Coin Buying

Coins are very interesting to buy, sell and research.  If you are a numismatist and enjoy collecting coins, we can help you select them for your collection or help in your collection management.  If you are in need of an appraisal for your coin collection, there are several main factors that affect value. These factors are:

• Rarity
• Demand
• Condition or grade

Rarity involves the number (or “mintage”) of coins or bills that were originally produced. Rarity also involves the number of those coins or bills that are still around today.

Demand varies according to the popularity and availability of a coin or bill.

Condition or grade involves: From “mint” or “uncirculated”  (no signs of wear) to “poor”. When a bill is in mint condition, it is worth more than the same bill in poor condition. There are specific standards that define what “mint”, “poor”, and other grades mean and those standards will be described in a report from a Southwest Appraisal Specialists appraisal.
