You can submit photographs through our Request an Evaluation form for a preliminary assessment. Clear images of both sides of the item, identifying marks, and any grading labels or documentation are helpful. Final values and purchase offers depend on an in-person inspection and market conditions at the time of the transaction.
Keep the items in their existing holders and condition, and gather any related paperwork or certificates. You do not need to identify everything before contacting us. We can help you understand the collection and discuss your options. We can also provide a detailed written inventory with estimated values if needed for an estate attorney or to assist with dividing items among family members.
Appraisals that take less than an hour are free. Longer appraisals may incur a fee depending on the amount of work required. We will discuss any applicable fee with you before proceeding.

We combine careful inspection with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) testing.
