Estate Coin & Precious Metals Evaluation
At Redmond Rare Coins & Precious Metals, we provide professional evaluations for estates ranging from modest accumulations to significant numismatic holdings. We have served Kirkland and the Greater Puget Sound region since 1995 and regularly work with families, executors, trustees, and attorneys. Our role is to identify what matters — and ensure valuable material is properly recognized.
What we evaluate
We routinely evaluate estate holdings that may include:
• Rare U.S. coins
• Pre-1933 U.S. gold
• Key-date and condition-sensitive coins
• PCGS and NGC certified coins
• Gold and silver bullion
• Morgan and Peace dollar collections
• World and ancient coins
• Proof and mint sets
• Tokens, medals, and historical material
• Mixed precious-metal accumulations
Most estates contain a combination of bullion, common material, and coins requiring specialized review.

Understanding Estate Values
Coin collections are often misunderstood.
Many estates contain:
Large quantities of common silver with bullion value
Smaller numbers of coins that represent disproportionate value
True value depends on:
• Authenticity
• Grade and preservation
• Rarity
• Market demand
• Proper attribution
Accurate identification can materially change outcomes.
Confidential, Professional, and Transparent
Estate matters are often sensitive.
We provide:
• Discreet in-store evaluations
• Clear explanations of findings
• Written summaries when requested
• Immediate purchase capability for clients wishing to liquidate
There is no obligation to sell following an evaluation.
Some clients seek valuation only.
Others request full liquidation.
We support both.
The importance of getting an evaluation
In-Person Evaluations
You should seek a professional estate coin evaluation if:
• The collection spans decades
• There are older U.S. or foreign gold coins
• Coins are certified or appear high-grade
• The estate includes large quantities of silver or gold
• You are unsure what has significance
In some estates, a small number of items account for the majority of value.
Proper evaluation matters.
