The Best Place to Sell Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins
If you want to sell Gold Maple Leaf coins in Los Angeles, South Bay Coin is the bullion specialist locals have trusted since 1980. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured California precious metals dealer in Lawndale, and we have handled thousands of Royal Canadian Mint coins for clients across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles County.
The Gold Maple Leaf is one of the purest bullion coins in the world, struck in .9999 fine 24 karat gold. That purity matters when you sell, and many pawn shops and jewelry stores miss it entirely. Because South Bay Coin owns an in-house refinery, we recognize exactly what your coins contain and pay you a far higher percentage of their true gold value than a reseller ever could.
Every appraisal is handled by our own experienced team. We test, weigh, and evaluate each coin in front of you, explain how we reached the offer, and never apply any pressure to sell. Whether you have a single coin or a full tube, you will get the same care you would expect when you sell gold coins in Los Angeles, plus the highest possible payout for your Maple Leafs.

Updated every 60 seconds during market hoursHow We Value Your Gold Maple Leaf Coins
A Gold Maple Leaf is valued first on its precious metal content. Each standard coin holds one full troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, which is purer than the alloyed 22 karat American Gold Eagles and Krugerrands many sellers compare it to. We weigh your coin on a calibrated scale, confirm the purity, and tie the offer directly to the live gold market so you can see how your payout is built.
We also know the Maple Leaf inside and out. We recognize the radial line security pattern and the micro-engraved laser maple leaf privy mark that the Royal Canadian Mint added to combat counterfeits, and we verify both in person rather than asking you to ship a coin to a stranger. We buy every size the mint has issued, from the one ounce flagship down to the fractional half, quarter, tenth, and twentieth ounce coins, plus the one gram MapleGram.
Condition is handled honestly. Soft 24 karat gold scratches easily, and many Maple Leafs develop surface milk spots over time. For bullion-grade coins these marks affect appearance, not gold content, so they have little impact on a melt-based payout. We explain every factor before you decide, the same transparent approach we bring to gold bars and other bullion.

What Our Customers Say
Common Questions About Selling Gold Maple Leaf Coins
South Bay Coin in Lawndale is the South Bay's specialist buyer for Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins. Walk in to our showroom at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd, get a free in-person appraisal, and leave with same-day cash. We serve Torrance, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and all of Los Angeles County.
A one ounce Gold Maple Leaf holds a full troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, so its value tracks the live gold market very closely. We weigh and verify your coin, then build the offer directly from the current spot price. Because we refine in-house, we pay a higher percentage of that value than most buyers.
Yes. We buy every fractional Gold Maple Leaf the Royal Canadian Mint has issued, including the half, quarter, tenth, and twentieth ounce coins, as well as the one gram MapleGram. Each fractional coin is weighed and verified individually, so you are paid accurately for the gold content of every piece.
The main difference is purity. The Gold Maple Leaf is .9999 fine 24 karat gold, while the American Gold Eagle is 22 karat and alloyed with copper and silver for durability. A one ounce coin of each still contains one ounce of pure gold, but the Maple Leaf is softer and shows handling marks more easily.
For bullion-grade coins, very little. Milk spots and surface scratches affect appearance, not the gold content inside the coin, so a melt-based offer is barely impacted. We evaluate each coin honestly and explain whether condition matters at all for your specific Maple Leafs before you decide to sell.
Absolutely. Original mint tubes, assay cards, and certificates are nice to have but are not required to sell. The value of a bullion Maple Leaf comes from its gold content, which we verify in person. Loose coins, raw coins, and coins missing their packaging are all welcome at our Lawndale showroom.
We verify weight and dimensions on calibrated equipment and inspect the Royal Canadian Mint security features, including the radial line pattern and the micro-engraved laser maple leaf privy mark on newer issues. Everything is checked in front of you, so you never have to mail a coin away to confirm it is genuine.
No appointment is needed. Walk-ins are always welcome during business hours at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale. If you prefer, you can call (310) 363-7808 or text photos to (310) 363-2697 ahead of time so we can give you an idea of what to expect before you arrive.
Yes. We buy Gold Maple Leafs from every year of issue since 1979, including early dates, privy mark editions, and specialty releases. Our team recognizes the variants that carry value beyond melt, so if a coin you own is worth more to a collector, we account for that in your offer.
A pawn shop usually treats bullion as generic gold and resells it at a markup, which lowers your payout. As a licensed dealer with an in-house refinery, we recognize the Maple Leaf's purity, verify it on the spot, and pay you a higher percentage of its true gold value with transparent, no-pressure appraisals.
