Selling Your Foreign Coin Collection: A Guide for Collectors

A well-curated foreign coin collection represents years of passion, dedication, and investment. It’s a journey across the globe and through history, captured in metal. When it comes time to sell, you need a buyer who understands and respects the entirety of your collection, not just a few individual pieces.

For over 30 years, American Rarities has been a trusted partner for collectors looking to sell their foreign coin collections. This guide explains how we evaluate a complete collection and why our approach ensures you receive the maximum value for your years of effort.

Always Paying More For Your Collection!

How We Value an Entire Foreign Coin Collection

Evaluating and grading a full collection is different from pricing a single coin. Our experts look at the bigger picture.

  • Overall Scope and Quality: What is the theme of your collection? Is it focused on a specific country, time period, or metal? A complete set or a high-quality, specialized collection is often worth more than the sum of its individual parts.

  • Key Coins and “Sleepers”: We identify the high-value “key” coins that anchor your collection. We also look for underrated or rare “sleeper” coins that other buyers might miss.

  • The “Commons”: We understand that every collection includes common, lower-value coins. Unlike many buyers, we will make a fair, competitive offer on your entire collection, not just the best pieces.

We Buy All Types of World Coin Collections

Our team has the expertise to value collections of any type and from any era. We are strong buyers of:

  • Country-specific collections (e.g., Great Britain, Germany, Mexico, China)
  • Ancient coin collections (Roman, Greek, etc.)
  • Gold and silver bullion collections
  • Inherited multi-generational collections
    Any large holding of world coins
