What are your coins worth ?
We get calls all day asking us what a coin is worth. Often I can give you a price range on the phone & 99% of the time we can give you a very specific price if you send us a clear up close picture of the front and back of your coin. We will respond as soon as the store if free of customers, usually within 1 hour. Below is some information on how coins are valued and a list of the most common coins we see.
The value of any coin falls into these 4 categories
1. Numismatic Value - This means collectors want the coin because its rare, beautiful or some other aspect that drives collectors to buy them like errors or unique toning. Coins can have numismatic value if they are new, old - made in the US or any other country in the world. However if your coins were minted after 1970 they are most likely still face value - this includes Eisenhower, Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea dollars and Kennedy Half dollars. The actual value of your coin will be based on what collectors are currently paying for similar coins. We have access to the final sales from over 250 sources including eBay, Heritage Auctions, Stacks and others to determine the specific value of your coins.
2. Metal Content - If you coin contains silver or gold but its not rare or collectible the metal content will determine the value. We will identify and authenticate your coins to determine the actual value. Coins are a great way of investing in silver and gold.
3. Conversion Value - We can convert coins from over 50 countries. This means if your coins are not collectible and have no silver or gold in them you can still sell them. We have had customers bring in jars of coins that converted to several hundred US dollars. We first look for collectible coins and coins that have silver and gold in them - but if they don't fall into those categories we will tell you the conversion value to US money for your foreign coins.
4. Common and Damaged coins - Coins in this category are not very collectible and they have no precious metal in them, they are also no longer convertible. Many older European coins fall into this category because most countries switched over to the Euro and the deadline to convert your coins has passed. We still buy these coins as they can be used for arts and crafts projects or to give to our younger customers as they develop an interest in coins.
