Numismatic Appraisal Standards

How We Appraise Your Coins: The 5 Pillars of Numismatic Value.

Coin appraisal is far more than simply weighing metal. We evaluate both intrinsic precious metal bullion melt value and historical collector scarcity to ensure you receive the true maximum value for your collection.

01

Metal Purity & Bullion Weight

Every precious metal coin begins with its intrinsic bullion value. We accurately determine the exact pure gold, silver, or platinum content based on 22ct Crown Gold (.9167), 24ct Fine Gold (.9999), or Britannia silver (.958/.999).

Evaluation Metric
Gross weight, specific gravity, troy ounce pure metal calculation
02

Year, Mintmark & Die Variety

Branch mintmarks (e.g. 'M' for Melbourne, 'SA' for Pretoria) and specific low-mintage years can multiply a coin’s value far beyond its melt price. Our numismatists examine reverse fields and date spacing under magnification.

Evaluation Metric
Mintage figures, branch mint letters, die alignment & errors
03

Strike Grade & Surface Preservation

A coin’s physical condition has an exponential effect on price. We assess wear on monarch portrait high points, original cartwheel mint luster, hairline bagmarks, contact dings, and mirror-finish cameo contrasts on proof strikes.

Evaluation Metric
Sheldon 1–70 grading scale, luster retention, field contact marks
04

Packaging, COA & Slab Certification

Coins certified in NGC or PCGS tamper-proof slabs, or preserved in original Royal Mint velvet cases with their official numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA), command higher secondary premiums from collectors.

Evaluation Metric
NGC/PCGS slab serial, Royal Mint booklet COA, original capsules
05

Live LBMA Spot & Numismatic Benchmark

Our dual-valuation model combines real-time London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) precious metal spot rates with recent realized prices from premier UK coin auctions (Spink, Baldwin's, Dix Noonan Webb).

Evaluation Metric
Live LBMA spot floor price + collector auction rarity premium
Raw & Uncertified Coins
