Why Coin Knowledge Matters
A gold or silver coin may be worth more than the metal it contains.
Its date, mint mark, condition, rarity, variety and collector demand can create additional numismatic value. Original packaging, certification and even old envelopes or handwritten notes can also provide useful information.
A buyer focused primarily on precious-metal weight may not provide the same type of evaluation as an experienced coin dealer. This distinction becomes especially important with inherited collections, where valuable coins may be mixed with common pieces.
Before selling a collection, make sure the coins are examined for both precious-metal value and potential collector value.
Free, Detailed Written Appraisals
Tri-State Rare Coins provides free, detailed written appraisals for individual items, complete collections and estates.
A written appraisal can help you:
Understand what is in an inherited collection
Identify coins that deserve individual attention
Document items for estate or insurance purposes
Divide a collection among family members
Make a more informed decision about selling
Keep a useful record for the future
We explain our findings clearly and answer your questions without unnecessary jargon. When appropriate, we can also make a competitive purchase offer based on current market conditions.
You are never required to sell simply because we evaluated your items.
What Should You Do Before Visiting?
The best preparation is often to leave the collection alone.
Do not clean, polish or remove coins from their holders. Cleaning can permanently reduce a collectible coin's value, even when the coin appears brighter afterward.
Keep original holders, albums, boxes, mint packaging, certificates, envelopes and family notes with the collection. These materials may help us understand how the collection was assembled.
You do not need to organize everything beforehand. A mixed box or inherited collection can be brought to us exactly as you received it.
What Happens During an Evaluation?
We Review the Collection
Our team examines the coins and related items for rarity, condition, authenticity, precious-metal content and collector demand.
We Explain the Important Pieces
We identify items that deserve special attention and explain why they may be significant.
We Provide a Written Appraisal
When requested, we provide a detailed written record of our evaluation.
You Decide What to Do
You can keep the collection, seek another opinion or consider an offer from us. The decision remains entirely yours.
