Factors That Determine the Value of Your Coins
Understanding how coin values are determined helps you make informed decisions. Here is what affects your offer.
Metal Content (Intrinsic Value)
Precious metal coins, like gold and silver issues, carry value based on current spot prices. Even if a coin lacks rarity, its bullion value alone may be substantial.Condition (Grade)
The grade of a coin — from circulated to mint state — heavily impacts its worth. Coins in higher grades often command multiples of the same coin in worn condition.Rarity and Mintage
Lower mintage numbers or survival rates increase scarcity. A common-date Morgan Dollar may sell for its silver value, while a rare key date can fetch thousands.Historical Significance
Some coins hold added appeal for their historical context — Civil War-era coins, early mint issues, or those tied to notable events in U.S. history.Market Demand
Collector and investor interest changes over time. We track these trends closely to ensure your coins are priced according to current demand.Authentication and Grading
Coins certified by major grading services (PCGS, NGC, or ANACS) typically command higher prices due to the guaranteed authenticity and consistent grading.Eye Appeal
Luster, color, and overall appearance can increase desirability. Even two coins of the same grade can differ in value if one has stronger visual appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my coins are valuable?
Start by checking metal composition and mint marks. Coins made before 1965 often contain silver. Rare dates or mint marks like “CC” (Carson City) can boost value. The best approach is to bring them to Richmond Coin Buyers for a free professional appraisal.
Do you charge for appraisals?
No. All appraisals are completely free, whether or not you decide to sell. We believe knowledge should come without obligation.
Can I sell just a few coins?
Yes. We buy everything from single pieces to large collections. No collection is too small or too large for us to evaluate.
Do you buy graded coins?
Absolutely. We buy PCGS, NGC, and ANACS-certified coins. Graded coins often command higher prices, and we understand how to value them properly in today’s market.
What should I bring when I come in?
Bring your coins, any grading certificates, and related documentation such as purchase receipts or provenance information. These details can help us provide the most accurate valuation.
