HOW WE LOOK AT COINS
The metal is
only part
of their value.
A gold or silver coin may have collectible value beyond that of its metal. To identify it, we assess the coin as a whole.
Looking for investment gold instead?Identification
Which issue is it? We start by identifying the coin and placing it in context.
Rarity and condition
How readily available is it, and in what condition? Two similar pieces can have different characteristics.
Numismatic interest
Examining a coin helps distinguish its metal value from its appeal to collectors.
