Are gold coins (like the Candian gold maple leaf) purchased from a bank
'cashable' at (the bank) at a later date?  What I mean to ask is can
these coins be 'sold back' to the bank at a later date if and when
their value appreciates and I want cash for them.  Or are they regarded
as just jewelery and have to be sold else where?

Are some gold coins of equal gold content worth more than others over
time?

Thanks

The bank has little or nothing to do with gold bullion (such as Eagles,
Maples or K-rands).  You want to buy them for as close to spot as you can
(usually NOT at a bank).  When it comes time to sell them, check with your
local coin shops and see what they buy them for that day.  If you are
dealing in quantities of about 15 oz or more, you can get a pretty deal from
places like www.tulving.com  , for smaller quantities, check with your local
coin shops.  The bigger the city you live (or shop) in, the better the price
(usually).

Also don't be afraid to ask the local shops if they have any specials.
Sometimes we buy a bunch of one type and want to turn it quick so we lower
the price.  Keep in mind that the spread on metals is pretty thin, so don't
expect to see a ton of difference between dealers.

At the moment we have quite a few 100 Corona Austrian gold coins that we're
selling at spot.
