Partnership with PCGS
APMEX and PCGS have joined forces to bring the MintDirect® Premier program the PCGS FirstStrike® seal of approval. These 2026 MintDirect® Premier Silver Maples, graded in their original sealed packaging, meet PCGS criteria for FirstStrike® eligibility.

After coins are removed from mint tubes, APMEX seals them with tamper-evident packaging using a specialized machine. Each tube is then inspected to ensure packaging meets strict quality standards. The result: a MintDirect® Premier + PCGS FirstStrike® 2026 Silver Maple Leaf in pristine condition.

Silver Maple Leaf Series
For over 30 years, Silver Maple Leaf coins have featured .9999 fine silver and the iconic Canadian maple leaf design. Introduced in 1988, the series has included commemorative variations, yet the classic maple leaf remains the central motif. The maple leaf is also used as a privy mark across multiple Royal Canadian Mint programs.

Royal Canadian Mint Security Features
Since 2015, the Royal Canadian Mint’s Bullion DNA™ program has offered the highest level of security for bullion coins. Each coin includes a textured, micro-engraved maple leaf privy mark visible under magnification, with year-of-issue digits encoded and recorded for future verification. Every Silver Maple Leaf dated 2018 and later also includes MINTSHIELD™ Surface Protection, the only proven method to reduce white spots or milk spots.

Condition Note: MintDirect® packaging does not prevent natural spotting or tarnishing that can occur on chemically active metals such as silver, gold, or platinum.
