Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Numismatic arts principally refers to the art and knowledge of the material embodiment of coins and other currency methods, and embraces 

the research into the making and use of the coins to check their rarity.

A numismatic coin is a coin whose value depends more on its date, condition, rarity value, connection to history, aesthetic attraction and mint mark of the coin, rather than just its face value. Rare or ancient coins can trade for values far in excess of the value of the metal from which they are made, ands will vary dependent on their condition.

Mintage is simply the number of a specific coin that have been produced by a mint. Generally speaking, the lower the number minted, the higher its value, due to its rarity.

Bullion coins are produced from precious metals – usually gold, silver or platinum – and are typically sold to investors. Even though bullion coins have a denomination and are legal tender in the country from which they were minted, their value is determined by the spot price of their metal content on the world market, rather than stated value.
