Home Appointments – Trusted In-Home Coin Appraisals
Our in-home service brings expert coin evaluation directly to your door. Whether you’re liquidating an inherited collection, downsizing your portfolio, or simply curious about the value of your coins, Richmond Coin Buyers provides professional appraisals in the privacy of your home.
Here’s why our home appointment service stands out:
Certified coin specialists visit you personally, ensuring accuracy and integrity.
No obligation to sell. You receive a transparent evaluation before making any decisions.
Private and secure process. We protect your confidentiality at every step.
Convenience and comfort. You can stay home and still receive the same professional service we offer in-store.
Our clients appreciate that our appraisers arrive fully equipped with precision tools, grading references, and current market data to provide immediate, on-the-spot valuations. This is particularly useful for individuals with large collections or rare items that require delicate handling.
Why Choose Home Appointments?
Let’s break it down. There are several reasons why Richmond residents prefer our discreet in-home coin appraisal service over visiting a storefront or shipping their items elsewhere.
1. Privacy and Security
Some clients own rare or high-value coins they prefer to keep confidential. A home visit ensures your items never leave your possession until you decide to sell. This approach eliminates the risk of shipping loss or third-party handling.
2. Convenience
If you have a large or bulky collection, transporting it can be time-consuming and risky. Our home appointment saves you the hassle. We come to you, equipped to evaluate everything from silver dollars to proof sets and bullion.
3. Personalized Service
During a home visit, you have our full attention. We take the time to discuss your collection’s history, explain grading criteria, and walk you through our valuation process. This level of engagement helps you make informed choices.
4. No-Pressure Evaluations
Unlike online buyers or pawn shops, we never rush you into selling. Our appraisers provide clear market data and recent price trends so you can decide what’s best for you.
5. Local Expertise
As a local Richmond business, we understand the area’s collector community and current market dynamics. Many residents prefer to deal with professionals who live and work nearby rather than distant online platforms.
How It Works
Selling your coins through a home appointment is simple and transparent. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect.
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
Call or message Richmond Coin Buyers to set a convenient date and time. Our team will confirm your location and ask a few questions about your collection to match you with the right appraiser.
Step 2: Meet Our Appraiser
On the day of your appointment, one of our professional coin buyers will arrive at your home. They will carry identification and necessary tools, including coin scales, grading references, and magnification equipment.
Step 3: On-Site Evaluation
We carefully inspect your coins using industry-standard grading guidelines, such as the Sheldon Scale. We verify authenticity, assess condition, and check current market values based on live spot prices and recent auction results.
Step 4: Transparent Offer
After completing the evaluation, you’ll receive a clear cash offer based on your collection’s fair market value. We explain how each figure is calculated and provide a breakdown for rare, bullion, and collectible pieces.
Step 5: Immediate Payment
If you choose to sell, you receive instant payment on the spot—cash, check, or bank transfer—depending on your preference. You’ll also receive a purchase receipt for your records.
Step 6: Follow-Up Support
Even after your appointment, we remain available for further questions or appraisals. Many clients choose to schedule additional visits as they uncover more coins or precious metals over time.
