Coinplex
Coinplex is a New Jersey based electronic exchange where coin dealers can buy and sell PCGS and NGC certified and CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) verified coins. The exchange is designed to be a dealers-only exchange and operates as an internet only market for coins at www.coinplex.com. It allows users to contact and do business with other rare coin dealers.

Coinplex was launched in 2011 and is a joint venture involving Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC), Heritage Auctions of Dallas, TX and David Lawrence Rare Coins of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Coinplex is comprised of 160 members and competes directly with California based Certified Coin Exchange. The Coinplex exchange has managed to amass a marketplace with over 60,000 bids with listings valued at $552 million (see Coinplex home page for bid total updated in real time).

Coin Trading Networks

Coin Trading networks have existed for over 20 years and have become an important part of price discovery in the coin industry as well as providing another venue to keep the coin market liquid. Coinplex is a relative newcomer to the coin exchange market with its launch in 2011.

New electronic markets enable business to be conducted outside of the traditional coin show events where most business had been handled. Even though numismatic trading networks don’t experience the volume of traditional commodities exchanges, the pricing information realized on the electronic coin networks is very important. The rise of Coinplex and its half-billion dollars in coin bids, along with CCE's bids totaling over $300 billion points to a level of financial depth in the coin market not previously seen. These sophisticated coin networks with their proprietary software systems that enable price discovery and communication with dealers will go a long way to appealing to the larger financial institutions who are considering investment in rare coins to diversify their portfolios. The electronic coin networks are almost akin to a stock market for coins.
