Buying bullion from Coins Online

Choosing the right format should feel simple. We organize categories so you can compare widely recognized options side by side.

Silver bullion

Platinum bullion

Each product page explains metal content, purity, and design in plain language. When a bar includes a mint issued assay card, we confirm the serial number and make that clear in the gallery or description.

Selling bullion to Coins Online

If you plan to sell coins or bars, we can help you prepare with simple steps. Organize items by metal and weight, keep any assay cards with their matching bars, and bring any purchase receipts or prior grading notes. We review weight and dimensions on site and offer straight answers in clear language. Reach out if you would like a short checklist before you visit.

How verification and authenticity checks work

We use a careful mix of tool based testing and visual review.

  • Precision scales confirm weight
  • Calipers confirm diameter and thickness
  • A loupe helps us review rims, fields, and mint marks
  • Packaging and paperwork are matched to the item
  • Assay serials are confirmed when present

Pricing, spot, and premiums explained

A premium is the amount above the market spot price that reflects minting, distribution, and demand. Premiums can differ by format and by mint. Recognized sovereign coins often carry different premiums than private mint bars. When you understand premiums, it becomes easier to choose the format that fits your plan without confusion.

Payment, shipping, and delivery

We support secure checkout and share tracking once a carrier scans your package. Orders are packed to protect finish and detail and ship in plain boxes with insured delivery. If anything looks off on arrival, contact us right away so we can review and resolve.

Storage and simple documentation

Good storage protects surfaces and makes record keeping easy. Capsules and tubes help prevent friction. A short list that notes item, weight, mint, and serial can save time later for you or for a family member. If you would like a simple template, our team can share one.

IRA eligible options

Some coins and bars meet IRA eligibility standards for precious metals accounts. If you are exploring a custodial route, start with our overview and then speak with your preferred custodian.

Frequently asked questions

What should I know before buying bullion

Start with widely recognized formats. One ounce sovereign coins and well known mint bars are easy to understand, store, and pass along. Compare product pages for purity, design, and premium.

How do you verify authenticity before listing

We confirm weight and dimensions, review surfaces under magnification, and match any packaging or paperwork. When present, assay serials are checked and noted.

Why do premiums change during the year

Premiums reflect minting and distribution costs and also current demand. Seasonal interest, mint releases, and supply conditions can affect them.

Can you help me choose between coins and bars

Yes. Coins often carry strong recognition and detailed designs. Bars offer compact storage and clear documentation when paired with assay. The best fit depends on how you plan to organize your collection.

Do you ship to my address with insurance

Yes. We ship discreetly with tracking and insured delivery. You will receive a shipping notice once the carrier scans your package.
