Do Not Break Up The Collection First
Keep groups, albums and documentation together until they are reviewed.
A collection may have been assembled over decades. Original holders, albums, receipts, grading labels and groupings can help bidders understand it.
Photograph Clearly
Wide views show scope; close-ups of better pieces, grading labels and sets help the initial review.
Market to Collectors
Good descriptions and organized lots help serious bidders understand what they are competing for.
What To Preserve
Documentation can be part of the story.
Do not clean coins or remove them from holders simply to take a better photograph. Keep original boxes, albums, labels and records together.
Useful information for a collection review
- Approximate number of albums, boxes or graded pieces
- Gold, silver or bullion holdings
- Certified coins and grading services represented
- Complete or nearly complete sets
- Key-date or high-grade pieces you already know about
- Receipts, inventory notes or provenance
Common Questions
Questions about selling coins and bullion
Should I clean old coins before selling them?
No. Cleaning can damage surfaces and collector appeal.
Do I need to identify every coin first?
No. A general overview, clear photographs and any existing inventory are enough to start.
Can bullion and collectible coins be sold in the same auction?
Yes, when appropriate, though they may be grouped or marketed differently.
Do graded coins need to stay in their holders?
Yes. Keep certified coins in their holders and photograph labels clearly.
Can you handle coins from an estate?
Yes. Estate representatives can begin with photographs and a description of how the collection is stored.
