a seller meets it. Coins listed for sale show a live ask; a Maple Leaf with no ask right now can still take your bid.
The Royal Canadian Mint issued the first Gold Maple Leaf in 1979 at .999 fine and moved it to .9999 in 1982, the fineness it has carried since. Each 1 troy ounce coin is legal tender with a $50 Canadian face value, though it trades on its gold content, not its face. Three security features stack on modern coins: a micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark carrying the last two digits of the coin's year (introduced 2013), radial lines machined across both faces (2015), and the Mint's Bullion DNA program, which registers each die so that coins dated 2014 and later can be verified against the Mint's own database. Bullion coins dated 2024 onward carry the effigy of King Charles III; earlier years show Queen Elizabeth II.
The listings on this page run from the standard 1 troy ounce coin down to 1 gram Maplegram coins, with 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, and 1/20 ounce fractionals in between. Fractional coins carry higher premiums per ounce for the same reason small bars do: striking a coin costs the Mint about the same whether it holds 1 gram of gold or 31. You will also find 99.999% five-nines special issues and vintage coins from the original .999 run that ended in 1982. What a troy ounce actually is, and why bullion always weighs in it, is in our troy ounce guide.
Every Maple Leaf sold on Pure passes through our Los Angeles facility before it reaches the buyer. Verification is physical: XRF analysis plus a Sigma Metalytics precious-metal verifier, about 24 hours. Shipments are insured in both directions up to $125,000 with FedEx, and anything above that value moves by armored transport.
The order book runs in both directions. List your coin at an ask, or accept a standing bid, and ship it to the same Los Angeles facility for verification before the trade settles. Details on both flows are in How Pure Works.
