In plain words

Leave it as it is
Please don’t clean coins or soak stamps off paper. Bring albums, boxes and envelopes just as they were kept.
Pick a time
Ask for a look-through at the counter, free and usually 30 to 60 minutes. For more than a few boxes, we come to you, free within 30 miles.
Go through it together
We sort it with you and tell you what we know about each part, including what we would not buy and why.
Decide in your own time
We offer for all of it or part of it. Say yes and we pay by check the same day; say no and it all goes home with you.

Can you tell me what my coins are worth?

We tell you what we know about each piece and what we would pay for it. We don’t write appraisals or grade coins for sale somewhere else.

Should I clean my coins first?

Please don’t. Cleaning leaves marks that cannot be undone. Bring them as they are, in whatever they live in.

Do I have to sell everything?

No. Sell the part you don’t want, keep the rest, or take it all home. Plenty of people only come to find out what they have.

We come to you and look through it at your table, free within 30 miles.
