Description   This is an especially collectible, commemorative issue, standing apart from the ordinary. . . Check my Seller Feedback!  I have been on e-Bay more than ten years -- since June of 1998.  Buyers are satisfied with gold coins I have sold! Please excuse this indoor, under-exposed photo, which makes the coin look dark rather than bright gold.  It is clean, bright gold like the others.  No scratches, dents, or discolorations. A one-ounce pure gold Maple Leaf with 1999 date.  That was the 20th year of issue, distinctively  more collectible than other years.  As the photo shows, there is a unique 20-year logo on the leaf side. Also, the only true "nine-eleven" coin!  No other coin ever minted has the numeral nine appearing exactly eleven times!  An interesting coincidence that helps us remember a terrible tragedy. Touched only once, when taken from the Canadian mint tube to put into protective plastic.  Perfect condition.  .9999 pure means less than one part in ten thousand is silver or copper. Economic note:  For more than 25 years, one ounce of gold would buy between 14 and 15 barrels of crude oil.  If this relationship continues, either oil must come down or gold must go up to about $1,800 - $2,000 per ounce.  Do you really believe oil will drop much from $135+ per barrel?  Or do you believe that once the current price of oil stablilizes and is realized not to be temporary, it is gold that MUST adjust? TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Payment within seven days by either a Bank Cashier's check, U.S. Postal Money order or PayPal E-check.  PAYPAL E-CHECK STRONGLY PREFERRED!  No private (Like Wall-Mart or similar) money orders -- U.S. Postal only.  High gas prices make other kinds too difficult for me to cash.  If buyer is not familiar with E-check, I will help with a step-by-step explanation.  You will find E-check under Paypal's "Other Payment Options." It is a bank-to-bank transfer method of payment far less costly than "instant payment."  Would you pay thirty dollars for a money order?  that is what "instant payment" can cost a seller, IN ADDITION to e-Bay selling fees! E-CHECK PAYMENT WITHIN 24 HOURS WILL MEAN FREE INSURED SHIPPING! Of course no return unless not as represented (gold price is volatile now). Shipping is always as prompt as possible, as feedback shows, by fully insured Registered First Class Mail -- the most safe and certain shipping method for small, valuable items.  Overnight shipping if buyer pays the extra cost. If you pay the listed "buy-it-now" price, I will include a free, "AIRTITE" coin holder specifically designed for the one-ounce maple leaf.  These are the finest available, showing both sides of the coin through crystal-clear acrylic, and hard to come by unless bought in quantity.     Place a Bid!
