Amazon has announced the launch of its Collectible Coins store, a marketplace that it says gives customers direct access to more than 10,000 unique U.S. coins from more than 75 dealers showcasing a wide variety of professionally graded and authenticated coins. The company said its new store is one of the largest online destinations to discover and purchase graded U.S. coins, featuring easy-to-use search tools. Customers can explore a vast range of collectible, rare and historical coins from highly regarded dealers, including Stack’s Bowers Galleries, Kagin’s, David Lawrence Rare Coins and Liberty Coin.

“Collectors of rare coins are passionate about the hobby because coins represent the intersection of history, collectibility and wealth,” said Steve Johnson, director for the Amazon Marketplace. “Coins have been one of the most searched for items in our collectibles stores. The introduction of the Collectible Coins store was inspired by customer demand and the need to provide a unique experience for customers to discover graded and rare U.S. coins from reputable dealers. We’re thrilled to bring the excitement and discovery of coin collecting to Amazon.”

Customers can browse historical collections, including buried treasure coins from the Saddle Ridge Hoard. Recently discovered in California, the collection has received national attention — particularly for its 1866 $20 Liberty Head, No Motto valued at $1.2 million. The store also features hard-to-find and precious metal coins including Gold Buffalo, Morgan Silver dollars, American Silver Eagles and American Gold Eagles.
