Gold Is Getting Scarcer – And Collectors Are Starting to Notice

If you’ve tried to buy physical gold recently, you’ve probably felt it: delays, waiting lists, and “out of stock” notices. Our customers were used to orders getting shipped in 24 hours, now we ask for weeks.

Investors are buying faster than refiners can produce. And yet… the gold price doesn’t look like it’s reached its ceiling. Or did it?

In fact, if history teaches us anything, it’s that when physical gold becomes hard to get, the bull run is usually closer to the beginning than to the end.

Why Is Gold Becoming Harder to Find?

  • Central banks continue buying record amounts of bullion, especially Russia, China and the BRICS movement
  • Premiums on coins are rising, stock levels are falling.
  • The demand is simply rising too quickly for the supply chain to be able to react

This is why even Pressburg Mint customers – have recently had to wait longer for their orders. And while waiting is never pleasant, it’s also a major signal: scarcity is real, demand is rising, and the market is waking up.

People aren’t just stacking metal. They’re hunting for scarce, visually stunning, low-mintage investment pieces that combine bullion value with artistic appeal and future collectability.

Limited-Series Gold Coins: Where Beauty Meets Smart Investing

While the big mints push millions of the same coins onto the market every year, Pressburg Mint takes the opposite approach: very low mintages, premium artistry, and high, proof-like quality at prices that still rival standard bullion.

Examples:

1 oz: 300 pcs.
1/10 oz: 1000 pcs.
Time, philosophy, symbolism10-year tradition, high collecibility, close narrative to the precious metals markets,+ ultra-low mintage, special releases planned for 2026

1/10 oz: 1000 pcs.
Global designGlobal-themed design, environmental story

Compare this to mainstream gold proof coins from other mints, where mintages are magnitudes higher and prices are often double or more – despite offering no additional rarity or other value.

With Pressburg Mint, the collector gets it all:

✅ Physical gold in beautiful leather cases with numbered and unique, secure serial nnumbers
✅ Proof-like quality
✅ Mintages so low they would be considered “errors” at government mints
✅ A story, a theme, a reason to exist beyond just the metal
✅ Premiums far below what the rest of the market charges for similar quality


Why Low-Mintage Gold is Better in Bull Markets

When gold rises, generic bullion rises with it.

But when gold rises and there are only 300 pieces of a coin in the world, collectors, flippers, and investors all compete for the same supply.

That’s when you start seeing 2x… 3x… 5x prices on the secondary market.

Proof-like gold coins with emotional narratives and limited runs are no longer just “gold.” They become portable artworks that store value and tell stories — and they’re the first segment to disappear when precious metals heat up.

The Waiting Lists Are the Signal

If you have to wait for a product today, imagine what the situation looks like when:

  • spot is $6000+
  • refineries are six months behind
  • banks announce another round of gold accumulation
  • and private mints are fully sold out for the year

At that moment, owning anything will already be too late.

The smart money buys before that moment.
The smart collector buys rarity, not mass-produced bullion.

Final Thought

The delays you see today are not a flaw in the system.
They are a warning from the market.

Gold is tightening. Supply is shrinking. Attention is rising.
And the next phase of this bull market will reward the people who hold rare metal, not just metal.

If you want to stay ahead of the storm, the time to secure low-mintage Pressburg Mint gold coins is not after the price erupts.

It’s now — while there are still pieces left to buy.

How to upload a profile photo for customised Christmas rounds

Please upload a clear, well-lit photo portrait of yourself.

The ideal format is a circular .png portrait in high resolution, with a transparent background. If you don’t know how to do that, don’t worry, you will be able to tweak any image you have of yourself and see a visual preview later in the process, before making the purchase.

After uploading the picture, click the pencil icon which will allow you to crop, resize and rotate the photo to exactly match how you would like the resulting portrait to look on the coin. Mind that if you are working with a square or rectangular photo, it will get cropped in the circle. However, you can play around with it again and again until you reach a satisfactory outcome. If you already have a circle portrait, make sure not to crop it back into a square. 

If you would have any special requests to have a totally customized product made, with many more features and options, such as selective gold-plating, antique finish, luxury 3D-printed silver objects, don’t hesitate to contact us at shop@pressburgmint.com
