Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy coin collections in Auckland and the rest of New Zealand?
Yes. We regularly purchase from the Auckland region and travel across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands for larger collections. Contact us with details.
How quickly can I receive payment?
We aim for prompt settlement. In many cases same-day payment is available once terms are agreed, depending on the material and the payment method you prefer (bank transfer is common).
Is there an obligation to sell if I get a valuation?
No. We provide assessments and offers with no pressure. You are free to take the items elsewhere or keep them.
Should I clean my coins before bringing them in?
No. Cleaning or polishing can reduce value. Bring items as they are.
Do you handle NGC and PMG submissions?
Yes. We are a partner for NGC and PMG submissions. See our Certification page for more.
Can I visit the Devonport office?
Yes, by arrangement. Please contact us in advance so we can set aside time. Address: Level 1 – Suite D, 31 Bartley Terrace, Devonport.
Do you buy foreign coins / offer foreign coin exchange?
Yes, we do buy foreign coins and notes and offer an exchange service for leftover travel currency. This is a smaller part of the business — it can be time-consuming — but we are happy to help where practical. For small quantities we may ask for a list by email and then accept them by post. Rates depend on quantity, country, face value and weight. See also our earlier foreign exchange information.
Where is your online shop?
The full catalogue is at shop.oceanicmint.com.
Are you a member of any associations?
Yes. We are members of the New Zealand Numismatic Dealers Association (NZNDA), the Numismatic Society of Auckland, and the Royal Numismatic Society of New Zealand. We are licensed secondhand dealers.
