Factors That Influence Coin Value

A coin’s value isn’t determined by a single feature. Our appraisals assess a holistic set of characteristics:

  1. Rarity: Scarcer coins fetch higher premiums.

  2. Condition (Grade): Coins are graded from Poor (P-1) to Perfect Uncirculated (MS-70).

  3. Demand: Collector interest and market trends directly affect value.

  4. Metal Content: Gold, silver, and platinum coins carry intrinsic bullion value.

  5. Authenticity: Counterfeit detection is crucial to assessing real value.

  6. Historical Significance: Coins from pivotal moments (e.g., Civil War) often carry added appeal.

  7. Mintage Numbers: Lower mintages typically equate to higher scarcity.

  8. Eye Appeal: Toning, luster, and strike can enhance desirability.

Our experts combine these factors to provide a precise valuation, helping you make informed decisions.
