Coronavirus (COVID-19) UPDATE FROM GOLD’N COINS

The precious metals industry is experiencing a period of supply constraints. The US Mint recently announced they were shutting down. The Royal Canadian Mint is also temporarily shut down. These two instances alone significantly impact product availability across the board.

These supply constraints impact premiums on all products and will continue to result in volatility in product premiums as inventory becomes significantly more expensive to acquire.

Despite these difficulties, Gold'N Coins has product available for immediate over the counter delivery.

As a company, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide unmatched value and service . We take every action possible to ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers through the Coronavirus pandemic. These are remarkable times and we sincerely appreciate your continued support
