Free Bullion Investment Guide
Thanks You for Visiting!

My name is Steven Warrenfeltz, and I created the this guide for those who are looking for honest information about investing in precious metals bullion.

The other side of this guide is my way of fulfilling a promise to a childhood friend who died of cancer.

That promise was to do whatever I could to support those who are Battling Cancer (researchers/patients), and in doing so, try to help rid the world of this horrible disease.

The guide is my effort to make a bigger impact against the disease by combining what I love, 'investing,' while fulfilling a promise.

The Free Bullion Investment Guide has three missions:

The 1st mission is to be an Honest place on the web that provides you with the Best Bullion Market Reference Material.

The 2nd mission is to be an Advocate for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research.

The 3rd mission is to Support those who are Battling Cancer through The Angel of Healing Cancer Fund.

Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf

In 2013, the Royal Canadian Mint added a security feature to the 1oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin's reverse side.

In 2014, the RCM started to add this feature to the reverse side of the 1oz. Canadian Silver Maple Leaf bullion coin.

The RCM's security mark is a Micro-Engraved Maple Leaf design produced by the Mint’s use of laser technology.

Inside of the laser engraved maple leaf is the numeral “17” indicating the coin’s year of issue, which is more easily visible under magnification.
