Honestly I think the maple is much more desirable than ASE imo

[@maxf7351]

Yup

[@maxf7351]

Better quality, purer silver- more security measures. Eagles go to be melted and it's embarrassing

[@SilverGoldStackAttack]

Maples all the way, until premiums come down in the Eagles. Since 2018 and the implementation of MintShield, the spotting on the Maples occurs much less. Liquidity is almost on par with Eagles, too.

[@lockheedload]

I only stack Maples

[@DS-tt9vz]

Both are premium coins with high recognition and liquidity. As a bullion coin I prefer the Maple with mint shield and lower premiums. I feel the Maples security feature are ahead of the ASE.

[@jualsurlist486]

I'm a American however enjoy collection Canada maple leaf as my prefer silver ♥️🩷

[@michaelwebb325]

Maple leaf is a beautiful coin. Stack em up

[@apmex]

The radial lines are really nice, even better in person.

[@SilverGoblin]

I will always go for Maple leafs. It is way better looking, and purity ,9999 Better Security Features. Thats a No Brainer if you ask me

[@jpdurr]

That Missing Reed is one of the Lamest "Security Features" ever purported. US Mint FAIL

[@MrThe1234guy]

How exactly is a missing Reed feature a security feature what a joke from the US mint. Not exactly something hard to replicate. They are falling far behind other mints and fast

[@AnxiousStacker]

Yeah until the Eagles bump up their quality, get a real security feature and lower their price I'll only be getting a few eagles each year to keep the years consecutive in my collection, but other than that I certainly won't be stacking them. I also prefer the type 1 design WAY more and think the type 2 just looks cheap now with the clipped wing. Same goes for the gold eagles where I definitely prefer the type 1 design. The maples are more beautiful and lower premiums so I'll get those all day over the other. It's just a shame because I'd love to primarily stack my countries coin, the eagle.

[@SupergiantgeckosLLC]

Maples, because when shtf they be worth $5 vs $1 eagles.

[@randynovakowski7718]

Being from Canada, I like the Maple better, sorry…

[@eazye519]

Eagles are way too expensive

[@petergeddesrensen6567]

Both are good. The more the merrier.

[@apmex]

We feel the same way!

[@GigachadAKM]

Personally I am a fan of Maples and Krugs

[@silvercommander]

Krugerrand are my absolute favorite

[@brucecampbell9412]

First. Love APMEX and I would say buy what has the least premium.

[@mykittenisagrandmaster4381]

Right now maple leaf coins

[@williamgill4898]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@apmex]

You are welcome!

[@SilverNova111]

The ASE it one of my favorites , i like type 1 better but 2 isn't bad. Unfortunately the ASE has become as volatile as a crypto coin with a wide spread . Perth mint coins has taken the lead due to it at least until the ASE comes back to fair pricing. Great Video!

[@davidortiz3094]

Not even a competition. Maples are superior in every way.

[@glenh4971]

I think we should pay the high premiums for the Eagles. After all, that is money you will lose when you sell the bullion. That makes it a better investment right?

[@KevinSorbo.]

It is when you realize you can sell ASE without a 1099-B form like any other silver rounds or coins... In the end you pay less for the ASE easily with taxes in mind

[@brian5975]

Eagles are way way overpriced……. Maples until premiums come down.

[@michaelhowell2541]

Made the switch years ago. Happy I did!😂👍🇺🇸

[@genesisg7022]

My Favorite is the American Silver Eagle. Because of the high premiums, I have reduced the amount of ASE'S that I have purchased. Instead I have found other One Ounce Silver Coins to purchase for my wealth maintenance stack. My number one ASE'S replacement coin is the Kangaroos, followed by the Maple 🍁 Leaf, and Krugerrand's. I have already purchased a tube of 2023 ASE'S. If I can find a good deal for 2023 year, I will purchase more. Because of the higher premiums, I have spent more on ten oz Silver bars. I also have found pretty good specials on purchasing twenty Oz tubes of Government issued one oz Silver coins. Doesn't matter which country or the design.

[@yodude8932]

Maples.....less premiums

[@unenslaver]

Jolly good show mate

[@SoloFan87]

Why not both. Just started stacking. Mostly going for Buffalo Rounds for weight. However every 4 Buffalo Rounds I stack, I add either A Eagle,Maple or both to the mix. Love adding both the Eagle and Maple with my Buffalo Rounds.

[@silvercommander]

Both. But maples 🍁 are nicer.

[@wheelzwheela]

Maples at the moment are better. 100% due to ASE premiums are out of this stratosphere.

[@apmex]

This would be an amazing question to ask APMEX at our knowledge center learn.apmex.com/?_gl=1%2Acnt6iw%2A_ga%2AMTAyMjMwODUzMi4xNjYzMTgwNTQ4%2A_ga_GWTKPJMFTZ%2AMTY3NzA4MjA1NC4xODUuMS4xNjc3MDg1MzgzLjYwLjAuMA..

[@kertbert1]

I have maples and some krugerrands. Maples #1 for me as the premium is far less.

[@themoose5419]

Is it better not to open a tube of silver eagles and maples

[@autumnfall1511]

Maples 🍁💯

[@Ronnie2787]

Watching this as i shuffle some cull maples in my hand. 🤤

[@travisjacobson7126]

Is there a difference between 999 and 9999 in regards to either being more prone to milk spotting/toning? Is one more durable than the other?

[@SilasMarnerAuAg]

just a gimmick to me. one more pass through the refining process. there aren’t that many uses which require 9999. example is colloidal silver. i do buy it as i like rcm and perth mint products but it doesn’t make that much of a difference to me

[@apmex]

Good question! Submit it at the bottom of this page and we will provide an answer! learn.apmex.com/answers/

[@MrThe1234guy]

Canada uses mint shield technology to prevent the milk spotting. Their old coins were notorious and that is why they did this after so many complaints. The United States or any other ment does not use this technology

[@reidloscidem3562]

I'm gonna stay away from ASEs for a long time. For coins, there are so many other ones that are higher quality and have superior security measurements to combat counterfeits. For bulk purchases, rounds is where it's at. The amount you get for the same purchasing price for ASEs is ridiculous.

[@mfrfpv9079]

$1.30 over at Costco pretty shure you guys supply them

[@DeweyMilton]

I have the answer by the cheapest one you can buy you try to sell it they going to pay you spot Eagles maybe $2 over spot

[@josephsettle8558]

There is NO COMPETITION...The Maple Leaf, is. FAR SUPERIOR to the Eagle!!

[@jisa98]

Maples are better, period.

[@hagbard72]

Britannias. Maples next. Philharmonics after that. Eagles last. When King Chuck is added to the Maple, I won't even buy. Hopefully the govt will drop the monarchy from coins (and everything else) and put something else on the back (not politicians).

[@DanCooper404]

Mooses

[@tinsley999]

Canada has the Canadian monarch, not British, on the obverse. There's a difference--same person but different offices. Non-Commonwealth countries will probably not understand--heck even a lot of Canadians don't understand!

[@silvercommander]

Type 1 eagles look better
