Quick answers
How much is a Gold Maple Leaf worth?
Its melt value is the pure gold it contains (1 troy ounce) times the live gold spot price, shown at the top of this page. Buying it costs more than melt, and selling it back typically returns 95% to 99% of melt for well-known bullion.
What premium over spot do dealers charge for a Gold Maple Leaf?
Lustre saw dealers charging about 2% to 5% over melt for one item on 2026-10-28 (single-item prices paid by check or wire, from SD Bullion and Kitco). Premiums change with demand and supply, and are higher for small orders and card payments.
Is a Gold Maple Leaf priced by the ounce?
Yes. The price follows the gold spot price, plus a premium. The premium pays for making, shipping and the dealer's costs.
