Rare Coin and Paper Currency Authentication Service

American Rarities’ dealers are experts at counterfeit coin detection. It can be expensive and time-consuming to send every rare coin you suspect of being a possible counterfeit to a major coin grading service. Our numismatic experts can provide the coin help to quickly render a verdict, or if we’re unsure, we can still send your material in for a second opinion.

Rare Coin and Paper Currency Appraisal Services

When you need to determine the true value of your rare coins and gold or silver bullion items, you can count on American Rarities’ team of professional numismatists to provide an accurate appraisal based on the liquid value of your items – in person or via mail. In most cases what we offer on a rare coin or coin collection is the same value that we would appraise it for. An appraisal is an offer accompanied by a detailed, written evaluation of a coin collection, showing coins in proper groupings with valuation noted. If you would like to have us perform a free appraisal for you, or if you have any questions about our rare coin appraisal service, please feel free to contact us. American Rarities also provides appraisal services for banks, attorneys, insurance companies, fiduciaries, estate planners, etc.

Numismatic and Notaphily Conservation

American Rarities’ Appraisal Services can also include Numismatic and Paper Money Conservation. This is where we can re-holder and re-organize a rare coin collection. Flips and other plastic holders that we use in our hobby have a limited shelf life. A plastic flip only 6 years old can begin to harm the rare coin or paper currency note it was meant to protect. Don’t let PVC damage your rare coins! Many collections we see suffer heavy devaluation due to neglect – don’t let this happen to your valuable coin collection.
