Collector coins are the finest examples of the art of minting, produced to the very highest standard.
These exceptional coins may be produced in gold, silver, platinum or in any of the variety of alloys used for ordinary circulating coinage.
A proof coin will usually have a polished, mirror-like background and a contrasting frosted relief, while an uncirculated coin will have a brilliant polish and high quality finish without the frosting.
The packaging enhances the beauty of these coins. Specially-made wooden or leather-covered cases are often used to house precious metal coins.
