This was my first 1oz Gold Maple. I bought it because of the 40th anniversary and the limited mintage of only 15,000 coins. I sent it off to PCGS for grading and it came back MS69. I was kind of upset, but that's ok it's still a cool coin.

Looking further into it there were only 3 graded at MS69, mine included, and none higher. So I thought to myself "Well it may not be too bad of a grade after all." Since then PCGS has graded 10 more MS69 and only 3 at MS70.

I posted this up for sale shortly after I got it back from grading. I figured the limited mintage and the fact there were very few graded it would sell for a little bit more of a premium. It didn't. I held onto this coin for a few months, randomly posting it for sale with no takers. It wasn't until gold spiked that someone bought it, and for more than I wanted for it in the first place.

It's funny how sometimes FOMO can get folks to open their checkbooks.
