Last updated: April 2026 dataSilver, copper, nickel, and other base-metal coins that have been demonetized or were never issued as legal tender fall under SITC 96100, where their classification hinges on the distinction between numismatic articles and raw metal. Unlike circulating coinage, these pieces are typically valued on collector or melt-metal markets, and their HTS classification can shift depending on whether they are presented as collector items, scrap, or semi-manufactured metal. Trade professionals should pay close attention to the coin's issuing authority, date, and condition when determining the correct tariff subheading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP looks at whether the article retains a recognizable coin form and numismatic identity. Coins that are mutilated, melted, or presented in bulk as recovered metal are more likely to be classified as scrap under the relevant metal heading. Intact coins with collector value, even if demonetized, generally remain classifiable as coin rather than as raw or scrap metal.
Coins that qualify as antiques — generally those over 100 years old — may be eligible for duty-free treatment under the HTS antiques provision, but the importer must substantiate the age with documentation such as auction records, provenance letters, or expert appraisals. Classification as an antique must be supported at the time of entry.
