All appraisal reports are prepared by qualified appraisers with expertise in numismatics and personal property valuation. Each report is reviewed for accuracy and USPAP compliance before delivery.

Are there any Idaho-specific regulations for Coins appraisals?

Idaho does not require coin appraisers to hold a state license, as numismatic appraisal falls outside the real estate appraiser regulations overseen by the Idaho Real Estate Appraiser Board. Appraisers in this field rely on voluntary certifications from organizations such as the American Numismatic Association. Idaho precious metals dealers do maintain transaction records that can help verify coin provenance during an appraisal.

Do you prepare appraisals for IRS Form 8283 (Noncash Charitable Contributions)?

Yes, we prepare qualified appraisals that satisfy IRS requirements for Form 8283. For donated coins valued over $5,000, a qualified appraisal is required, and our reports are structured to meet that federal standard.

Do you buy, sell, or broker Coins?

No, AppraiseItNow is an independent appraisal firm only. We do not buy, sell, or broker coins, which ensures our valuations remain objective and conflict-free.

What information do you need to get started?

To begin, we typically need clear photographs of your coins, any available documentation such as purchase receipts or prior appraisals, and a brief description of your appraisal purpose. Our team will guide you through the submission process from there.

Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts in Idaho?

Yes, our USPAP-compliant appraisals are prepared to meet the acceptance standards of the IRS, insurance companies, and Idaho courts. We document methodology, value conclusions, and appraiser qualifications to support use in any formal proceeding.

Does Idaho's sales tax exemption on bullion affect my coin appraisal?

Idaho exempts precious metal bullion and monetized bullion from sales tax, but this does not change how coins are appraised. Appraisals focus on fair market value based on numismatic and melt value factors, independent of tax treatment.

How did Idaho's 2025 capital gains change affect coin values?

In 2025, House Bill 40 eliminated capital gains taxes on gold and silver sales in Idaho, which can increase the after-tax realized value for sellers. This change does not alter appraisal methodology, but it is a relevant factor for owners planning a sale or estate distribution.

What IRS thresholds apply to coin appraisals for Idaho estates and donations?

Federal rules under IRS Publication 561 require a qualified appraisal for donated property valued over $5,000, reported on Form 8283. Idaho follows federal guidelines without state-level overrides, so these thresholds apply uniformly to Idaho residents.
