Our Leading Competitors

Is there another dealer who gives links to his competitors?!

We doubt it but, again, we believe that an educated customer is a happy customer. Over the past fifteen years, we have built our reputation through great prices and concierge level customer service (at Vault Wholesale, you’re always speaking with an owner). We are also very well appreciated for our transparency. No secrets = no surprises and no surprises = happy, healthy long term customer relationships.

And hey – if you find a “better deal”, please give us call to see if we can match or beat it. You can reach Joel directly at 209-610-0941.

Grading & Certification Services

Since their introduction in the 1980s, Grading Services have been the single greatest innovation in coin collecting, eliminating the differences of opinion about grading and authenticity.  As a result, coins have become a sound investment and the hobby has gained in prestige.

The two leading grading services are:

PCGS—Professional Coin Grading Service
NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
