1oz. 9999 fine gold coin Royal Canadian Mint (Ontario gold). Spot plus 2%. 912-001012

There are no more desirable gold coins than those minted in Canada by the Royal Canadian Mint. Renowned for the highest quality, consistency, and purity; of up to 99.999% for special editions. The regular Maple leaf 1 ounce coin is one of the world’s most sought after forms of gold bullion. The high demand of Canadian gold coins also means they are the target of counterfeiters looking to cash in on their popularity. Even when they are sealed, we like to confirm they are authentic. This usually means removing them from the tamperproof packaging. We had to literally break this one out of its container to confirm everything was as represented. We have seen cheap fakes on numerous occasions but sophisticated gold cap/tungsten core bars an coins are being encountered more and more. The specific gravity of Tungsten is almost identical to pure gold making weight vs. dimensions testing useless. Once you cover a tungsten core with a reasonably thick shell of pure gold, scratch testing, X-Ray fluorescence gold testing machines are no good either because they can only test to a depth of 20-30 microns. Along with decades of experience we use the Sigma Metalytics Pro to confirm any gold bars and coins we are unsure about. The Sigma Metalytics Pro (PMV) tester works by using electromagnetic waves to measure the specific electrical resistivity of precious metals, allowing it to penetrate through coins, bars, and assay cards to detect fakes. It verifies authenticity by confirming the metal’s bulk purity and density, with sensors that can check depths up to 12.50mm. This RCM 1oz. 9999 easily passed all of our tests once we removed it from the packaging. It is also reassuring that it showcases all the latest state of the art anti-counterfeiting micro embossing technology. Our latest 1 ounce $50.00 face value Maple Leaf coin was produced using Canadian gold sourced from just one location in Ontario. The Detour Lake Mine is a strategic holding of Agnico Eagle, located 185 kilometer northeast of Cochrane Ontario. It is the largest gold producing mine in Canada with the country’s largest gold mineral reserves. Most Canadian gold coins we see do not come with any documentations identifying the source of gold used.
