Hey Silvertards- I gots a question about Maples vs Eagles

IMHO, no.

My Maples usually go a little higher than Eagles, but it is primarily due to the interest level in maples, they are not sold on secondary market as often as eagles, sooo

scarcity...

Ok so far seems like it is either a good move or doesn’t matter. I was curious if US tender held more esteem despite the lower content albeit nominal.

stick with the eagles. They sell good in Europe too.

Not except to a handful of buyers with a fetish about .0001% purity. Ask your self this one question-

Who in the flying fuck is ever going to melt these down so why does it matter??

I'm a fan of golden state mint and silver shield. Great designs...low premiums. At some point...an ounce is an ounce is an ounce.


Holding for value protection...if it goes to the moon...awesome...but...

Eagles are only .999 %

Maples are .9999 %

Maples = moar silver!

American coins are always more wanted.

Proof, eagles are selling at a higher price on ebay.

I think the poster of this thread initiated the thread due to a lack of understanding.


gotta be dumb first to be smart later

If you plan to ever use it for colloidal silver (you should!), go for the maples which are .9999.

Hold both like I do.

Eagles have a more global reach/acceptance of value

Maples have better purity and slight increase in silver content making them valuable for melt/use

Why pick?

Silver Maples are exempt from capital gains tax in Canada.

Silver Britannia are exempt from capital gains tax in Britain.

Silver Eagles are taxed at 28% by the IRS in the 'land of the free'.

As far as you are concerned, a maple would be just as good as an eagle but an eagle *might* have slightly more attachment and therefore easier to sell to other people in your country.

Better bang for the buck with generic bars.

Paying 37$ for either, seems stupid when the spot is 28$

Supplier laughs all the way to bank.

WRONG. Both contain one T.oz. of silver, the Eagles just have a smidgeon more impurity in them.

Get a custom stamp and melt your own....

They BOTH have exactly 1 oz. of silver. Eagles have a tad more other metal to make the silver more resistant to wear and tear.

I was cleaning up my workshop the other day, and I found a piece of my history of exploring "the art of making colloidal silver." It is five 1988 Canadian Silver Maple leaf coins. I got these as soon as they came out to have a source of silver, of which I could be sure. The 12gauge silver wire that I had them linked with is 999 from a reputable company, but with no knowledge of the impurities. I continued to be frustrated in my experiments to control particle size while attaining high levels of ionic content.
As you can see from the picture, the silver oxide buildup on the Maple leaf coins was very heavy and required wire brushing to clean it off. The reason for the corrosion was the numerous indentations on the coins themselves. These indentations formed walls spaced so closely together that ions were not allowed to entirely escape the Maple leaves without combining and forming particles of silver oxide, which would then attach themselves to the surface. When I would grind the silver oxide off with a wire wheel, the scratches formed, and the same phenomenon would repeat itself.
The "Nernst diffusion area causes this difficulty." It describes the limits for how many ions can escape from a given surface area, even a completely smooth area. The indentations on the coins form walls, the distance between them less than the diffusion area.
So for those of you who are using Canadian silver Maple leaf coins, I can assure you that I agree with your reasoning completely. When it comes to what I'm going to put into my body, I'm not a "trusting" person. If I did not have a source of silver wire that I was certain of, I would still be using Maple leafs myself.
Using silver from your local jeweler for making colloidal silver may not be a good idea. How do you know it is 9999? I would hesitate to buy my silver from anyone who has many different types of silver around. When you have a lot of silver types around, it is too easy to make a mistake. A mistake could have serious health consequences. We all take chances in life because we have to, but certified sources of 9999 silver from people who sell nothing else is available. The cost of silver in question amounts to only pennies per gallon of colloidal silver produced. That is especially true when you follow the excellent advice about limiting the current to make the smallest possible particle size. Remember, we are talking here in parts per million, so 1 ounce of silver will produce at 10 PPM, 100,000 ounces of colloidal silver 100,000 ounces is 1564 gallons of colloidal silver. If you are buying a generator from someone, you should inquire about the length and the gauge of a wire supply. For 10gauge wire, 20 inches equals 1 ounce. For 12gauge, 36 inches equals 1 ounce. If they don’t tell you how much silver wire they supply with the generator, you might think twice about buying. Anything smaller than 12gauge is not worth using as the surface area will quickly become too small.

You would have to be buying it by the multiple tonne for it to make any meaningful difference.

possibly.

you can verify authenticity of a coin using a
tone app. each coin has resonant frequencies
that your phone can verify. I don't buy Gold
Maples specifically because they're too soft
to ring true consistently. They are the only
gold coin I have trouble verifying.

it's possible same may hold true for silver.

.

it's not impurity.

it's stiffener to reduce wear over time

.

Silver content is equal, purity % is accounted for it all that.

As for purity, the extra 9 at that point is mostly meaningless.

For demand factors: Well, in terms of modern pricing differences that would all fall under "numismatics". Collectors and whatnot who care about the coin for being a coin, rather than the silver content. Honestly, I consider that whole category a farce anyways.

There is the issue of verifiability. Ways of testing aside, the main thing big national mint coinage has going for it is the legal threat behind them: Making a fake Eagle or Maple carries some very hefty penalties and possibly some very well funded and underutilized agency policing it if they get wind of someone doing it. This is 10x an issue with Britannias, specifically because of Newton. Do not fuck with the royal mint. I'm not sure if they still cut your hands off for it...

Speaking of Britannias and the Royal mint, if you want silver ounces that are easily verifiable, Britannias from the past two years are the way to go. They have a ton of really cool anti-counterfeiting measures on them. Premium wise they tend to be cheaper that Eagles anyways when dealing with wholesellers.

When you consider the healing aspect of silver (colloidal silver) you go for the highest silver-content, so Maples.

two differences of the coins.

maples 9999
eagles 999

maples have cunt queen on coin.
eagles do not( in god we trust)

that's the difference.

so, it makes sense that eagles are more popular...

a troy oz is a troy oz..people tend to trust eagles and maples more than generic rounds and bars.

Canadian mint produces highest purity in the whole world
999.99999 gold for example

An ounce of silver is an ounce of silver.
Buy coins minted in the country in which you live.

Silver eagles are 99.9 % pure
Canadian Maple leafs
999.9
