We make cash offers to purchase collections in their entirety. There is no obligation or risk to you should you decide not to sell at that time. Many appraisers make offers to buy only the most popular items they know they can resell quickly to turn a profit. PGS Gold & Coin will make an offer to purchase your entire collection and estate.
Upon agreement, payment is made to you by check, drawn on US funds for immediate deposit into your bank account, or direct cashing.
Upon request, cash payment can be made with a prior arrangement provided all verification and appropriate IRS requirements are met.

Other Items We Appraise:
All too often the spouses & children will sell a parent’s or grandparent’s treasured coin collection to a pawn shop or estate liquidator for just a fraction of its actual worth. This happens for many reasons including convenience, the grieving seller being taken advantage of by not knowing the contents or value of what has been passed on by your loved one.
