What premium does a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (1 oz) usually carry?

Historically a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (1 oz) tends to trade about 3–6% over its melt value at retail, though premiums spike when demand is high and compress when it's quiet. Treat the range here as a guide, not a quote.

Is the melt value what I'll pay or get for a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf (1 oz)?

No. Melt value is the intrinsic worth of the metal — live spot price times the coin's pure content. A dealer sells above melt (their premium) and buys slightly below it (their spread). The melt figure here is the honest baseline; actual retail and buy-back prices move with demand.

The one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf is .9999 fine — a full troy ounce of pure gold and nothing else — so its melt value is exactly the live gold spot price.

Four-nines purity

Unlike the 22k Eagle, the Maple Leaf is pure gold with no alloy, so its gross weight and gold content are the same one ounce. Premiums tend to run a touch lower than the Eagle.
