Common category questions Open to read answers

Can a mixed collection be assessed as one group?

Yes. Photograph the whole group and selected details first; it can then be divided into coins, banknotes, stamps, porcelain and gold for assessment.

Do I have to visit in person?

A preliminary review can usually begin from photographs. Important items, fragile porcelain or a large collection may require an appointment for inspection.

Do you only consider key collectibles?

No. The first step is to separate key items from common material so that a scarcer item is not treated as part of an ordinary batch.

Is valuation charged, and must I sell after an appraisal?

You may provide the information first to understand the valuation process. Any inspection and related arrangements can be discussed after the material is reviewed.

How should I photograph an entire mixed collection?

Start with the whole group, then photograph both sides and details of likely key items. Add porcelain base marks, coin edges and banknote watermarks.
