Who prepares the appraisal report?
Your report is prepared by a qualified appraiser with expertise in numismatics and personal property valuation. All appraisers working through AppraiseItNow follow USPAP guidelines and have relevant credentials for the coin types being appraised.
Are there any South Carolina-specific regulations for Coins appraisals?
South Carolina does not require a special license to perform coin appraisals, as no dedicated numismatic appraiser regulations exist under state law. Note that precious metals dealers operating in South Carolina must obtain permits under SC Code Section 40-54, but those rules govern buying and selling, not appraisals.
Do you prepare appraisals for IRS Form 8283 (Noncash Charitable Contributions)?
Yes, we prepare appraisals that meet IRS requirements for Form 8283, which is required when donating coins or other noncash property valued above $500. Our reports include all information the IRS requires for a qualified appraisal.
Do you buy, sell, or broker Coins?
No, AppraiseItNow is strictly an appraisal firm. We do not buy, sell, or broker coins, which means our valuations are fully independent and free from any conflict of interest.
What information do you need to get started?
To begin, we typically need clear photographs of your coins, any known provenance or purchase records, and basic details about the purpose of the appraisal. You can submit this information through our online intake process, and we will follow up if anything additional is needed.
Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts in South Carolina?
Yes, our USPAP-compliant reports are prepared to meet the standards required by the IRS, insurance companies, and South Carolina courts. We tailor the value type, whether Fair Market Value, Replacement Value, or Actual Cash Value, to match the specific purpose of your appraisal.
What is the difference between numismatic coins and bullion coins for tax purposes in South Carolina?
South Carolina exempts legal tender coins, including U.S. and foreign bullion coins valued primarily for their precious metal content, from state sales tax. Numismatic coins valued beyond their metal content due to rarity, condition, or age are subject to sales tax as collectible items.
What records must a South Carolina precious metals dealer keep when buying coins?
Under SC Code Section 40-54, dealers must record the seller's name, address, a valid photo identification such as a driver's license or South Carolina voter registration card, and the seller's signature at the time of purchase. Dealers also cannot purchase from minors without a parent or guardian present, and all records are subject to law enforcement review.
Are coins subject to the mandatory hold period that applies to other precious metals in South Carolina?
South Carolina law requires precious metals dealers to hold purchased items at their place of business for a set period before reselling or altering them, but coins are explicitly exempt from this hold requirement. The hold rule exists to help law enforcement verify ownership and prevent the fencing of stolen goods.
