How to purchase 1984 gold Canada Maple Leaf $50 coins:
The 1984 gold Canada Maple Leaf $50 coin is available in Uncirculated and Proof condition. Here is some technical information about these coins that can help you make a more informed buying decision.
Proof coins tend to be rarer than Uncirculated coins because the dies that are used to produced Proof coins tend to be specially made to bring out the finest details in the coin's design. Furthermore, Proof coins were generally produced in smaller quantities because they were produced to satisfy collector demand for high-quality examples of the coins.
As a result, be sure to look for Proof coins that feature a well-struck portrait on the obverse and a well-defined maple leaf on the reverse. Doing this will help you find the best looking coin possible to add to your collection.
On the other hand, Uncirculated examples of this coin tend to be softly struck around Queen Elizabeth's ear and forehead on the obverse and on the points of the maple leaf on the reverse. These examples tend to sell for slightly less than well-struck examples because most collectors of Canadian coins desire well-struck examples of this coin.
Moreover, this coin also tends to have problems with excessive bag marks that appear on Queen Elizabeth's cheek and on the middle of the maple leaf. This flaw detracts from the price of the coin because the bag marks detract from the coin's appearance.
As a result, be sure to purchase well-struck Uncirculated coins that have few bag marks and nice surfaces. If you do this, you will purchase a lovely coin that will always be in high demand by collectors and investors.
