Bullion coins are very valuable for several reasons. They are few and far between and may come from ancient eras. Bullion coins are also known to be found in shipwrecks, making them extremely valuable. Many collectors spend years searching for these valuable coins. If you are looking to buy or sell coins, particularly bullion coins, you may want to enlist the help of your Michigan coin dealer.

The most well known type of bullion coin is the silver bullion coin. This coin sells very well and is considered to be one of the most valuable coins in the world. In particular, the silver ingot, which was found in the Spanish wreck Atocha, is extremely valuable. Other silver ingot coins have been found in mining areas of Colorado, presumably hidden there by miners years ago. Silver Maple Leaf coins that are officially sealed are very desirable to collectors. Originally minted by the Royal Canadian mint, they are as popular as the US Silver Eagle coins. While silver bullion coins are extremely popular, gold bullion coins are even more preferred. Some of the most famous gold bullion coins include the Krugerrand coins of South Africa. Other special interest gold bullion coins include the European Gold Crowns, Canadian Maple Leaf coins and US American Eagle gold coins.

While there are other examples around the globe, these are the most popular among collectors. Around the Internet, the most seen coins include the 10-ounce Swiss gold bar, the American Eagle proof set and the China Panda gold set. One lesser known type of bullion coin that can be found online is the Platinum bullion coin. While the demand for the platinum bullion coin is not as high as it is for the gold and silver bullion coins, they are extremely valuable. Examples of platinum bullion coins include the Statue of Liberty coin (France), American Eagle coins and Koala proofs (Australia). Other platinum bullion examples include the Johnson Matthew Year of the Dragon coins, which were salvaged from the vault of the collapsed World Trade Center building.

It can be rather expensive to invest in bullion coins as a collector. If you are interested in learning more about how to buy and sell coins or bullion, contact your Michigan coin dealer for more information.
