How it works
Corp Numismatics is a hybrid precious metals platform with two main services: the Marketplace (buy and bid) and Sell-to-Us (instant dealer-locked offer). Here's how each works.
Step 1 — Create an account and complete KYC
All participants — buyers, sellers, and bidders — must complete one-time identity verification (KYC) before transacting. KYC requires a valid US government-issued ID and confirmation that you are a US resident. The process takes under 5 minutes and is valid for all future transactions on the platform.
Step 2 — Browse the marketplace or search to sell
To buy: browse BIN and auction listings filtered by metal, format, and condition. Each listing shows live spot price context, seller rating, and full item details. To sell: search our catalog of 500+ products by name, metal, or category. Find your item, add it to your quote basket, and proceed to the dealer lock.
Step 3 — Lock a bid or purchase
Buyers can click "Buy Now" on a BIN listing or place a bid on a timed English auction. Sellers click "Get a quote" on a catalog product. Corp identifies the best active dealer bid for your metal and weight, applies the 175 bps spread, and locks the offer for 5 minutes.
Step 4 — Ship your items (sellers)
After accepting the dealer lock, you'll receive shipping instructions. Pack your coins or bars using insured packaging and an approved carrier (USPS Registered Mail, FedEx, or UPS). Corp- escrow lots ship from our Sarasota vault.
Step 5 — Confirm delivery and receive payment
The buyer confirms delivery on the order page. Once confirmed, the seller's ACH payout is triggered. Funds typically arrive within 1-2 business days. The buyer's marketplace purchase is considered complete after delivery confirmation.
