Question: Should I polish or clean my coins before I bring them in?

Answer: NO. We advise NO CLEANING of any item in all of the fields in which we specialize. You will never receive less for your item because it is dirty, but you may destroy thousands of dollars in value if you clean it. Originality is key in the field of Numismatics.

Question: What is Bullion?

Answer: Bullion is a general term used to describe coins, bars or ingots made of precious metal, whose value is based on the current value of that metal. Intended primarily as investment products, these items rarely have a collectible value that exceeds their intrinsic metal value. Examples of popular bullion products are: American Gold Eagle, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, and Johnson Matthey Silver Bars.

Question: What is a Numismatic coin?

Answer: Numismatic coins are coins whose value is based on their “collectible” or “rare coin” value. As opposed to Bullion coins, whose value is closely tied to their metal content, Numismatic coins are often worth many times more than their metal value. Most Numismatic coins were used as legal tender at one point in time.

Question: What is a Certified Coin?

Answer: A certified coin has been professionally graded by a third-party grading company, and sonically sealed with an identifying label in a clear hard plastic holder. The label contains all of the information about the coin, including the condition or “grade”. There are many grading companies but only two have maintained the highest standards for consistently grading numismatic coins: NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) and PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). As premiere rare coin dealers in Los Angeles we can assist you in buying, selling, appraising and grading all numismatic coins.
