What is my coin collection worth?
What Determines the Value of Old Coins ?
There are several factors used when evaluating a coins value . The key factors to consider is the exact date of your coin, mint mark and condition. These factors alone are key to determine your coin's value.also the current marketability of the coin. Please note with any collectible coins included! Book value vs true value....True value is what a willing buyer is willing to offer...not what a book or price guide states.. please understand that the buyer is pledging cash! For an item who's value can decrease or be hard to sell..So there is risk to the buyer, and for that risk there need to be compensation.... A wise old man once told me ”the only value something has is what someone is willing to pay you". Look below to see if you have these rare coins to sell. call for an appointment 951-686-2122.
Disclaimer: These are indications, prices can very substantially, due to current market conditions, supply and demand for a particular coins. and willing buyers availability. Please call for an appointment so we can evaluate your Numismatic coins.
