2020-W 1 oz Canada $5 Burnished Silver Maple Leaf — NGC MS70 FDI | Susan Taylor Hand Signed
A rare and highly collectible issue from the Royal Canadian Mint, this 2020-W 1 oz Canada $5 Burnished Silver Maple Leaf is graded a perfect MS70 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) with the First Day of Issue (FDI) designation, and is personally hand signed by Susan Taylor, Chief Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint. The W privy mark on this coin denotes its special issue status, distinguishing it from the standard annual Silver Maple Leaf bullion release.
The Burnished finish — produced using specially prepared planchets for a distinctive matte-like surface quality — sets this coin apart from both standard bullion strikes and traditional proof issues, offering collectors a unique and visually striking alternative within the Silver Maple Leaf series. In MS70, this coin represents an absolutely flawless example with full mint brilliance and zero post-production imperfections — the highest possible grade.
Struck in 99.99% pure silver, the Silver Maple Leaf is one of the purest government-issued silver coins in the world, featuring the iconic maple leaf reverse design that has made this series a global collector and investor favorite since 1988.
