MintDirect® Seal Of Assurance

MintDirect® Assurance

MintDirect® products are sealed within protective plastic, so they remain in the same unadulterated condition as when received by APMEX in mint-sealed boxes, protecting them for the lifetime of your investment. Premier is an elite designation for unsearched MintDirect® with PCGS FirstStrike products and marks coins received by APMEX within the first 30 days of release from the mint.

Exclusive Benefits

MintDirect® is an exclusive process that ensures you receive coins in the same condition as we received them from the mint-sealed boxes. All MintDirect® Tubes are sealed in tamper-evident packaging, guaranteeing the tube has never been opened, and the coins inside remain untouched. MintDirect® Singles are taken directly from the tube and placed in a protective polymer casing with an authentication card to safeguard the condition and authenticity of each coin directly from mint-sealed boxes. This MintDirect® seal of assurance is only available from APMEX.

MintDirect® Premier with PCGS FirstStrike®

PCGS and APMEX partnerships include popular programs from trusted mints worldwide. PCGS has rigorously reviewed and confirmed the process we have in place to secure coins from mints worldwide and affirms our products being received within 30 days of initial release and stored in a way that ensures the unadulterated condition of the coins.

MintDirect® Premier products in their sealed packaging are eligible for FirstStrike® designation if submitted to PCGS for grading after FirstStrike®-eligible coins are typically gone from the market. Previously, coins had to be stored in sealed monster boxes in secure, PCGS-approved storage locations before the FirstStrike® deadline to qualify for this designation.

How the Process Works

MintDirect® is an exclusive process that ensures you receive coins in the same condition that we received from the mint-sealed boxes. All MintDirect® Tubes are sealed in tamper-evident packaging, guaranteeing the tube has never been opened, and the coins inside remain untouched. MintDirect® Singles feature single coins taken directly from the tube and placed in a plastic polymer casing.

The Process Monster Box

The mint-sealed monster boxes arrive at APMEX.

The Process Vault

Mint-sealed boxes are moved to APMEX’s secure, climate-controlled vaults.

The Process Professionals

APMEX professionals carefully remove the unopened mint tubes and prepare tubes for the MintDirect® process.

The Process Tamper Evident Seal

Double RF welding creates a tamper-evident seal, guaranteeing each coin’s original mint condition.

The Process MintDirect® Tube

Original mint tubes are sealed with tamper-evident plastic with the MintDirect® label, guaranteeing their original mint condition

The Process Authenication Cards

Single coins are removed from the tubes with care and placed directly into plastic polymer casing with authentication card.

Note: The MintDirect® process does not guarantee protection from spotting or tarnishing that normally occurs in chemically active metals, such as gold, silver and platinum.

Life Of A Coin

APMEX uses a specialized machine for this sealing process to ensure the products you receive are completely sealed once they are removed directly from the mint boxes. The mint tubes are placed on a conveyor leading into the machine, and the sealing process seals both ends of each tube with tamper-evident packaging. After the process is completed, the tube is removed from the machine and checked to ensure the quality of the packaging meets our exacting standards.
