By Coins Plus
If you’ve recently inherited a rare coin collection from a loved one, you may be wondering what to do next. Do you scour the Internet to try to decipher the coins’ value? (Which is a daunting task without specialized knowledge.) Do you ask another relative for storage advice? At Coins Plus, we recommend you start by consulting one of our coin appraisal specialists. With a dedication to service and over 100 years of combined experience, our team will be able to address all your questions in one easy appointment.
For example, taking your newly inherited collectible in for a coin appraisal will help you:
- Identify the Coin: As any coin collector will attest, half the fun of obtaining new coins is learning about its history. However, if you’re new to the hobby, this task can be quite daunting. Luckily, our coin dealers are well versed in numismatics and can answer all your questions
- Determine Its Value: Whether you’re interested in selling your coins or you just want to delve deeper into their history, a coin appraisal can also help you ascertain the collectibles’ monetary worth. Typically, we’ll look at three factors: authenticity, precious metal content, and most importantly, rarity. Then, we’ll give you an accurate, honest price. If you then choose to sell we will pay you immediately, no waiting for your money when dealing with Coins Plus.
- Handle It Properly: Even if you’re not interested in selling, you should still have the collection appraised. Not only will it give you an understanding of the value, but we will also teach you how to care for your collection in the long term. During your appointment, our coin dealers will show you proper handling and storage techniques to keep your collection safe.
