Types of Precious Metals & Products

• Coins: Legal‑tender pieces issued by a government mint, typically with a face value and widely recognized designs (e.g., American Eagles). 
• Rounds: Coin‑shaped bullion pieces produced by private mints; not legal tender, but often cheaper per ounce than coins.
• Bars: Rectangular pieces from government or private refiners, often offering the lowest premiums per ounce in larger sizes.

AGE can help you decide which format makes sense for your goals and budget.

Some items are newly minted and may come in original mint packaging, while others are secondary‑market products that are still fully authentic and investment‑grade. If you prefer new items, sealed tubes, or specific packaging, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

We source our products from reputable mints, refiners, and wholesalers and use standard industry practices to verify authenticity. If you ever have questions about a product you receive, contact us and we will work with you to address your concerns.

Yes. AGE focuses on investment‑grade bullion but can also supply a range of collectible and numismatic coins for clients who want exposure to rarity and collector markets. We will clearly explain when a coin is being sold for its collectible value rather than primarily for its bullion content.

Numismatic coin values depend heavily on condition; professionally graded coins are evaluated on a standardized scale and encapsulated in protective holders. Higher grades often command higher prices, and AGE can help you understand the basics of grading so you are comfortable with what you are buying.

Yes. Coins, rounds, and bars each have pros and cons when it comes to recognition, premiums, storage, and resale. We can walk you through those differences in plain language and recommend options that fit your goals.
