How to Know if You Have a Rare Coin In Glendale, Arizona

Collecting pawn coins in Glendale is not just a fun hobby; it can also be a lucrative one. If you stumble upon a rare coin, it could be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars (more in rare cases). Part of the fun is the thrill of the hunt and the gamble. Sometimes you don’t know what a coin is really worth until after you’ve bought it and taken the time to research it. You could have a rare coin in your collection right now and not even know it. If you live in Glendale, you have a lot of excellent options for not only buying coins but also researching them, such as your local Glendale rare coin shop. Here are a few things you can do to find out if you have a rare coin:

Check Guide Books

Many guide books are available with updated values of coins. “A Guide Book of United States Coins” and the Whitman Publications book (the “Redbook”) are two of the most popular guides. You can also check coin collecting magazines and websites. Guide books are a good place to start, but they can’t give you comprehensive information. They can let you know if you’ve got a rare coin, but they can’t always let you know a clear value. So much depends on the condition of your exact coin. The books can only give you general guidelines for value, but the value of your exact coin can vary significantly.

Take It to a Coin Appraiser

An rare coin appraiser can inspect your coin in person and let you know if you have a rare coin and how much its approximate value is. The appraiser will thoroughly inspect the coin, including the date, denomination, value of the metal and condition of the coin. You’ll quickly learn if you’ve got a coin that’s the real deal, or if you’re holding onto a convincing fake.

Visit a Coin Shop

Visiting a coin shop has two benefits: You can find out if you have a rare coin, and if you do, you may be able to sell it on the spot. A coin shop has employees on staff who are trained in appraising coins, and some of them may be certified appraisers. They can let you know what the value is for your coin, and if they feel so inclined, may make you an offer for it.
