Coin Collection Appraisal

Here are 3 tips on preparing for your coin collection appraisal:

1. Sort Your Coins

Before you send your coins in for appraisal, first sort them by things like type, year, condition, and mint marks. This will make it easier for the coin appraiser to gauge the value of the coins.

Also, try to separate any coins on the basis of eye appeal. That means finding any coins that may have holes, marks, or other types of blemishes, and separating them from the rest.

2. Get Your Coins Graded

Sorting your coins is easy enough. But another thing you have to do before you get the coin collection appraisal is watch out for any fake or counterfeit coins. These can sometimes be difficult to spot. For that, you need a grading service.

American Rarities offers a coin grading service that’s completely free of charge. We’ll examine your rare coins, tell you their condition, and help you separate any fakes from the genuine.

3. Find a Reputable Coin Dealer

Okay, so you’ve gotten your coins sorted and graded. Now you need to find a reputable coin dealer to do the coin collection appraisal.

This should be someone who’s been in business for a long time, and has an established reputation.

For example, American Rarities has been in numismatics since 1990.
