Questions & Answers
Common questions about Gold Canadian MegaLeaf coins answered by our editorial team.
What is the relationship between spot price and MegaLeaf prices?
The MegaLeaf price equals the gold spot price (per troy ounce) multiplied by 1.5 oz, plus a premium typically ranging from 2-4%. The total cost is approximately ~$7,000 including premium. This premium covers Royal Canadian Mint production, distribution, and dealer margins.
Why do MegaLeaf premiums vary between dealers?
Premium variations reflect different dealer business models, inventory positions, and overhead costs. Volume dealers with efficient operations often offer lower premiums. Some dealers may have better sourcing relationships. Shopping multiple dealers helps identify competitive pricing.
How does the bid-ask spread affect my MegaLeaf investment?
The bid-ask spread on MegaLeaf coins is typically 2-4% for standard bullion coins. With a ~$7,000 coin, this represents meaningful transaction costs. Your gold must appreciate by the full spread percentage before you break even on a round-trip transaction.
Do MegaLeaf coins have different premiums than Gold Eagles?
MegaLeaf and Gold Eagle premiums are generally comparable (2-4%). The MegaLeaf offers .9999 purity while the Eagle is .9167. Premium differences are modest, and availability can affect pricing at any given time.
When is the best time to buy MegaLeaf coins based on pricing?
The best time is during calm market conditions when premiums are at normal levels (2-4% over spot). Avoid buying during crisis-driven demand spikes when premiums can temporarily expand to 8-10% or higher. Patient buying during normal markets secures better pricing.
