SUBMIT AN ITEM FOR FREE APPRAISAL
We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.
We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.
Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
Photo Criteria: Acceptable photo formats are gif, jpg, and png and no larger than 15 MB. If you are using an iPhone, make sure that the photo is not set to LIVE, as this format will be not be uploaded.

D. I also have 5 additional coins ranging from 1799 to 1804. I am tasked to obtain a estimate of value for each and trying to determine if it is a good decision to send to PCGS or NGC for evaluation?
This does not look real and I suspect you will lose good money trying to certify them. We can perform a proper appraisal for less if you bring them in with an appointment.
D. 1857 big one cent penny
It should not be greater in diameter than a modern cent. It's a flying eagle cent worth around $15.
D. Quarter on nickel planchet 5 gram weight
Everyone's an expert with the Internet. A nickel planchet would not show copper on the edge. This is heavily worn and if you're lucky you'll get face value.
D. 1857 big penny also flying eagle
I see one photo. If you also have a large cent that one is probably worth $10.
D. Spanish coin. Curious as to the year, type, and value of this coin. Is this a 1713 Lima 8 escudos? Appreciate your assistance, thanks!
I does look Like Peru 8 Escudo KM #38.1. This would suggest a value of $3,000-4,000. I don't like shooting from the hip, this is a coin that deserves proper study. The first thing I would do if you brought it in with an appointment would be to test it to make sure it is authentic and actually made out of gold. Then attribution would make sense.
D. 1974 Montreal Olympic $10 coin. Still in plastic case. Never been opened. Scratches in photo are on the case, not on the coin. I have 2 of these. Also 2 $5 coins and a 1993 Stanley Cup Proof Dollar. Thanks for any info you might be able to share.
The $5 has about $80 in silver, and the $10 has $160. To be blunt (we tell you now what you'll find out later), nobody cares. There's an over abundance of these in the market and dealers, if they are even taking it at all, are paying at most about 60% of this. But at least it's silver!
D. Looks like it's on both sides it's a 2016 Shawnee
Looks like the dark side of the moon, or scrap metal perhaps.
D. I have my grandmother's Alphonse Moto oil on canvas painting from 1960's-1970's era. Is in excellent condition except for a bit of wear and tear on the paper covering the back.
I believe he was a Congolese painter born in 1938. It's a nice piece, hard to sell. I'd call it $350 if I were doing an insurance appraisal, but if you can get $150 you can probably call yourself an art dealer. The market for secondary artists is weak.
D. 1922 peace dollar
A well worn example of the most common date we see. About $50.
