Government-minted gold coins, from American Gold Eagles to Canadian Gold Maples, bought and sold on Pure's order book. Verified in house before it ships.
Pure works like an exchange. Sellers post asks, buyers post bids, and every listing shows its premium over the live spot price, so you know what you are paying above the metal before you click anything. Take the lowest ask and the coin is yours at that price. Or place a bid at your own number and let it stand in the order book until a seller meets it.
Gold coins are struck by a government mint (the U.S. Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint, and dozens of others), which is what separates them from bars, which private refiners produce. Because a mint stands behind the design and weight, coins carry a face value alongside their metal content, and many carry legal tender status in their country of origin. Most gold coins in the catalog run 1 oz, though fractional and multi-ounce pieces trade here too.
Modern bullion coins like the American Gold Eagle and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf are priced primarily on their metal content, while certified pieces graded by NGC or PCGS carry added value for their rarity and condition.
Every coin sold on Pure is tested and verified before it reaches the buyer. Shipments are insured in both directions up to $125,000 with FedEx, with armored transport available on request for the largest orders.
Pure isn't only a place to buy. Every listing here runs both directions: post an ask at your price and wait for a buyer, or accept a standing bid and ship your coin in the same day.
Shipping in for a sale works the same as a purchase, verification first, payout after. How to sell on Pure walks through placing an ask, getting paid, and what happens if a listing doesn't move. If you're weighing Pure against a local dealer or coin shop, selling gold online vs. a local dealer breaks down the tradeoffs. Full policy detail on both flows is in How Pure Works.
What is the difference between a gold coin and a gold round? A coin is struck by a government mint and typically carries a face value. A round is privately minted, coin-shaped, but carries no face value or legal tender status.
What does premium over spot mean? Spot is the live global price of gold itself. The premium is whatever a specific coin costs above the value of its gold content, covering minting, distribution, and the seller's margin. Every Pure listing displays it next to the price. What a premium in bullion pricing actually covers goes deeper on how it's calculated.
Where can I buy gold coins online? On Pure's order book, where every coin shows a live ask and its premium over spot before you buy. Best place to buy gold online compares Pure against the other places bullion buyers shop.
Can I sell gold coins on Pure, or is it buy-only? Both. The same order book that lists coins for sale also takes asks and bids from sellers, one coin at a time or a full collection.
What does "Pure Qualified" mean? It is Pure's label for an item that has cleared our in-house verification check before it ships or before a payout goes out.
