Why do you sell on pre-order?Updated a month ago

As one of the largest coin retailers in the world, we’re proud to offer almost 10,000 different coins and collectibles.

With such a wide range, it’s not always possible to have every item in stock at all times. That’s where pre‑orders come in — giving you the chance to secure the coin or collectible you want, even if there’s a short wait before it ships.

In some cases, pre‑orders are available while the item is still being produced, meaning you can reserve it before it’s even finished. This is an excellent way for collectors to guarantee they get the piece they’ve been waiting for.

Over 80% of our coins and collectibles are limited editions, which means they can sell out quickly. Pre‑ordering ensures you don’t miss out and helps us keep our full range available for customers to browse and buy online.

If you spot a must‑have item marked as pre‑order, it’s best to secure it quickly — limited editions are rarely restocked once they sell out.
