This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
Many times, when determining a rare coins value, there tends to be a lengthy laundry list of qualifiers one must address. A rare coins value can become a highly subjective thing and determining a rare coins value has created many passionate debates among highly respected numismatists with many years of experience to rely upon. One of the biggest determining factors on that laundry list of qualifiers is finding an active market that will be reflective of that rare coins value. A coin can be a singular, unique rarity but if nobody is interested in the coin, the rare coins value could be nothing at all. Once a coin is identified as a rare coin, it then becomes subjected to several levels of scrutiny from the trained eye of a coin professional so that the rare coins value can be properly assessed. Authenticating a rare coin is generally the first step in this process as many coins from both the U.S., as well as countries from around the world, have been counterfeited. Unfortunately, much like in any collectible world, the state of counterfeiting has grown in direct proportion to the markets themselves, often leaving a rare coins value and authenticity in question.
