The Best Place to Sell Platinum Austrian Philharmonic Coins in Los Angeles
If you want to sell a platinum Austrian Philharmonic, South Bay Coin is the most trusted destination in Los Angeles County. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured precious metals dealer based in Lawndale, and we have purchased platinum, gold, and silver bullion since 1980. Our appraisers know the Vienna Mint series inside and out.
The platinum Philharmonic is a serious bullion coin, struck in one full troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum by Munze Osterreich. Because we refine and process metal in-house, we pay you for the true platinum content rather than the discounted resale figure a pawn shop or jewelry store would offer after marking the coin up for a third party.
Every appraisal happens in front of you at our counter. We verify the coin, weigh it on a calibrated scale, and explain exactly how we arrive at our offer. There is never any pressure to sell. Whether you hold a single coin or an estate collection, you receive the same care we give clients who come to sell platinum bullion or sell gold coins in Los Angeles.

How We Value Your Platinum Philharmonic
A platinum bullion coin is valued on two things: how much pure platinum it contains and the live platinum spot price on the global market. The one ounce Austrian Philharmonic is refreshingly simple in this respect. Each coin holds exactly one troy ounce of platinum at .9995 fineness, with a face value of 100 euros and legal tender status in Austria. There is no guesswork about purity.
Our appraisers confirm the coin is genuine, check the weight on a certified scale, and tie the offer to the current platinum market. Because platinum trades on its own market separate from gold and silver, it is worth selling to a dealer who follows platinum closely rather than a shop that mainly handles gold jewelry. The 1/25 ounce platinum Philharmonic, introduced in 2017, is valued by the same method on a smaller scale.
Condition, original capsule, and any mint packaging can matter for collectors, but the platinum content is always the foundation of what we pay. That transparency is why so many sellers choose us over a quick pawn-counter quote.
Why the Austrian Mint Platinum Coin Holds Its Value
The Vienna Philharmonic is one of the most recognized bullion coins on earth, issued by the Austrian Mint since 1989 in gold, since 2008 in silver, and since 2016 in platinum. The Austrian Mint traces its history back to 1194 and is backed by the Austrian National Bank, which guarantees the coin's weight and purity. That heritage gives the coin worldwide recognition and easy liquidity.
The design is unmistakable. The obverse shows the Great Organ of the Golden Hall in Vienna's Musikverein, while the reverse features a cluster of orchestral instruments, including a cello, violin, harp, bassoon, and Vienna horn, with the inscription Wiener Philharmoniker. Because the coin is internationally known and struck to a high standard of fineness, it changes hands quickly and reliably, which means a strong, fair offer when you bring one to our coin counter in Lawndale.

What Our Customers Say
Common Questions About Selling Platinum Austrian Philharmonics
South Bay Coin in Lawndale is one of the most established places to sell a platinum Austrian Philharmonic in the Los Angeles area. We are a licensed dealer that has bought bullion since 1980, we appraise on the spot, and we pay cash the same day. Walk-ins are always welcome at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd.
Value comes from two things: the pure platinum content and the live platinum spot price. Each one ounce Austrian Philharmonic holds exactly one troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum, so the math is straightforward. We verify the coin, weigh it on a certified scale, and base the offer on the current platinum market.
The platinum Vienna Philharmonic is struck in .9995 fine platinum, the highest standard for platinum bullion. The Austrian Mint introduced it in 2016, backed by the Austrian National Bank, which guarantees the weight and purity. The one ounce coin carries a face value of 100 euros and legal tender status in Austria.
Yes. We buy the one ounce platinum Philharmonic and the smaller 1/25 ounce version that the Austrian Mint introduced in 2017. Both are valued by the same method, based on their platinum content and the live market. Bring any year and any quantity, whether they are capsuled, tubed, or loose.
A dedicated bullion dealer is almost always the better choice. Many pawn shops do not track the platinum market closely and may decline platinum or quote it like generic scrap. Because we refine in-house and follow platinum daily, we recognize the Austrian Philharmonic and pay you for what it truly contains.
No appointment is needed. Walk into our Lawndale showroom during business hours and an appraiser will help you right away. If you prefer, call (310) 363-7808 or text photos of your coins to (310) 363-2697 first, and we can give you a sense of the process before you arrive.
Yes. Original capsules and packaging are nice to have, but they are not required. The platinum content is the foundation of the coin's value, so we can appraise and buy loose coins just the same. If you do have the capsule, tube, or any mint materials, bring them and we will factor them in.
Platinum trades on its own global market, separate from gold and silver, and moves throughout the day. Your offer follows that live spot price applied to the coin's one troy ounce of pure platinum. We base every quote on the current market at the moment of your appraisal, and we explain it openly at the counter.
Absolutely. Along with the Austrian Philharmonic, we buy platinum American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Britannias, platinum bars and rounds from recognized refiners, and platinum jewelry or scrap marked 950 or 900. If it is platinum, our appraisers can evaluate it and make you a fair, transparent offer.
The Vienna Philharmonic is one of the most recognized bullion coins worldwide, issued by the Austrian Mint and guaranteed by the Austrian National Bank. Its high .9995 fineness and global reputation make it easy to trade and quick to liquidate. That recognition is exactly why a knowledgeable dealer can offer a strong, fair price.
