• Coins. A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.
• Precious Metal Bullion. Any precious metal bullion which does not meet the definition of Precious Metal Bullion.

• 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.
