  • Why should I consider Buying Rare Coins and Precious Metals from your Company?

    First, is our philosophy of appealing to repeat customers. When our collector and investor customers compare our quality and prices, we are confident that we will continue to do business in the future.


    Experience. We have sold over $100,000,000 worth of coins and precious metals. We can differentiate between top quality and less than, and we regularly advise and present to our customers, what their best choices are.


    Margins. We have a low overhead compared to most Rare Coin and Precious Metal firms and work on the smallest of margins. The total difference between our buy and sell prices on a given gold coin may be as little as less than 3%.


    Quality. Because of our large network of sources and product knowledge, we know what you should have in your collection or investment portfolio when it is time for you to consider selling in the future. Quality always sells and most easily finds the best markets.

  • Am I better off investing in Gold Coins or Bars?

    The better question is, should I buy gold bullion or gold coins with some numismatic, collector premium. Gold coins such as the US Gold Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Krugerrand, etc., are minted by governments specifically for people who want to buy gold bullion at a low premium for gold investment. Because of this, there isn’t much difference between these “bullion” coins and gold bars. Numismatic coins, including $20 gold coins minted prior to 1933, are sometimes a good choice when market opportunities allow for coins with a good premium potential to be purchased for a low premium currently.

  • Should I buy Gold or Silver?
