Why get an Online Antique Coin Appraisal?

Since the days of antiquity, people have been using currency for the exchange of goods and in the beginning, items used as money would have included axe heads, jewels, pieces of fabric and even shells. Around 650 BC, metal coins began to appear in Western Europe; these were small ingots of a specific size that were stamped with the city's mark. Rare coins and old bank notes can turn up just about anywhere and finding out just what they are worth could hold a positive surprise! In 2002, Sotheby’s auctioned a 1933 gold double eagle (a US coin worth $20) for a record-breaking $7.59 million. Other auction houses such as Christie’s, Bonhams and Spink also regularly sell rare coins and old bank notes for hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Maybe your old banknote or rare coin could find its way to the auction block too!

What determines the Value of a Collectable Coin?

Like any antique or collectible item, the value of your rare coin or old bank note will depend on factors including its age, condition, origin, weight and rarity. Our online specialist will consider all of these variables when determining the value of your rare coin or old bank note. We all love to hear stories of forgotten items being worth much more than their owners could have ever dreamed possible. On a recent episode of Antiques Roadshow filmed in Guernsey, a woman had a rare £1 bank note dated 1 January 1943 - during the German occupation of the island. After the occupation, her father had a carrier bag full of these bank notes and over the years, he either gave them away as little gifts or sold them one at a time to dealers for 'pocket money'. The appraiser explained that this was one of the rarest occupation bank notes in existence and this one - the last of the collection - was worth £3,000!
