Coins and bullion pack a lot of value into a very small parcel, which makes them a target for theft. Getting them to a buyer safely starts with plain packing and a scan at every pick. Where the stock is stored, who covers it, and the signature level all need settling before the first coin arrives.
Coins and bullion fulfillment is the warehouse work behind selling coins and bullion: taking the stock in, holding it, and getting each order safely to the buyer. We pack every order in plain, tamper-evident, cushioned packaging, and orders ship from whichever of our warehouses you stock nearest your customer.

Every collectible has to reach the buyer in the condition it left in. Coins and bullion add a second worry, which is how much value fits in a small space. A parcel that slips into a pocket can be worth as much as a car. From the shelf it sits on to the person it is delivered to, every step is a security matter as much as a packing one.
Three things matter most: how the coins are stored, how the exact coin is picked, and how the parcel travels without showing what's inside or going out uninsured.
The work falls into five parts, from the dock to the carrier.
Every coin is counted and scanned in at our dock. From then on, each time a coin changes hands inside our building it is matched to the record, up to the moment the carrier takes the parcel. The rest of the handling builds on those scans.
Bullion is a target for theft, so where it sits is a security decision as well as a question of shelf space. Ask any provider which access and monitoring measures run at the building that would hold your lots, and how it records who handled them. Those measures vary from one of our buildings to the next too, so ask us the same thing. Our guide to secure collectibles storage explains what each control means and what to ask.
Many coins look nearly alike. Two can share a year and differ only in mint mark, or share a type and differ in grade. Give each mint mark and each grade its own SKU, and we scan every coin against it at the shelf and again at the packing table. Scanning twice gives two chances to stop a near-identical coin from going out. Tracking each coin by serial number, or photographing its condition at intake, goes further than a SKU scan, and our page on serialized item-level inventory covers that step in full.
A parcel that looks like it holds gold invites theft. We pack coins and bullion in plain packaging with nothing on the outside to say what's in it. Inside, cushioning is there to hold small, heavy coins still against rattling loose. The packaging is also tamper-evident, so it shows if someone has opened it.
Carriers limit what they will pay out on very valuable items such as coins and bullion. That limit sits far below what a single bullion shipment is worth, so brands commonly buy their own shipping insurance for the value above it.
Even at USPS the ceiling is low. Standard parcel insurance tops out near $5,000. Registered Mail, the Postal Service's high-security option, is tracked and signed for at each handoff and insured to roughly $50,000.
Carriers also offer signature and adult-signature delivery, so the parcel goes to a person instead of being left at a door. Our team sets the declared value and signature level for your shipments with you. For the value above the carrier's cap, talk to your insurer.
Coins and bullion need cover in two places, on our shelves and on the road. Treat them as one question and the gap tends to show up only after a loss. In both places, you arrange the cover.
No. Grading and authentication come from services such as PCGS and NGC, and we don't certify coins or change a grade. We store and ship graded and raw coins in the condition they reach us.
Coins and bullion tempt thieves more than any other collectible, so the packing gives nothing away. Each order goes out plain, tamper-evident and cushioned, with no marking on the outside that hints at what it holds. Carriers offer signature and adult-signature delivery, which puts the parcel in a person's hands instead of on a doorstep, and you choose the signature level for your parcels with our team.
Once a parcel is moving, the carrier's limit is usually what counts. Carriers cap what they will pay on very valuable items such as coins and bullion, far below what a single bullion shipment is worth, and the USPS figures are in the shipping section below. Agree the declared value and signature level with our team, and ask your insurer to cover the value above the carrier's limit.
Our scans at pick and at pack check each coin against the SKU ordered before it ships. Tracking each coin by serial number, or photographing its condition when it arrives, goes beyond that. If you need either, tell us before the coins arrive, and ask any provider to show you a sample record.
Each unit is counted and scanned as it arrives at our dock, and its barcode is checked against the order whenever it is picked. Bullion draws thieves, and our access controls are not the same in every building, so ask which one would hold your lots and what access and monitoring it runs. Our team can walk you through it, and our guide to secure collectibles storage explains what each control means.
You do. We are a public warehouse, and every client insures the stock it keeps with us on its own policy.
