Preparing before you meet with a coin dealer can help you get the most accurate valuation and a better chance of a successful sale.

Important preparation steps include:

• Gather your coins – Keep them in protective holders or cases to prevent damage.
• Collect documentation – Bring receipts, grading certificates, and any historical details.
• Know your collection – Identify mint dates, origins, and any special features.
• Research market trends – Check recent sales of similar coins to understand current values.
• Set realistic expectations – Understand that market demand and condition will impact pricing.

Taking these steps ensures you have the information a dealer needs to provide a precise evaluation. It also helps you make confident decisions when considering offers.
