Is Your Coin Collection Sitting on a Gold Mine? Why Now is the Time to Appraise and Sell

Don’t Sell Your Coins Short: The Power of an Auction

Have you recently looked through an old desk drawer or a safe deposit box and found a collection of dusty coins? Whether they were passed down through generations or were a personal hobby from years ago, those coins might be worth significantly more than their face value today.

With gold and silver prices currently hovering at all-time highs, the "melt value" of many coins has skyrocketed. However, before you consider selling to a local pawn shop, an estate sale, or a "we buy gold" kiosk, there is something you should know: the collector value often far exceeds the weight of the metal.

The Farmer Auctions Difference: Expertise You Can Trust

At Farmer Auctions, we don't just see metal; we see history, rarity, and opportunity. Our team includes some of the region’s most highly experienced appraisers, including Mr. Robert Wall, our lead coin and currency expert, who has been grading coins for over 20 years. As a long-standing member of the American Numismatic Association, Mr. Wall has the specialized eye required to spot a rare mint mark or a unique die variety that a generalist might miss. In our past auctions, this expertise has helped discover hidden gems—like the 1911-D Indian $2.50 Gold Coin or rare Morgan Dollars—that resulted in record-breaking prices for our clients.

Why Sell via Auction?

When you sell to a private dealer or have an estate sale, you are often getting a single "take it or leave it" offer. When you hold an auction/estate sale with Farmer Auctions, you put your collection in front of a global audience of competitive bidders.

  • Market Momentum: Precious metals are in the news, and buyer demand for silver Eagles, gold Saint-Gaudens, and "junk silver" (pre-1965 US coins) is at a fever pitch.
  • Competitive Bidding: Our online-only auction platform allows collectors from across the country to bid against one another, driving the price up to the true market ceiling.
  • Professional Presentation: We handle the high-resolution photography, professional cataloging, and marketing, ensuring your collection looks its best to potential buyers.
