Understanding the Grade Allocation
Every order includes one certified coin graded between MS66 and MS70 by either NGC or PCGS. Each grading company independently assesses the coin’s condition before sealing it within a protective holder.
Understanding the grades:
- MS66 – Premium Uncirculated: A well-preserved coin with only minor imperfections visible under close inspection.
- MS67 – Choice Mint State: Excellent eye appeal with fewer marks than lower Mint State grades.
- MS68 – Exceptional Mint State: Outstanding quality with only tiny imperfections visible under magnification.
- MS69 – Near Perfect: Virtually flawless, with only minute imperfections detectable under magnification.
- MS70 – Perfect Mint State: A flawless coin with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification.
Higher Mint State grades are typically scarcer and often command stronger premiums within the certified coin market.
Why Choose a Certified Gold Coin?
Unlike standard bullion coins, certified coins have been independently examined by professional grading experts. The condition, authenticity and quality are permanently recorded and protected.
Benefits include:
- Guaranteed authenticity
- Independent condition assessment
- Tamper-evident protective holder

Many investors favour one-ounce coins because they:
- Contain one full troy ounce of .9999 fine gold
- Are widely recognised and traded worldwide
- Offer excellent liquidity
- Combine gold bullion value with collectability
- Can be easier to sell than larger gold holdings
- Are produced by The Royal Mint to internationally recognised standards
For many buyers, a certified 1oz coin offers the ideal balance between bullion value and numismatic appeal.
