NU·MIS·MAT·ICS /ˌN(Y)O͞OMƏZˈMADIKS/
noun the study or collection of coins, paper currency, and medals
If an item looks like a coin but was not issued as legal tender, it may be exonumia. See our token and medal appraisal guide.
Each coin ever minted has a unique history. Numismatics allows us to highlight the historical value of the coins we collect. The value of numismatics goes far beyond collecting coins and investing in bullion. Numismatics is directly responsible for preserving a piece of our history.
Supply and demand play a large part in a coin’s value. A coin that is not in long-term demand will experience a drop in value, while a coin with a higher perceived or intrinsic value can get a much higher price. Serious Coin collectors invest money in the specific coins they believe will increase in value over time. The condition of a coin has a massive impact on its value. High-quality coins in mint condition are worth much more than the same coin in poorer quality.

If you own a 1921 Morgan or Peace dollar, our 1921 silver dollar rarity guide explains what makes certain coins exceptionally valuable.
What types of coins are worth selling?
US type coins, rare coins, pre-1933 gold coins, silver dollars, 90% silver coins, foreign coins, and ancient coins can all have value. Full collections and coin sets are often worth evaluating as a group. PGS Gold & Coin buys these from collectors and estates in Chicagoland.
Do foreign and ancient coins have collector value?
Yes. Foreign and ancient coins can be valuable based on rarity, condition, historical significance, and market demand—alongside US gold and silver coins. PGS evaluates world and ancient coins as part of its coin-buying services.
How is the value of a coin determined?
Coin value is based on rarity, mint mark, condition, historical demand, and current market prices. Higher-grade and mint-state coins typically sell for more than worn examples of the same date and type.
Is a coin evaluation free?
Yes. Evaluations are free and no-obligation—you do not have to sell. Formal appraisals, such as estate or insurance appraisals, are typically charged. PGS provides free evaluations at its retail locations.
When is the best time to sell a coin collection?
Sell when you need cash or when demand is strong for your specific coins. Values change with supply, demand, and precious metal prices, so a free evaluation helps you decide based on today’s market.
How do you sell coins for cash?
Bring coins to a certified dealer for an in-person evaluation and cash offer. PGS pays cash for gold coins, silver coins, rare coins, type coins, US and foreign coins, and entire collections.
Should coins be professionally graded before selling?
Grading can help for high-value pieces that need third-party authentication before selling, insuring, or collecting. PGS Grading Submission Services can submit coins for professional grading.
What is the difference between coin collecting and numismatics?
Coin collecting is acquiring coins for enjoyment or investment. Numismatics is the broader study of coins, paper currency, and medals. Coin-like items that were never legal tender are often called exonumia (tokens and medals).
Are Morgan and Peace silver dollars valuable?
Many Morgan and Peace dollars have collector or silver value depending on year, mint mark, and condition. 90% silver coins and older US silver coinage can also be worth selling. PGS buys these regularly.
