Uninformed people usually think that coins are valued only by their face value and historical value. But experts in the field of numismatics - professional dealers in the real estate market and experienced collectors - always pay attention to the condition or degree of preservation of the coins.

The condition of coins is a criterion distinguished for collection and commercial purposes, which shows:

  • presence of wear;
  • the degree of their wear;
  • other types of damage and defects (loss of standard weight or mechanical damage).

To determine the collectible (or numismatic) value, the difference between the price of the metal (face value) and the amount that collectors determine for it, taking into account the above data, is calculated.

A coin is an item that is in constant use throughout a person’s life; rare specimens are lovingly kept in ideal conditions and survive to this day unchanged. Therefore, you rarely see them in good condition on the market. They have a very high numismatic value compared to similar poorly preserved specimens.

Even a small difference in condition can sometimes mean a major difference in their collectible value.

Recently, the degree of wear and tear has increasingly adjusted their collectible price, and experts are trying to evaluate them as accurately as possible, taking into account all the details.

We present a unique free service for expert assessment of coins by our specialists. To apply for online coin valuation using photos, follow the link below.

What criteria does the expert use to determine the cost?

  • Safety. A heavily worn example with unreadable symbols and unpreserved relief is inferior in price to a coin in good condition. Even we're talking about about rare and gold specimens. The exception is coins with patina, a natural film that covers bronze and copper over time.
  • Year of minting. Everything is simple here: the older the currency, the higher its value. Will help determine the date of manufacture and authenticity online assessment old coins.
  • Features of coinage. If you take two samples released in the same edition, then one may cost more than the other. This is due to the fact that different stamps and devices for obtaining impressions are used for minting. These differences can often only be seen by an experienced appraiser.
  • Limited edition. Every numismatist dreams of getting a rare piece into a private collection. As a result, large sums are offered for such samples.
  • Demand on the antique market. It is important to understand that the cost monetary units influence economic situation and their popularity among collectors. Therefore, it is impossible to set the real price yourself, unless you are a professional numismatist. The evaluation of royal coins and monetary units of other periods should be carried out by specialists.
