Rare Coin Estate Appraisals & Liquidation
Handling an estate that includes rare coins or U.S. paper currency can feel overwhelming. At American Rarities Rare Coin Company, we provide comprehensive appraisal and liquidation services designed to ease the process for fiduciaries, attorneys, estate executors, and financial planners. With decades of experience in numismatics, we ensure accurate appraisals and secure, efficient sales, giving you and your clients peace of mind.
Numismatic Experience You Can Trust
As a member dealer of PCGS and NGC, and a life member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), our team brings over 100 years of combined experience to every collection we evaluate. Our estate appraisals are IRS-compliant and tailored to meet the unique requirements of each collection.
Professional Estate Appraisal Services
Our IRS acceptable appraisals can be tailored to meet your clients’ specific requirements. Tax preparers, please note that we can provide an appraisal based on any historical date.
We offer the following appraisal services for your clients, depending on their needs:
-
- Insurance/Replacement Value Appraisals: Ideal for ensuring rare coin collections are properly insured.
- Fair Market/Liquidation Appraisals: Focused on the collection’s current market value, particularly useful for sales or transfers.
- Date-of-Death Appraisals: Essential for tax preparation and estate settlements, based on the historical value of the collection at the time of the decedent’s passing.
From high-value, certified numismatic collections to simple accumulations of common collectible coins built up over a lifetime, our numismatic staff can provide an accurate appraisal of the value of your clients’ material.
Liquidating a Coin Collection - Private Sale Versus Auction
A private sale to a reputable rare coin dealer such as American Rarities will consistently achieve a greater monetary result than an auction sale. Auction buyers can be fickle – the numismatic market can fluctuate daily, based simply on the headlines of the day, and auction attendance is never guaranteed. Check out our Coin Shop vs Coin Auction page for a more nuanced explanation.
American Rarities has a long-term outlook on the rare coin market. We have been in the rare coin business for 25 years. We are confident we can offer your clients a higher price, with immediate payment, than they would receive through the longer, drawn out process of an auction.
