Identifying and Valuing Your Coins
Determining a coin’s value requires knowing its year of minting, the number of coins issued, and its condition. Coins in pristine condition – described as “flower” (FDC) or “superb” – that show no circulation wear or minimal handling, are generally more valuable.
Experts recommend obtaining a professional assessment before selling any potentially valuable coins, utilizing certified grading services, or consulting with specialty coin dealers. Resources like Portugal Coins, Lusonunumix, and Numisrepublica can assist in identifying and estimating the value of your coins.
Furthermore, factors like the coin’s strike quality, overall rarity, and confirmed authenticity can significantly impact its worth. A thorough evaluation ensures sellers receive a fair price and avoid rushed transactions.
