Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.
Rare coin values can be a highly tricky and subjective arena to navigate within the numismatic universe. To determine a rare coin value means to place an extreme measure of scrutiny to the piece and is usually done through the eyes of many coin professionals collectively working together to come up with a final appraisal. Every coin professional can generally recite the key dates or better dates from any series of U.S. coins and many have a much broader knowledge when it comes to foreign coins. Once identifying a coin as being a rare coin within a series, it then becomes a painstaking process looking for minting flaws, wear patterns, surface scratches and marks, rim damage, evidence of cleaning, stage of circulation and, finally, pouring over the finer details of the coin. If many of these qualifiers are evident in a particular key date or better date coin, it could disqualify it as being a rare coin. Many times even the most minute detail can affect the rare coin value dramatically. If a rare coin is discovered to be in an uncirculated state, just the slightest scratch could be the difference of hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the final determination of that rare coin value.
