The Steps of Appraising a Coin

If you have recently inherited a coin collection, you will want to have an idea of how much each silver or gold coin is worth before you put it up for sale. This will help you ensure that you get a fair price. Often, certified rare coins can be sold for much more than the current value of their gold or silver content.

When appraising a coin, look for any mint mistakes and assess the condition of the coin. Coins with little wear will be worth much more than those that have been handled and show signs of age. Watch this video for more information on assessing the value of collectible coins.
