How the lowest price is chosen
We mark the cheapest offer you can actually buy:
- It's in stock, or available to order with a delivery delay (we show how long when the dealer says).
- The dealer ships it.
- Its price was checked in the last 3 hours.
- It's priced on the payment method you picked above.
Out-of-stock offers, and offers without stock information, are listed last and never marked lowest. Every other offer shows how much more it costs than the lowest, or why it can't be compared: a different payment method, over the card limit, pickup only, or only one dealer.

Common questions
How much is a 1/4 oz Gold Maple Leaf worth today?
Its melt value is $1,384.79, based on 0.25 troy ounces of fine gold at the spot price behind the dealer prices. Paying by bank (e-Transfer or wire), the lowest current in-stock price from a dealer that ships is $1,524.13 at CanAm Bullion, 10.1% over melt, before shipping.
Do you pay GST or HST on a 1/4 oz Gold Maple Leaf in Canada?
No. Gold bars, ingots, coins and wafers that are at least 99.5% pure count as investment-grade precious metal and are exempt from GST/HST. The 1/4 oz Gold Maple Leaf is 99.99% pure, so it qualifies.
Why do dealers charge more than the spot price?
The premium covers minting or refining, distribution, the dealer's margin and payment costs. Coins usually carry higher premiums than bars of the same weight, and smaller sizes carry higher premiums per ounce.
How is the premium calculated?
Premium = dealer price minus melt value. Melt value = fine weight (0.25 oz t) times the current spot price in CAD. The percentage is the premium divided by the melt value.
