Collectible Coins

Coin collecting is one of the oldest and most fascinating hobbies in the world. People are drawn to coins for their history, cultural significance, and beautiful designs. Many also appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each piece or, in some cases, the value and rarity of the coin. And some collect coins because it's a cherished family tradition that's been shared and passed down through the generations.

The Bradford Exchange Mint, a division of The Bradford Exchange, offers an exceptional coin collecting opportunity to coin collectors because the experience adds an emotional component - each piece connects collectors to history, landmark milestones and personal passions - whether it's sports, patriotism, military service or Disney.

Authenticity matters to collectors. That's why many coins we have available are produced by the U.S. Mint and presented in exclusive presentations. Other collectible Proof coins and challenge coins are officially licensed and showcase a wide spectrum of well-known and beloved themes. Many of our collectible coins also include a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its legitimacy and quality.

Quality and material are common considerations when collecting. Our coins often feature pure silver - frequently .999 fine - as well as editions crafted with solid gold, gold plating or platinum plating. Because the particular precious metals used are clearly specified for each design, collectors can trust the beauty, substance, and long-term collectible value of these coins.

While some may not think of coins as traditional gifts, they can be incredibly meaningful. They're perfect for marking major life milestones such as graduations, retirements, or anniversaries. They can also celebrate someone's personal interests like sports, military pride and beloved pop culture characters or stories.

When the coins are limited editions and they include Certificates of Authenticity, it makes the gift recipients feel even more special. In fact, coin gifts have a quality that can transcend generations, as they are keepsakes that can be passed down and appreciated for years.

Proper coin care helps preserve both condition and value. For best results, keep coins in protective capsules or holders (included with most of our coins), store them in a cool, dry place, and avoid direct sunlight. Handling them with gloves is recommended to protect surfaces.

When it comes to display, many collectors use cases, frames, or albums - and The Bradford Exchange often includes presentation cases with select editions. With the right care and display, these coins can remain beautiful heirlooms for generations.
