A little out of my range, but a few of you on here should consider this one... it has a low mintage

The largest and most expensive gold bullion coin in the world is for sale and YOU can purchase it today from one of the nation’s best and most trusted precious metals dealers.

The American Precious Metals Exchange (APMEX), of Edmond, Oklahoma, is proud to announce that it has been chosen to sell one of the few specimens of the world’s largest gold coin.
Comprised of .99999 percent fine gold bullion, this coin weighs 100 kilos, about 220 pounds. The Royal Canadian Mint placed a face value of $1,000,000.00 Canadian Dollars on this coin. This Canadian Maple Leaf coin is the largest, purest, and highest denomination coin ever minted.

I'f certainly consider it if I had a few million to burn...

It would be interesting to see the die and press used to mint those. I wonder how many strikes and at what pressure it took.
The ultimate pocket piece for one of you
<< <i>I would love to see the slab that one goes into!!! >>
Beat me to it! I wonder if PCGS would design a custom slab for this coin if someone who did own one asked? That would be quite a chunk of plastic, and hard to grade too I suppose with all of that surface area.
I mean, its not like you could just whip this thing out to show to your dinner guests!
Perhaps the bankers of the world that are buying up all the gold should consider this one? After all with gold about to "go through the roof" and all.............
The name is LEE!
<< <i>Thats a fairly impressive piece but destined for some expensive storage facility!

220 pounds of bling would look good in the WhiteHouse , if you asked me.
Maybe the U.S. Treasury could purchase it and make some UHRs. for us poor folk.
Let's put this on the ballot
I'll bet "We the People" would vote to own it.
"The 100-kg, 99999 pure gold bullion coin with a $1 million face value was originally conceived as a unique showpiece to promote the RCM's new line of 99999 pure one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins. After several interested buyers came forward, the RCM decided to make a very limited quantity available for sale."
This was back in May of 2007.
The name is LEE!
IMO they would be lucky to get 3%.
<< <i>BTW, how many of these were made? According to the RCM:

I believe it was cast.
Teletrade had one for sale a few years ago, and I don't think it sold. I wonder if this is the same specimen. 5% over spot is a lot of juice on $3 million in bullion.

<< <i>Teletrade offered one in 2007. There's a cool photo of Ian Russell holding a "tiny" one-ounce Maple Leaf near the monster 100 kilo coin. The photo was taken (by me) at a Brink's facility in Los Angeles. Notice the nearby armed guards. >>
[Insert wisecrack about the guard being for Donn rather than the gold here.]

No need to slab it. Just use a counterstamp to verify its gold content.
Thought I'd jump in and answer a few questions.

Welcome to the boards, David, and thanks for providing direct insight into the specifics of this coin.
Edited for my lack of the English grammar!
Fantastic conversation piece.

I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.
Hmmm... I would choose the V nickel.

How does using a counterstamp verify a coin's gold content?

well to sum up- she didnt take my coin but I did learn one valueable lesson-
lifting 220 pounds of ANYTHING can give you a HERNIA!!!
Good luck to the winner!
