The Geiger Edelmetalle GmbH Private Mint ensures the quality of these Noahs Ark Silver coins through their High Quality Conservation System. Coins are placed into tubes, a vacuum container removes all air components, colorless and inert gas is then pumped into the tubes and finally sealed enclosing the protective gas inside. This preservation aids in the prevention of the coins being damaged by oxidation.
APMEX uses a special machine for this sealing process to ensure the products you receive are sealed completely once they are removed directly from the mint boxes. The mint tubes are placed on the conveyor leading into the machine and the sealing process seals both ends of each tube with tamper-evident packaging. After the process is completed, the tube is removed from the machine and then checked to ensure the quality of the packaging meets our exacting standards. You now have a finished tube of MintDirect
® Premier + PCGS FirstStrike® 2025 1 oz Silver Armenia Noah's Ark coins.
