“Numismatics is the study of coins and money, of coins and coin-like objects”. Please see this and other numismatic terms and definitions and the American Numismatic Society.

The value of a coin is determined by 4 factors: mintage (how many were made), population (how many are still known to exist), condition, and popularity (whether or not the collector community desires the item).

Maintaining the condition of your coins is essential. Here are a couple of the most important things to keep in mind: 1, never clean or polish your coins for any reason. 2, always hold coins by the rim and avoid touching the flat surface. 3, do not store long term in plastic PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sleeves.

We appraise coins and currency, US and foreign.

We do not appraise error coins.

While condition is a critical component in coin value, the date, denomination, and mint mark can impact the value significantly as well. Certain pieces are so desirable that they bring great premiums, even in a lower condition.

No problem! Our appraisal process is completely free and our official documentation can be used for insurance, probate, estate planning and much more!
