What kind of appraisal, why do you need it? E.G., estate, insurance, liquidation? Give me your number, I'll call you to discuss options. I write very professional appraisals, and am meticulous in my research and description, provide value; can give you references or samples if you wish. I can also prepare a marketing/sales plan.

Q. I have a quick questions about Wheat pennies. I recently found a large amount of pennies left to me from my grandmother and i separated them out buy year looking for any of value. I went on line and seen the years that the pennies had value and culled them out. They are circulated and tarnished. Do you appraise coins like these or do they have to be mint condition

Pennies like that from circulation trade for about two cents apiece. We never find rare dates in them. So the short answer is yes unless they are in mint condition they are basically cents.

Q. I had inherited a file cabinet full of a stamp collection from my grandfather from over 20 years ago. Do you do evaluations of stamps? He was an avid collector and neither me or my kids really got into it.
