Thank you Silver Dragon for introducing me to Harrys Coin shop. Not only have you got me into stacking but inspired me to collect some coins again like I did when I was 8 years old. Love your videos and I appreciate what you do. Justin
Philharmonics, Britannias, Roo's, Eagles, Krugerrands, and Maples: I love them all! The first coins I ever bought, though, were Maples (with QE2, not Charles). Stack what you like, its all silver at the end of the day.
I am brand new to “stacking”, I’ve learned so much from this channel. I can only hope that I can find a coin shop with a kind, friendly, and knowledgeable owner like Harry. I’ve officially subscribed on RUclips and Rumble, thank you for your honest and insightful tips that you have chosen to share with people looking to secure their financial future.
Love the channel, but gonna bicker with you here. You just keep cutting breaks to the ASE. If a category like denomination and purity "doesn't matter", why did you include it? Oh "doesn't matter so it's a tie"? Nonsense. Size is not a tie. Because Maples are smaller in diameter they'll fit in many tubes with rounds that Eagles won't. Eagles need a tube designed for them while Maples can go into nearly any tube. Win for the Maple. Purity too may be incidental pragmatically but, since you kept it as a category and since Maples have more purity, it's another win for the Leaf - no question about it. Look, the difference between a silver medal and a gold medal at the Olympics may be .001 seconds, but a win is a win, right? Eagles have more liquidity cuz LCS's pay more for them. Eagles get the win there, another disagreement. I love both coins. But I concur with your conclusion, the Maple wins. But, the score for the Maple was higher than you counted. Enjoyed the vid!
@@dingotopruc9642 Betting on it or hoping for it? In the mid 1980s, I was paying $8 each for silver maples and $9 for Eagles and Libertads at a coin dealer's store. I don't recall what spot was at the time. No internet made things a lot harder. I never understood why the purest of the 3 bullion coins was the cheapest.
If I were buying, I'd be looking for Queen Elizabeth Maples. The American Eagles look dull and lifeless next to the Maples, and I don't want a coin with Charles on it if I can help it. However, if I had to choose between a Charles Maple and an American Eagle, I might still choose the Maple and just never turn it over. 😂
For me I agree with you that the Silver Maple is my number 1 choice and the Silver Eagle my number 2. I still continue to stack both. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
As a Canadian it’s a no-brainer to pick the Maple. I was really hoping that with The Queens passing and after such a long reign,that we might get away from the monarchs on our bullion products and go with something patriotic (like the ASE) But alas, now we have to look at Charles.
@@KillerRatedM The monarch is no longer identified with our country. The place was discovered by the French and they were kicked out by the British, more than 200 years ago. These monarchs have been imposed on us, in the US you kicked them out. In Canada the monarchs remain only on paper, their presence is only because the structure of our government requires a figurehead, we should make it into a republic. Imagine, the dude is alive, how would you like Thrump's or Biden's kisser on your dollar bills and coins.😖
@@KillerRatedM Sure! The British monarchy has no real relevance in Canada, at least not in my lifetime(and I’m nearly 50) It’s a thing of the past, maybe a tradition at best!
@@KillerRatedM No tax money goes to the UK , they have no say in our government or laws. We are fully independent. When the monarch visits Canada, sure some people turn out for the event and to get a look at a famous person but no different than when a US president visits, people go to watch but there’s no bowing or anything like that😉
I’m taking maples every time over eagles. Much lower premiums, sometimes as low or lower than rounds. I live in a western state bordering Canada so they’re very liquid here. It’s almost a shame that my own country can’t give me a better deal on their bullion coins than the Canadians do.
@@joepolymath2308 Trudy the WEF socialist tyrant finds creative ways to get his pound of flesh out of us. However, there is no upfront tax on selling silver. If we declare a cap gain (lol....not!!), then there could be a price to pay. Canadians generally do not buy junk silver or American Gold Eagles, British Sovereigns, Francs, or gold Krugs because we are taxed on purchases when the purity is not 99.5 or greater. It is a very sneaky way for Trudy to ensure we buy Canadian (4x9s) and not foreign gold.
I Started purchasing Silver Maples a couple of months ago and quite happy with them, plus like you said, they are a bit cheaper than ASE, I already have a couple tubes of Maples. THE SARGE
Shimmering beauty - against that which is not . . . and besides, one has the "damaged coin look" of a missing reed. However, I do strongly believe in "buying American" when its superior quality presents itself. Everyone has the choice to decide for themselves (after all, it's their own hard-earned money).
If people ask me which country is better, as an American I'm gonna say USA. However that's not the question being asked. (And please, Canadian stackers...let's not stop reading at the first sentence!) The question is which is the better bullion. The American Silver Eagle, or the Canadian Maple Leaf. I had the same answer for Silver Dragon's (SD) original video that I did for this one...THE CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF. In fact, I just bought my first Royal Canadian Mint 10 oz bar! I kept it in the original plastic, and it is beautiful to admire! I love the heft and beauty. I plan on stacking primarily with RCM products. The premium on their products are almost non-existent, they are beautiful to look at, and the price is just better than getting Eagles. Not to mention, even though SD says purity doesn't matter...it does though. I get purer product for a better price! I love 'Murica...I'm probably more 'Murican than the biggest Eagle stacker with an arsenal the size of the US Army...I'm still buying Maples all day, and through Walmart too! Cash prices via a paid off monthly credit card....a no brainer! RCM really does have beautiful product. It's like buying generic rounds, but from a sovereign mint. You just can't beat that!
If you want to give yourself a high go to their web site. They offered a 1 Kg gold coin, now sold out, minted at $2500, for the yeat of the dragon, cost in CDN $105 000.00
I love maples for the milk spot protection and lower premiums in the past. I never understood the issue with the monarchs on the coin and people having issues with that. Can someone explain?
@@urofan old news, dude. And the spots have long been fixed. Here is an interesting thought....If silver goes to the moon, you know the Chinese will be counterfeiting hard. The milk spots will not be a counterfeited feature. So, in an unexpected way, the spots will show authentic silver gov issued coins. The real value is the silver, not the stamp.
As a Canadian, I have to agree. The portrait of Charles III is totally "flucked" and ugly as sin. I haven't bought any 2024s yet, only more 2023s (with Queen Elizabeth). (LOL)
I don’t care much who’s face in on the coin. I’ll keep staring at that maple leaf. I like the maple Silver for its hard bright shine it gives, but the american eagles has a smoother shine which I like too.
I can appreciate the fairness displayed here. As a Canadian I do prefer the coin of my country, as I suspect many of our American cousins down south would prefer the eagles ….. tbh they are both great coins and thanks again for being fair to us northerners :) one last thought , if ever tshtf and one might be bugging out to our great northern Forrest’s ….. would not hurt to have some maples ;) Thanks for all the work u do to help our hobby and stacking community :) !!!!
woudlve been cool to see graded examples as well, also the fact of grading Soverieng bullion, grading standards for sovereign bullion, how they grade differently, the costs etc. Kinda hard to believe you can compare the two coins without having and showcasing the coins graded, the coins grading standards etc. Not every coin that comes off of the minting process is perfect, thus why and how theyre graded determines many parts of that factor. Which country mints their bullion coin better, which uses a better metal, or higher quality planchet. For instance Did you know every single US Eagle made is actually A Sunshine Mint Bullion/Round Planchet; basically every eagle is basically a sunshine mint round, but the US mint uses their dies to press the design onto the coin. Canada uses a different mints brand for their planchets, or they possible use their own made planchets now. I still think the video is cool, but seriously so many content creators make this type of video, video format but still they never go fully into it. With more in depth details, intricate details etc.
I really just wish the us mint would step up their game and give us the proof like finish on regular coins like Canada does.. that mirror like shine on a coin that isn't sold as "proof" is just so nice.
@@ronaldchew4147I have been thinking about that. Officially you’re allowed to take €10,000 ($11,000) of currency when traveling abroad from the EU without having to declare it at customs. So since Eagles have a denomination of $1 and because they are legal tender, technically I should be allowed to bring back 11,000 Eagles (or apx 4,000 Maples) without having to worry about import fees and VAT. Not sure my little scheme would work though 😅
Good video. As a new stacker this type of video helps me a great deal. Also . The information is presented in away that alows me to think, then retain key points. In other words you speak slow enough to understand.
Hi , I’m in England and recently started my stacking journey, currently buying 1oz silver Britannia coins , should I add Canada Maple leaf and American Eagles to my collection , any help appreciated
Add ASE and CM. Both are great coins. ASE carry a higher premium here in usa. Most LCS buy back is about same for both coins. Maples are also less faked, ans carry a better look in my opinion.
I like the type 1 eagles better than the type 2 but the newer maples woth the radial lines are very beautiful coins and I like those better and I think they are my favorite bullion coin. However my favorite mint it the Perth mint the kookaburra and the lunar series even the 125th anniversary coin are works of art
Good video, Silver Dragon. I have both, Maples and Eagles. I agree, I also cannot stand scandalous Charlie on the back of the Maples, I prefer Queen Elizabeth.
I just received my first ever maple leaf two weeks back I couldn’t be more happy I also received my first ever ase and I prefer the maple in every way as long as it’s not milk spotted and bu
@@Jayjay-no7sp thanks I’m actually a 17 year old stacker so I have a long way to go in stacking I also got my first two silver Britannia’s three weeks ago Britannia’s are my favorite overall and maples are my second
@@giancarlocapellan6514 that's awesome!! I wish I could've started when I was 17. Keep up the good work , it'll pay off at the end. Wait till you get your first gold coin , it'll be an experience to remember for sure
Great run through and comparison. Agree tax implications should maybe be another factor. Obvious rack-n-stack points to Maples as the better coin but there’s just something about stacking my country’s bullion. ASE gets my vote
It wasn’t long ago that I would’ve hands-down chosen Eagles as I was trying to simplify my stack. However, I just bought some maple leafs and they sure are beautiful and they actually stack better. They do need to be handled with greater care. I think the most important thing that you mentioned is that the spread is less with Maple leafs and that is the most important thing to me
I have lots of both but prefer Maples due to lower premium and Mintshield. Coin dealers in general are not giving you much more back for ASEs over Maples when premiums are low
i have been stacking constructional silver for almost 15 years and finally make enough to afford the premium on bullion coins. i must say - i agree with everything you said. i love the american silver eagles and have several - but the silver maples are a notch better and a no brainer. i can source both of these coins locally and the silver maples are consistently $2 cheaper.
Walking Liberty's beauty is second-to-none. The Maple is a leaf, the radial anti-counterfeit design looks like something cheap from the 90s, and has some island's monarch on the back. Eagles are hands down better. Especially the Type 1s.
I agree 100%. While I don't like the image of royalty on their coins, the spread is what makes the difference. Also, the security features. I also like the Maple Leaf back design better than the Eagles.
I'm in Canada, love the Maple, and love the savings. That said, stack the coin of your realm. If things get weird, you'll want the home made stuff. So that is an ASE if you are in the US.
Just started watching videos of buying and investing in precious metals and had a question. I know next to nothing about any of this but if you were to buy silver to turn a profit as well as keep your wealth safe could you then convert that silver to gold as it is much more static then our devalued dollar and much less prone to influx?
My LCS pays a lot less for Maples because of their history of milk spots, even though that problem has been corrected in recent years. They don't want the hassle of differentiating by year.
So glad you did this video because I have been trying to understand it all. My biggest concern though is because it’s Canadian will you have the same buying power here in America if times go bad. Because I just know in regular Canadian coins people won’t accept those even vending machines won’t accept those. For that reason, I just feel and I don’t know anything about this stuff, but I just feel that buying the American is better for me for peace of mind. I could be wrong.
I definitely preferred the Canadian Maple Leafs to the type 1 Silver Eagles. But the type 2 Silver Eagles look incredible! Same with the type 2 Gold Eagles.
Thanks Silver Dragon... I am glad you included the MINTSHIELD Trademarked technology. Since 2018, The Royal Canadian Mint has included this coating to help with any potential 'milk spots'. I agree wholeheartedly with your final analysis...Go Maple Leafs!! LOL
I think that ASE are the best for Americans to buy when premiums are lower. There are often times that the premiums jump pretty high and you can unload them for a higher price.
Recognized you by your laugh at Harry’s this morning but decided not to call it out since you don’t show your face. Thanks for showing me that Alexander coin.
For stacking it is the Maple but being an American and loving America and I love the Eagle old style which is what I buy mostly because of strength and beauty. The other thing to consider is the Eagle is a stronger made coin.
I'm an eagle guy. I have some maples, and they are nice. I don't remember any price difference, but my maples were bulk acquisitions. I wouldn't mind having a tube of the newer Maple Leafs. Eagles win the beauty contest for me. Ok... I want both. TY.
The simplicity AND detail in the maple is astonishing. I’m as patriotic as they come, but the maple is my favorite.
I am with SD. The portrait of King Charles ruins the aesthetics of the Maple for me.

I like the Canadian maple. The ones I purchased as Queen Elizabeth on them. I don’t care too much for Charles.

Great info. I have more eagles than maples, but the maples are my pick. Beautiful coin.
The maples are.9999 fine and has less premiums. Eagles are overpriced.
25 to 30 dollars? Show me where I can buy eagles for under $30.
I'd like to know that myself but I've been stacking so long I've got eagles from when they were $17.
Costco wholesale online today are $33.99 for 20ct eagles . Havnt found under 30.
Grabbed maples from Costco earlier this month for $31.99 25ct

If you get 2018 & newer Maples, they won't milk spot.
Great run through and comparison. Agree tax implications should maybe be another factor. Obvious rack-n-stack points to Maples as the better coin but there’s just something about stacking my country’s bullion. ASE gets my vote
It wasn’t long ago that I would’ve hands-down chosen Eagles as I was trying to simplify my stack. However, I just bought some maple leafs and they sure are beautiful and they actually stack better. They do need to be handled with greater care. I think the most important thing that you mentioned is that the spread is less with Maple leafs and that is the most important thing to me
I have lots of both but prefer Maples due to lower premium and Mintshield. Coin dealers in general are not giving you much more back for ASEs over Maples when premiums are low
I like the eagles but I love the maples.
Totally agree. Silver has a tendency to tarnish or turn milky. Having the coin that had resolved that problem is a big plus. Maples all the way!
i have been stacking constructional silver for almost 15 years and finally make enough to afford the premium on bullion coins. i must say - i agree with everything you said. i love the american silver eagles and have several - but the silver maples are a notch better and a no brainer. i can source both of these coins locally and the silver maples are consistently $2 cheaper.
I'd be curious to see a series like this comparing a few of the low premium niue coins against the maples the same categories.
Maples all day…no milk spots
Walking Liberty's beauty is second-to-none. The Maple is a leaf, the radial anti-counterfeit design looks like something cheap from the 90s, and has some island's monarch on the back.
Eagles are hands down better. Especially the Type 1s.
Fantastic sharing. Love it
Love your show
Today I picked up a 2012 1 kilo Australia koala coin with the queen on the back and it is a gorgeous chunk of metal.
I agree 100%. While I don't like the image of royalty on their coins, the spread is what makes the difference. Also, the security features. I also like the Maple Leaf back design better than the Eagles.
Size, or weight at least, goes to the maple leaf. If your stack is legendary, then that bit of copper will add up.
Great video brother thanks for the info 😀
I like the Maples. They also have 1.5 and 2 ounce versions as well which make them even better.
I agree Dragons on the Maple leaf, I buy more, but still love the Eagles when I get a good price.
I love both of them equally 💯
Maples, hands down...🧐
I’m kind of partial to the Silver Maple, but have started adding ASE’s to my stack a couple at a time.
I'm in Canada, love the Maple, and love the savings.
That said, stack the coin of your realm. If things get weird, you'll want the home made stuff.
So that is an ASE if you are in the US.
Maples look more polished and precise. Gotta hand it to the maples.
The proof eagles are great, but not the plain ones
Maples for sure
I really enjoyed your videos. I been learning so much from you. Thank you
maples 100%...they dont milk spot...that matters when time to sell.
Just started watching videos of buying and investing in precious metals and had a question. I know next to nothing about any of this but if you were to buy silver to turn a profit as well as keep your wealth safe could you then convert that silver to gold as it is much more static then our devalued dollar and much less prone to influx?
Buffalo for me.
I do ❤️ me some Brittania and Austrian coins.
Informative and beautiful
Hi, another awesome video. You're right, the maple wins. Thank you for the information.
My LCS pays a lot less for Maples because of their history of milk spots, even though that problem has been corrected in recent years. They don't want the hassle of differentiating by year.
Maples, win ugly factor with Charles on it.😅 On the other hand, picked up 3 tubes of Maples this week $31/ea.
I agree with you about not wanting to look at King Charles, lol. That’s why I’d get only the Maples with the Queen (2023 and earlier).
I am seeing coin shops charging $40 dollars for the Mexican Libertad and $35 for Maples.
Lower mintage?
@@Dudecifer I am a truck driver and for the last month I haven't been able to find Maples in Texas, Ohio, Florida or Tennessee.
Hello Silver Dragons
Another great video ! Thanks
I love them both! ❤
So glad you did this video because I have been trying to understand it all. My biggest concern though is because it’s Canadian will you have the same buying power here in America if times go bad. Because I just know in regular Canadian coins people won’t accept those even vending machines won’t accept those. For that reason, I just feel and I don’t know anything about this stuff, but I just feel that buying the American is better for me for peace of mind. I could be wrong.
For storage, you should consider the volume of each monster box. The ASEMB wastes quite a bit of space.
I buy either one that has the lowest premium, usually maples, but sometimes Eagles are on sale, especially lately.
Design wise my favorite are the maple leaf and the krugerrand
I definitely preferred the Canadian Maple Leafs to the type 1 Silver Eagles. But the type 2 Silver Eagles look incredible! Same with the type 2 Gold Eagles.
I have a tube of both
Nice Video
Thanks Silver Dragon... I am glad you included the MINTSHIELD Trademarked technology. Since 2018, The Royal Canadian Mint has included this coating to help with any potential 'milk spots'. I agree wholeheartedly with your final analysis...Go Maple Leafs!! LOL
They'll never win the cup again! ;-)
I think that ASE are the best for Americans to buy when premiums are lower. There are often times that the premiums jump pretty high and you can unload them for a higher price.
Recognized you by your laugh at Harry’s this morning but decided not to call it out since you don’t show your face.
Thanks for showing me that Alexander coin.
For stacking it is the Maple but being an American and loving America and I love the Eagle old style which is what I buy mostly because of strength and beauty. The other thing to consider is the Eagle is a stronger made coin.
I'm an eagle guy.
I have some maples, and they are nice.
I don't remember any price difference, but my maples were bulk acquisitions.
I wouldn't mind having a tube of the newer Maple Leafs.
Eagles win the beauty contest for me.
Ok... I want both. TY.
Maples! Even though i have 5x more eagles.
