Platinum is less common than gold in modern numismatics, yet exceptionally appealing. On our platinum page, you will find a constantly changing selection of pieces that we have previously owned or currently have in stock – from select proof issues to certified rarities. This allows you to fill gaps in discerning collections and add unique pieces that are not commonly found elsewhere.
Why Platinum is so compelling for collectors
Platinum coins are usually issued in smaller mintages, which is why good years and proof versions tend to sell out more quickly. Furthermore, fine details appear particularly clear on platinum, creating a strong contrast between mirrored and matte surfaces. This results in the high-quality appearance that collectors appreciate. Finally, the variety of themes is remarkable, allowing you to expand your collection specifically according to motifs, years, or mints.
Typical lines that appear in our work
We carry and have always carried selected platinum coins from important mints, including, for example:
-
Royal Canadian Mint – Maple Leaf Proofs and Special Issues
-
United States Mint – American Eagle Platinum Proofs of selected years
-
Royal Mint – Britannia variants in platinum
-
The Perth Mint – limited edition themed platinum proofs
-
South African Mint – selected modern series with a collector’s focus
Please note: Our selection is constantly changing. Therefore, it’s worth checking the Platinum category regularly.
Certification and condition
Many of our pieces are certified by PCGS or NGC . This provides you with transparency, international comparability, and clear documentation of the condition. Upon request, we will also provide the certification numbers and links to online verification. This makes the provenance traceable and facilitates market classification. Top-quality pop notes are rare, which is why such highlights are correspondingly sought after.
Pricing – what matters
The price of numismatic platinum coins is not solely determined by the spot price. Other factors are also crucial:
-
Print run and actual market availability
-
Maintenance and certification level
-
Theme, series and year
-
Label variations and special provenance
Thus, the attractiveness depends not only on the value of the metal, but above all on the collector relevance of the specific piece.
Storage and care
Store platinum coins in undamaged capsules, in a dry place, and protected from light. This will prevent unnecessary contact between the surfaces. We also recommend keeping a brief inventory record including the year, face value, and certification details. This will ensure the long-term traceability of your collection.

FAQ about platinum coins
Are platinum bullion and platinum proof equally suitable for collectors?
Not quite. Bullion coins primarily serve as metal investments, while proof issues are collector-oriented, often minted at a lower level, and aesthetically elaborate. Therefore, certified proof coins often fetch higher collector prices.
How important is certification for platinum coins?
Very important. PCGS or NGC grades create trust, therefore certified pieces are easier to compare and sell internationally.
Are platinum coins harder to find than gold coins?
Often, yes. Many platinum series are released more rarely, which is why attractive vintages disappear more quickly. Therefore, it’s worth taking a quick look as soon as suitable new additions are listed.
