Richard’s Coin Corner is a small, locally operated precious metals business based in Okinawa.
I am a 12-year U.S. Air Force veteran and have been living in Okinawa since 2017. After years of personal interest in precious metals and coin collecting, I started Richard’s Coin Corner to provide a straightforward, trustworthy way for people in Okinawa to access physical gold and silver without relying solely on overseas orders.
This is a small, hands-on operation. When you browse the site or reach out with questions, you are dealing directly with me. My wife is also a strong supporter of the business and helps behind the scenes, making this very much a family-supported effort.
What I focus on
The website primarily features gold and silver bullion. Inventory is kept intentionally limited and managed carefully, with pricing tied closely to live market spot prices and rounded in a simple, transparent way.
All bullion offered is sourced from established U.S. based dealers and verified prior to sale. Items listed as available are physically on hand, and stock status is updated regularly.
Why local availability matters
Access to physical precious metals in Okinawa can be limited. Many buyers are forced to order internationally, wait on shipping, or navigate unclear pricing and sourcing.
Richard’s Coin Corner exists to offer a local alternative: clear communication, fair pricing, and availability you can verify.
Special orders and availability
Because inventory is managed conservatively, selections may be limited at times. If you are looking for a specific gold or silver item not currently listed, special order requests may be available. A deposit is required to confirm special orders and secure pricing.
Beyond bullion
While the website focuses on bullion, I also enjoy coin collecting and helping others learn about the hobby. Coin collecting items and educational conversations are often best handled in person, such as at local flea markets or meetups, where questions and discussion are encouraged.
