Established in 1986, Teletrade quickly became one of America's largest certified coin and currency auction houses, utilizing cutting edge technology to implement a state-of-the-art auction platform that has been the centerpiece to our success and growth as a company. In 1998, Teletrade was acquired by Spectrum Group Intl., now a Fortune 500 Company that shares the same dedication to continual growth, customer service, and passion for coins that has been a Teletrade standard for the past 26 years.

Teletrade's website is a fully interactive auction website that allows customers to browse upcoming auctions, research past auction prices realized, and bid on 3500+ coins per week in one of our four online weekly auctions. Whether you're a collector or consignor, we encourage your participation in any one of our free standard services that only Teletrade can provide.

• Mr. Wantlist: Enter a coin or currency into your personal Mr. Wantlist and we'll let you know when it appears in a future auction!
• Free NGC/PCGS Grading: Consign your raw coins to any upcoming Teletrade Auction and for every coin that sells for over $250 or more, and Teletrade will pay the grading cost.
• Gold Rewards Program: Teletrade's industry-leading customer loyalty program that allows our customer to redeem earned points for exciting numismatic material, as a way of saying thank you for choosing Teletrade.

Teletrade currently holds four Certified Coin auctions per week from 3:00-10:00pm ET, every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Register Today for Free to jump into the action!
