Questions and Answers
How do I go about getting my collection appraised or valued?
Answer:
The best way to get your coins appraised is to first call us ahead of time to let us know what's in the collection. We can often times save you the trouble of bringing in items that we aren't interested in by calling first. Once you come in its as simple as either waiting for your items to be appraised or we can give you a receipt for your items and we will call you when your appraisal has been completed. For some appraisals we do charge an hourly rate. Such as collections in an estate or very large collections that take many hours to complete. If the collection is liquidated at the time the appraisal is completed then there is no charge for the appraisal so it might be a good idea to talk it over with all parties involved before coming by so that you might be able to make the decision to liquidate at the time of appraisal!
