Accurate market data from the U.S. and international auctions
Authentication through third-party grading services

U.S. Coins: Pre-1933 gold coins, Morgan and Peace Dollars, early copper cents, and more
World Coins: British sovereigns, early European silver and gold issues, colonial coins
Ancient Coins: Roman, Greek, and Byzantine specimens

We evaluate both individual coins and large-scale collections, including inherited estates, investment portfolios, or museum holdings.
Factors That Influence Coin Value
Several variables impact the value of a coin, including:
Rarity: Scarcity in the market plays a critical role in valuation.
Condition/Grade: Coins are evaluated on a scale from Poor (P-1) to Mint State (MS-70), often certified by grading agencies like PCGS or NGC.
Demand: Trends among collectors and investors can raise or reduce a coin’s desirability.
Metal Content: The intrinsic value of gold, silver, or platinum contributes to the base value.
Provenance: Coins with known historical ownership or from famous collections can command premiums.
Market Timing: Auction cycles and global economic conditions can influence pricing.
Our experts are trained to assess each of these elements with precision to ensure you receive a fair and informed valuation.
