There are three types of precious metal coins: numismatic, bullion and semi-numismatic coins. Numismatic coins typically have a greater value than stated on its face, and often carry higher premiums. Bullion coins are not designed to be used in regular circulation. They have low premiums and are specifically created for those who want to invest money in precious metals. Lastly, semi-numismatic coins are a mixture of both numismatic and bullion coins. Although they are rated based on their precious metal content, their price is often inflated due to speculation factors such as spot price and demand. A coin’s value as a collector’s item or an investment depends on additional factors such as its condition, historical significance, rarity, quality, design and general popularity with collectors. If a coin is lacking in these factors, it is unlikely that it will be worth much. However, if you are in possession of coins in Toronto that fall under these categories, bring them in to find their true value. Both gold and silver coins are great investments as they are one of the few commodities that can be physically stored and whose value is preserved or increased over time. Purchasing coins in Toronto is one of the easiest ways to invest in precious metals.
