What to ask about
Coins & bullion Jim buys
- Gold and silver coins and bullion
- Older U.S. dimes, quarters, half dollars and silver dollars

What to send by text
- Text a photo of the collection as a group and clear front-and-back photos of a few representative coins.
- Include dates, mint marks and grading-label details if they are easy to see.
- Leave coins in their holders and keep existing boxes, notes and paperwork with the collection.
Before you do anything: Please do not clean or polish your coins. Cleaning can affect their collectible value. Show Jim the coins as they are.
Age alone does not determine value. Condition, the particular issue and metal content can matter. A picture is a starting point; an offer follows an in-person review.
