Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Buying

Why are prices lower here than on your eBay store?

Here we don't pay eBay's selling fees, which run over 13% on coins, so we pass that saving to you. It's the same coins, sold by the same people.

Is it safe to buy directly from you?

Yes. The site is fully encrypted, card payments (when available) go through Stripe's secure page, and every order is covered by insured shipping and our 30-day return policy. We've also sold these same coins on eBay as Canada Coin Chest.

Why pay by Interac e-Transfer?

It's instant, Canadian and free to send from most banks, and it keeps our costs (and your prices) down. Your piece is reserved in your name for 48 hours while the transfer arrives.

Are the coins authentic?

Yes. Every piece is checked against the issuing mint's published specifications before it's listed. If you ever have a doubt, tell us and we'll resolve it, up to and including a full refund.

Do I need an account?

No. You can check out as a guest. A free account (your email and a password) saves your address, tracks your orders, earns Vault Credit on every purchase, and is needed for giveaways and consignment.

Prices and the market

Will my price change after I order?

No. Your price is locked the moment you place your order, whatever the silver market does next.

Can I return a coin because silver dropped?

Returns are for pieces that aren't right for you, and you have 30 days. Your refund is always what you paid, never more or less. Just as any rise in value after you buy is yours to keep, market movements aren't a reason for a return.

Is this a good investment?

We're honest about what we know: we can describe a coin precisely, but nobody can promise future value, and we don't give investment advice. Whether you collect, invest or give gifts, the choice is yours, and we're happy to share facts to help you make it.
