“Coins are small but monumental in history and meaning. At WAX, we handle your numismatic treasures with care and expertise, so you can trade, exhibit and invest with confidence.”
— Jeremy Caparas, Head of Customer Success
Unique Risks for Coin Collectors
Portability and theft: Coins are compact and easily stolen or melted for metal.
Shipping and grading: Many collectors send coins to grading services; loss or damage in transit is a major concern.
Market volatility: Coin values fluctuate with precious metal prices and collector demand.
WAX Solutions
All‑risk protection: Coverage includes theft, accidental loss, damage in transit, and natural disasters. Coins sent for grading, sale or exhibition are protected.
Agreed value: Our policies can lock in a specific value or adjust to market price at the time of loss.
Flexible policies: Insure a single rare coin or an entire collection under blanket coverage. Claims under WAX don’t affect your homeowners policy, preserving eligibility.
With WAX, numismatists can trade, exhibit and store their coins with confidence.
Real‑World Case Study
A coin collector mailed a set of ungraded Morgan dollars to a grading service. The package was misrouted and never recovered. Thanks to their WAX policy, they received compensation based on recent auction values and could rebuild their set. By contrast, another hobbyist lost a graded gold coin in a burglary; with no specialized coverage, their homeowners insurance paid only the bullion value, ignoring numismatic premiums.
