You've inherited a collection and have no idea what you're looking at. We'll walk you through it, explain what's valuable and why, and help you make informed decisions.

Executors & Personal Representatives

You're managing an estate and need accurate valuations for probate or asset division. We provide clear, defendable appraisals that hold up in court.

Estate Attorneys

You need an independent expert who understands legal requirements and can provide timely, professional valuations. We've worked with dozens of estate attorneys across Ohio.

Trustees & CPAs

You're handling trust assets or tax filings and need fair market valuations from a credible source. Our reports meet professional standards.

Trust Companies & Bank Officers

You're managing estate assets for multiple stakeholders. We provide institutional-grade service with the discretion and documentation you require.

Our Estate Services

Bring in the collection or call us with photos. We'll give you a clear assessment of what you have and approximate value—no charge for straightforward collections.

Written Appraisals for Probate

Formal, dated appraisals suitable for estate settlement, asset division, insurance, or tax purposes. Our reports follow professional standards and are trusted by courts and attorneys.

Fair Market Liquidation

If selling is the best option, we provide competitive offers based on current market conditions. Payment is immediate upon acceptance.

Consultation & Guidance

Not sure what to do? We'll help you understand your options—sell now, divide among heirs, donate, or hold for later.

What We Handle

We appraise and purchase complete coin collections (U.S. and world coins), bullion, jewelry, sterling flatware, paper money and currency collections, luxury watches (Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, etc.), collectibles, and memorabilia.

From single items to six-figure estates, we handle everything with professionalism and discretion.

Our Process

Bring items to our shop, send photos, or schedule an on-site visit. We'll review the collection and discuss your goals and timeline.

We examine each item carefully—testing purity, checking rarity, and referencing current auction results and market data.

We explain what you have, what it's worth, and how we determine value. You'll understand the "why" behind every number—no jargon, no rushing.

Sell, get a written appraisal, or simply gather information—the choice is entirely yours. No pressure, ever.

If you sell, you receive immediate payment. If you need a written appraisal, we provide a formal document suitable for legal or tax purposes.

Common Questions from Estate Sellers

How do I know if the coins are valuable?

Bring them in. We'll sort through everything, identify key dates and rarities, and explain what has value beyond metal content.

Should I clean the coins first?

No. Cleaning coins almost always reduces their value. Bring them as-is.

What if the collection is disorganized?

That's normal. We'll help you sort and organize as part of the evaluation process.

How long does the process take?

Verbal appraisals typically take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on collection size. Written appraisals are usually completed within a week.

Do I have to sell it to you?

Absolutely not. Our appraisals give you the information you need to make informed decisions—whether you sell to us, sell elsewhere, divide among heirs, or hold.
