Various physical attributes and the year that the coin was minted are assessed in the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale. This scale ranges from 1-70, with a 70 being the best or the ”perfect” grade.
For a numismatic coin to achieve a “perfect” MS70 (Mint State 70) grade, numismatists look at the physical aspects of the coin. An MS70 grade means the coin has no marks, even when using an eye loupe or magnifier, a bright color, and an extraordinary luster and strike.
Grades 68-69 are still near perfect levels. However, the main difference would be small, light marks that are visible upon closer inspection, but not visible to the naked eye.
The year of rare platinum coins also plays a role in determining the numismatic value, as every year there are a different number of minted coins. Only so many coins will be graded. Amongst those, a small percentage will be graded MS70. Therefore, MS70 coins have a higher appeal and scarcity than other platinum bullion coins due to their incredible rarity.
In contrast to standard U.S. Mint platinum coins, platinum numismatics are valued beyond their precious metal value. Many investors and collectors turn to numismatics because of their ever-growing scarcity. They are only available in limited quantities, and will always be highly coveted by enthusiastic coin collectors.
By purchasing rare platinum coins, you are removing them from circulation, naturally decreasing the available supply on the market. With every passing year, numismatics become increasingly difficult to obtain, causing their value to increase. Besides being a high-potential investment vehicle, finding and collecting rare coins is a very rewarding hobby!
Platinum numismatics are worth more than their intrinsic platinum content due to their extreme rarity. They’re highly collectible. Over time, they only become increasingly difficult to obtain, naturally driving their value upward.
Building sets is a fun aspect of coin collecting, and you may see a significant return on your investment if you decide to sell a complete set. For example, you could seek out specific U.S. Mint platinum coins like the Platinum American Eagle from the first year they were minted (1997) up to the current year.
There’s no guesswork involved in pricing our numismatics. Our rare coins are always graded by established third-party grading services — the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) and the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). The coins are thoroughly evaluated by experts according to the Sheldon Coin Grading Scale.
The Sheldon Coin Grading Scale runs from 0-70, with a score of 70 signifying that a coin is in perfect condition. Coins are graded according to their strike, luster, surface preservation, coloration, and eye appeal. The scale has remained the industry standard since 1949.
Both investment vehicles have their own unique benefits. Platinum bullion bars and coins allow you to purchase the metal as close to its current spot price as possible. However, these products are typically widely available, so they’re not as desirable on the collector’s market.
Although platinum numismatics cost more upfront, they offer outstanding long-term growth potential.
