Editorial Policy

Our guides explain coin values, precious-metal prices and the rules on buying, selling and melting coins in plain English.

How articles are produced

Articles are researched against primary sources – US Mint coin specifications, federal regulations such as 31 CFR Part 82, and official announcements – and use live data from our price system rather than fixed numbers wherever prices are mentioned. Drafts may be prepared with the help of AI writing tools; every article is reviewed and fact-checked by our editorial team before publication, and the team is responsible for what we publish.

Independence

We do not accept payment to recommend dealers, coins or products. Advertising is clearly labeled and does not influence our content.

Updates

We review guides when rules or specifications change. See our corrections policy.
