Requesting a Specific Year or Coin
Most pieces are forged from coins we keep in stock, so standard orders ship quickly. But holding examples of every year for every coin is impractical. If a specific year matters to you, we're happy to accommodate that too - here's how that works.
Common years vs. better years
Every coin type has "common years" — widely available, no added cost — and "better years," which are rarer and carry a premium. Sometimes that premium is small. Occasionally it's significant. Which years fall into each category is different for every coin.
How it works
- Tell us the coin and year you're after.
- We'll check our on-hand stock in the safe. If we already have your coin, there's no added cost.
- If we don't, we'll research it and let you know if a premium applies, and how much.
- If you'd like to move forward, we'll send a revised invoice with the final price.
- Once your order is confirmed, we source the coin — this typically adds 2–4 days to your lead time.
Which pieces qualify
Specific year requests are available for the American Silver Eagle and most of the Sovereign Gold rings. The Reserve Pre-1933 piece is the one exception: it's forged from a single historic coin type rather than sourced to a specific year, so requests aren't available for it.
