What We Appraise
Gold Coins
From modern bullion to antique rarities, we appraise all gold coins. Our evaluation includes metal testing, date and mintmark identification, and assessment of numismatic premiums above melt value.
Silver Coins
Silver coins range from common 90% junk silver to rare Morgan dollar key dates worth thousands. We identify which category your coins fall into and price them accordingly.
Rare & Collectible
Key dates, mint errors, and high-grade pieces require special expertise. We identify the subtle differences that separate a common coin from a valuable rarity.
Estate Collections
Inherited a collection you know nothing about? We specialize in estate evaluations. Bring in everything and we will sort, identify, and value each piece for you.

How We Determine Value
Our appraisals combine hands-on expertise with industry-standard pricing resources to give you accurate, current values.
Metal Testing
We verify gold and silver content using precision scales and testing equipment to calculate accurate melt values.
Authentication
Rare and high-value coins are examined for authenticity using magnification, weight, and diagnostic markers.
Market Research
We reference PCGS, NGC, Greysheet, and recent auction results to determine current collector values.
Written appraisals: If you need a formal written appraisal for insurance or estate purposes, we can provide documentation. Most verbal appraisals are completed during your visit, but written reports may require additional time for complex collections.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Is the appraisal really free?
Yes, completely free with no catches. We do not charge for verbal appraisals regardless of collection size. We offer this service because we genuinely want to help people understand what their coins are worth, and we know that informed sellers often become our customers.
Do I need to make an appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome during business hours for most collections. If you have a large estate collection or prefer privacy, we recommend calling ahead to schedule dedicated time. This ensures you get our full attention without waiting.
How long does an appraisal take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your collection. A handful of coins can be evaluated in 15-20 minutes. Larger collections or rare pieces requiring research may take an hour or more. We take whatever time is needed to give you accurate values.
Can I get a written appraisal for insurance?
Yes. We can provide written documentation suitable for insurance purposes or estate records. Verbal appraisals during your visit are always free. Written appraisals for complex collections may involve a nominal fee to cover the additional time and documentation.
What if I decide not to sell?
That is perfectly fine. Many people visit solely to learn what their coins are worth with no intention of selling. You are under no obligation whatsoever. We consider it a successful appraisal if you leave better informed than when you arrived.
