Drawings, not photos, shown to scale with each other. Every coin's year and grade go on the checklist.

How it's packed

Nobody knows which bag is which.

An independent packer will fill, shuffle, weight-match and seal every bag. Pocket Mint and the seller cannot know which bag holds which coin.

  1. Fill.

    One ICG-graded coin and a Coin Facts card go in each bag. Never zero coins, never two.

  2. Shuffle.

    The packer mixes the filled bags, so their order tells you nothing.

  3. Weight-match.

    Each bag will get a weight shim, so every bag lands in the same weight band.

  4. Seal.

    The bag stays sealed until you open it. Do not accept a bag with a broken seal.
