Tips for Coins & Medals Auctions

  • 01Grade is everything — learn the Sheldon scale for coins and verify condition claims against high-resolution photos
  • 02Named medal groups with verified service records command enormous premiums over unnamed singles of the same campaign
  • 03Beware cleaned coins — artificial brightening destroys the original patina and can reduce value by 50% or more
