Its buyback value follows the fine weight times the day's spot price, plus a market premium. ## Silver Maple Leaf characteristics The Silver Maple Leaf is one of the most widely distributed silver investment coins in the world. It weighs **one troy ounce, i.e. 31.1035 g**, with a fineness of 9999 (four nines), one of the purest on the market. Its fine weight is therefore almost equal to its total weight: about 31.10 g of pure silver. It is recognisable by the central maple leaf, the royal effigy on the reverse and its security features (micro-engravings, radial texture) depending on the year. It is a **bullion** coin: its interest lies in the metal, not in collector rarity, although certain years or special series may attract particular demand. ## Calculating its buyback value The metal value is calculated as: **31.1035 g × 0.9999 × the day's silver price**. Since the world spot is the same for everyone, the gap between two offers comes from the professional's margin and the coin premium. The Maple Leaf, very liquid, usually trades close to spot. To place an offer, multiply the fine weight by the current spot and compare. Our [silver buyback](https://meilleur-rachat-argent.fr/en/silver-buyback/) page helps compare professionals in your area. Useful reminder: any silver ounce contains the same metal — only the premium differs, as explained in our guide on the [silver ounce value](https://meilleur-rachat-argent.fr/en/guides/silver-ounce-coin-value/). ## Premium, condition and buyback terms The Maple Leaf's **premium**, the gap between its price and its metal value, depends on supply and demand, packaging (tube, capsule) and the coin's condition. A scratched or oxidised coin may be discounted; a coin in its original capsule is often better valued. At buyback, the professional checks authenticity (weight, dimensions, possibly a test), identifies the year, then applies its schedule. Payment is made by bank transfer or cheque above cash limits, with ID and entry in the police register. Keep any proof of purchase, useful for the tax treatment of resale. ## Frequently asked questions What is the fineness of the Silver Maple Leaf?
