In this blog post we discuss the key elements that make a coin rare, collectable, and valuable.

  • Precious Metal – Gold/Silver/Platinum

  • Specific Dates and Mint Mark (a letter indicating where the coin was made)

  • Demand – How many collectors want the coin

  • Condition – Original, unaltered, uncleaned. Better condition, better value.

  • Eye Appeal – Is the coin appearance above average?

  • Original vs. Cleaned Condition– Cleaned coins are worth a small fraction of the value of original coins.

  • Varieties, Errors, Mistakes – Mint errors are often highly collectible.

About the author

Corporate Conversion

Corporate Conversion

I have acquired numismatic expertise through decades of intense study and research. I  have visited hundreds of coin shows and shops in the quest for knowledge. During my travels, I personally witnessed unsuspecting families selling valuable coins, gold and silver at a fraction of fair value.

Years ago, friends and family began asking me to evaluate their collections, often inherited from parents, and to help them sell their collections. What started as a trickle became an avalanche, so I converted my passionate hobby into a full-time business, Mullen Coins LLC.
