  • Coins.  A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.
  • Accessory Items.  Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.
  • Processed Items.  Precious metals that have been processed by third parties into items that are valued on more than their precious metal content, such as statues or colorized coins.
