The value of a coin is determined by a combination of expert assessment and current market analysis. Our numismatists carefully examine each object for rarity, quality, historical context and collective importance. Feel free to visit us or submit clear photos for an initial review. During a visit, we take the time to explain your collection and discuss which pieces may be special or valuable.
