The High Demand of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf Coin

They decided to package, the silver maple leaf coin in tubes of 25, due to the high demand.

Many minted coins displayed the national symbol of Canada, the mapleleaf. The face values made for the beautiful coin are pennies, five, ten, and twenty cents. Canada introduced the Silver Dollar in 1935. In 1870, they removed from circulation; melted down, the twenty-cent coin, minting them, into a twenty-five cent coin. They introduced a matching fifty-cent coin the same year. Before 1920, they minted Canadian coins measuring.925 pure silver, commonly known as sterling silver. Needing strength and stability, they used Copper, for the rest of the portion needed.

The value of older Canadian silver coins between 1858 and 1968, made of more than 90 percent pure silver; with the price of silver going up internationally, 1967 and 1968, the Canadian mint shifted to fifty percent ratio from silver to copper in one year. The treasury department decided to make some of the coins fifty percent one year and eighty percent the next, increasing the value. The only way to tell the difference was with a magnet. The more copper it had in it, made the magnet stick to the coin. The beautiful silver maple leaf coin, best known for its extraordinary beauty and value, displaying a three-dimensional maple leaf placed directly on its back; an unusual addition to any collection.
