My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!
For thousands of years, nations from every corner of the globe have minted coins. And with each new political shift came new leaders to adorn those coins, leaving the collectible coin market saturated with millions upon millions of varieties of foreign coins. Foreign world coin values can often be a difficult world to navigate for this reason, as well as for the following reason: since as long as coins have been minted there has been an abundance of counterfeit coins to match. Foreign world coin values really have to start with precious metal content. For many years, foreign nations, as well as the United States, have ceased adding any precious metal to coins, especially leaving the foreign world coin values at a scarce minimum. The United States has always been a bear market when it comes to foreign world coin values and especially with foreign coins made of base metals. Most dealers put the foreign world coin values at a per pound basis, meaning that any foreign coin that is not exchangeable and that doesn’t have any precious metal in it, is put into a bin and weighed with other, similar coins to determine the foreign world coin values.
