The Mint does not buy or refine either gold or silver. Distinct from regular bullion, the Mint does sell investment coins. You can find more information here.
The Mint does not buy back or value coins. Many issues are involved in assessing the value of a coin including its rarity, condition of the coin and demand for the coin by other collectors. You may like to do some preliminary research yourself. A good place to obtain an approximate value is "Renniks Australian Coin and Banknote Values". This is a useful reference book, which is updated annually and features the Royal Australian Mint. "Renniks Australian Coin and Banknote Values" can be purchased online via our eShop, the Contact Centre (1300 652 020) or in the Mint Shop.
If you'd like to sell your coin collection, you should contact one of our Coin Distributors. Some of our distributors also offer coin valuations, you can find a list of our distributors who offer coin valuations here
