The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides coin and numismatic appraisals for estate tax reporting, charitable donations, insurance coverage, divorce proceedings, and probate, as a specialized subset of our personal property appraisal work.
What drives value
Our appraisers evaluate individual coins, complete sets, and large numismatic collections with the precision these assets demand, accounting for grade, mint mark, provenance, and current market conditions.
Purposes we serve
We prepare coin appraisals for the filings and proceedings a collector, estate, or advisor is most likely to face:
How we work
Most coin appraisals are completed remotely using detailed photographs and documentation. We coordinate onsite inspection for large collections, high-value rarities, or situations that require physical examination of condition and authenticity.
We appraise the full range of numismatic assets, because coin collections vary widely in composition, era, and value, whether the collection is being reported for an estate, donated, or insured.
U.S. and world coinage
Morgan dollars, Walking Liberty halves, and early American coinage; commemoratives, proof sets, and uncirculated sets; and coins from international mints and historical periods:
Gold, silver, and grading
American Eagles, Saint-Gaudens double eagles, pre-1933 U.S. gold, silver dollars and junk silver lots, plus coins in PCGS, NGC, or ANACS holders and raw coins needing an independent condition assessment:
Currency and estates
We also appraise currency and paper money, including obsolete notes, Federal Reserve notes, and Confederate currency, and numismatic collections assembled as part of an estate or trust.
We serve individual collectors, families managing estates, and donors contributing coins to charitable organizations, alongside the attorneys, CPAs, and estate professionals who need qualified, independent valuations for legal and tax purposes.
Collectors and families
Individual collectors documenting what they hold, families managing an estate that includes coins, and donors contributing coins to a charitable organization.
Attorneys and CPAs
Attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, and estate professionals engage us when a filing or proceeding needs an independent opinion of value for coins.
What coins appraisal clients say we are known for
Across 23 published coins appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
We had an excellent experience working with AppraiseItNow. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. They took the time to understand our specific needs and delivered a detailed and accurate appraisal that was well organized and easy to understand. Communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer our questions and provided thoughtful explanations whenever we needed more clarity. Their attention to detail and strong market knowledge gave us complete confidence in the final report. It’s clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely care about providing high-quality service. We would absolutely recommend AppraiseItNow to any business or property owner looking for a reliable and professional appraisal company. Five stars all the way.
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗

Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Through comparable sales of the same series, date, mint mark, variety, and grade, adjusted for premiums, buyer’s fees, and market movement. The standard references are the PCGS and NGC price guides plus realized prices from auction archives such as Heritage, which carry more weight than dealer asking prices. For bullion coins, the metal content is priced separately from any collector premium.
Yes. Grade is often the single most powerful value driver, and one-point moves on the Sheldon scale can cause large price swings near threshold grades such as VF/XF, AU/MS, or MS65/MS66. That is why the report states whether the coin is raw or certified and identifies the grading standard applied.
Never. Cleaning, polishing, or sanding alters the surfaces and is a major value reducer that graders and buyers detect readily. Keep original holders, collection tickets, pedigrees, and prior sale paperwork too, because they support authenticity and provenance.
Denomination, date, mint mark, variety, condition, authenticity, and provenance, supported by front and back photographs plus edge and mint mark close-ups where relevant. It should note wear, spots, cleaning, or repairs, and value collector coins on grade-matched market evidence rather than face value, melt value, or generic book figures.
No. Insurance appraisals typically use retail replacement values, which run materially above fair market value because they reflect replacing the coin through a dealer channel. The same coin can carry different values for estate, donation, sale, and insurance purposes, so the report must state which definition it uses.
