Buyer’s guide – how to structure your ship portfolio

1. Define motif clusters
   First, decide whether you prefer explorer ships, maritime symbols of state, wrecks and legends, or modern sailing vessels. This will create a clear collecting theme that can be easily linked internally and will also simplify your search for suitable pieces.

2. Prioritize quality and certification
   Prefer graded specimens such as NGC PF69 to PF70 and NGC MS68 to MS69. These grades are visually appealing and also improve traceability. This allows for better comparison and long-term documentation of values.

3. Pay attention to the editions and year of publication.
   Limited proof editions and ongoing series like Nautical Ounce offer predictable growth. This creates a consistent story that you can continue to develop over several years without losing sight of the overall narrative.

4. To round off sets effectively
   The Cuban Columbus Trilogy is ideal for building a mini-set with a consistent theme. This keeps your portfolio cohesive and easy to present, making the series particularly suitable for an attractively curated display case.

Documentation and traceability in practice

• Maintain an inventory list
  Note down the quantity, year, face value, weight, certification, and certificate number. This will allow you to maintain an overview at all times and provide reliable proof of value later.

• Create photo documentation
  Photograph the front and back of the packaging, as well as the slab label with the certificate number, clearly and legibly. Furthermore, a consistent visual style is recommended to ensure the collection has a cohesive look.

• Keep receipts safe.
  Certificates of Assessment, invoices, and shipping documents should be stored both physically and digitally. This ensures the preservation of the history and facilitates future sales.

• Maintain internal references
  Link to thematically relevant blog articles for more context, for example about Columbus and his ships. This creates depth and provides orientation at the same time.

FAQs about gold coins with ship motifs

Are the Nautical Ounce gold editions strictly limited?

What certification levels are typical for maritime motifs?
You will often find NGC PF69 to PF70 grades for proofs and NGC MS68 to MS69 grades for uncirculated specimens. These grades ensure quality and good comparability, making them suitable for long-term, documented collections.

Is the Columbus trilogy suitable as a mini set?
Yes, Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria form a coherent thematic set and can therefore be combined very well. This gives your collection greater consistency while simultaneously creating a clear narrative.
