What Happens When You Inherit a Coin Collection

We walk you through every step — no coin knowledge required.

1

Bring It As-Is

Don't clean, sort, or throw anything away before your evaluation. Even coins that look worthless can have significant numismatic value. Bring everything exactly as you found it.

2

Free Professional Evaluation

Our licensed specialists evaluate every coin individually. We explain what each piece is, what it's worth, and why — in plain language, no jargon.

3

Transparent Offer

We show you exactly how we calculated your offer. You'll see the spot price, the numismatic value, and our percentage — nothing hidden, nothing rushed.

4

Same-Day Payment

If you choose to accept our offer, you leave with payment the same day. No waiting, no follow-up calls, no uncertainty.

Types of Inherited Coins We Buy

Whether your collection is worth $50 or $50,000 — we treat every evaluation with the same care and professionalism.

Silver Dollars

Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, and Trade dollars are among the most commonly inherited coins. Many are worth significantly more than face value.

Gold Coins

Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins including Saint-Gaudens double eagles, Indian Head coins, and Liberty Head coins evaluated at full numismatic and melt value.

Wheat Pennies & Old Cents

Commonly found in inherited collections. Key dates and high-grade examples can be worth hundreds — we check every one.

Proof & Mint Sets

Original government-issued proof sets and mint sets from the 1950s through today. Value depends on date, condition, and completeness.

Foreign & World Coins

Many inherited collections include foreign coins in gold and silver. We evaluate all world coins at current international market rates.

Paper Currency & Silver Certificates

Old U.S. bills, silver certificates, and gold certificates are often found alongside coin collections and can carry significant collector value.

The most important thing we can tell you before your visit

Cleaning coins — even gently — destroys their original surface and can reduce their value by 50 to 90 percent. A Morgan dollar worth $200 in original condition can drop to $20 after cleaning. Please bring inherited coins exactly as you found them, even if they look dirty or tarnished. The patina on old coins is part of their value, not a flaw.
