Private sourcing · Certification verified · Insured delivery or secure vault storage

Woodbury Gold Vault's graded gold service is handled privately rather than listed publicly. Coins are sourced through mints, established dealers and private networks, then independently certified by PCGS or NGC before they are offered.

Availability is limited and released on a private allocation basis, so holdings change week to week. Once a coin is placed, you can take fully insured UK delivery or hold it in allocated vault storage in your own name.

Why Go Graded?

Grading provides an independent assessment of a coin's authenticity and condition. Coins certified by internationally recognised grading services can be identified and compared using an established grading standard, helping collectors and buyers make more informed decisions.

Authentication & Protection

Before encapsulation, the coin is examined by an independent grading service for authenticity and condition. The certified holder then protects it from handling and environmental exposure while preserving the grade shown on its label.

Secure Certification & Traceability

Each graded coin is assigned a unique certification number and sealed inside a tamper-evident holder. Certification details can be checked against the grading service's records, creating a clear and verifiable link between the physical coin and its documented assessment.

Understanding Graded Coin Certification

A certification label normally records the coin's date, denomination, variety, grade and unique reference number. These details allow the holder to be checked against the relevant PCGS or NGC record and help buyers understand exactly how the coin has been classified.

Why Graded Coins Command Higher Demand

Certification changes what a buyer is able to know about a coin before they commit — its authenticity, its condition and how it compares with others of the same type.

  • Top-Tier Condition (MS70)

    The highest recognised grading standard in the market.

  • Verified Authenticity

    Independently graded, fully verified and globally recognised.

  • Collector and Market Recognition

    High-grade, scarce and low-population coins may attract additional collector interest.

  • Secure, Documented Ownership

    Individually sealed, with full provenance and ownership record.

THE PROCESS

From Enquiry to Ownership

  1. Private consultation

    We establish your objectives, preferred coin types and the level of allocation you are considering.

  2. Specialist sourcing

    Coins are sourced through mints, established dealers and private channels rather than open listings.

  3. Independent certification and verification

    Each coin is certified by PCGS or NGC, and its certification number checked against their records.

  4. Secure storage or fully insured delivery

    Hold the coin in allocated vault storage in your name, or take delivery fully insured and tracked.

  • I bought some gold sovereigns from Woodbury. Really quick service. Happy with my purchase and I will continue to use them for any precious metals purchases in future. I’ve already recommended them to a friend! Thanks

  • I purchased the Queens Panther 2oz bullion coin from Woodbury Mint because the Royal Mint was not allowing U. S. customers to purchase any bullion items. Search as I might, no one else had the coin available at that time. Annabelle Keane answered all my questions in a very timely manner, and let me know as soon as the coin was shipped. I will not hesitate to use Woodbury in the future! Thank you.
