TL;DR - Coins are live on Courtyard. One of the oldest collectible categories in the world is now available through a new pack-ripping experience, with $150, $500, and $1,500 packs featuring certified coins ranging from classic Morgan and Peace Dollars to proof coins, Carson City gold, and major rarities.
Coins are one of the oldest collectible categories in the world.
Long before trading cards, comics, watches, or most of the items people chase today, humans were saving coins. Not just as money, but as artifacts. Tiny pieces of history struck in silver, gold, copper, and nickel. And yet for most people, getting into coins has never felt easy.
The serious side of the hobby still runs through auction houses, dealer tables, specialty shows, wire transfers, and decades of learned knowledge. It is a category with incredible depth, but also a high wall around it.
We wanted to change that by making the experience of discovering them more accessible, more transparent, and a lot more fun.
Building It the Right Way
Getting coins right meant building with people who know this world. We brought on Matthew Ruttley, a published coin expert, to build the category from the ground up – sourcing the inventory, shaping the pack tiers, making sure everything was built with real credibility and care behind it.
To mark the launch, we invited someone who has seen nearly everything this hobby has to offer: Jeff Garrett, former president of the American Numismatic Association and co-author of the Red Book, the standard reference guide for U.S. coin values that's been in print for over 75 years. If there's a person whose reaction tells you whether you got this right, it's Jeff.
What’s in the Packs
Three Coin Pack tiers are now live, each built around a different kind of collecting experience.
The $150 pack is the starting point. Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, and classic U.S. coins from the late 19th and early 20th centuries make up the core. These are the kinds of coins that have introduced generations of collectors to the hobby.
The $500 pack levels up: higher grades, better eye appeal, sharper strikes, and broader variety across categories.
The $1,500 pack is where the premium chase begins. Proof coins, major rarities, pedigreed pieces, and coins you would normally expect to find through an auction house.
A few of the heavy hitters already in the vault:
1883 Hawaii Proof Dime, PR63
One of the rarest coins in American history, with only 26 minted. Hawaii was not yet a state, and the dimes were struck as patterns for a currency system that never fully launched.
1921 High Relief Peace Dollar, MS66
The first year of the Peace Dollar series, struck in high relief before the design was modified the following year. In MS66, this is an exceptional example.
1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo Nickel, MS63
One of the most famous U.S. error coins. A mint worker over-polished the die, removing the buffalo’s front leg and creating a variety collectors have chased for nearly 90 years.
1883 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, Proof 67 Cameo, Ex Newman/Green
A stunning proof with provenance from two of the most respected names in American numismatics. More than a coin, this is a documented piece of the hobby’s history.
1891 Carson City Gold $5, MS64
Carson City coins carry a mystique all their own. Minted in the American West during the silver boom, the CC mintmark has commanded collector attention for more than a century.
Why Coins, Why Now
Coins are one of the few collecting categories where the infrastructure hasn't really changed. The grading and authentication side has modernized. PCGS and NGC have created trusted standards for certified coins. But the buying, selling, storing, and discovering experience around those coins has not changed nearly as much.
That's the gap Courtyard is stepping into. Every coin is authenticated, photographed, and stored in the vault. You can open a pack and discover a certified piece of history in seconds. You can hold it in your collection, sell it instantly, or redeem it and have it shipped to you.
For longtime collectors, it is a new way to experience a familiar category. For people discovering coins for the first time, it is a more accessible way in.
No auction house minimums. No dealer table intimidation. Just certified coins, real history, and a new way to collect one of the oldest categories in the world.
