Honest, Transparent, Collector-Focused
Our Appraisal Philosophy
Our team at Mountain View US and Foreign Coins was founded by former professionals from the coin industry who saw firsthand how some shops undervalue collections—often offering less than 40% of market worth. We created a different model focused on fair pricing, clarity, and respect for the seller.
As experienced collectors and ANA members, we follow established grading guidelines and explain each step of the valuation process. Every appraisal includes accurate, research-based pricing supported by market data.
Whether you’re selling inherited coins, managing an estate, or downsizing a collection, our goal is to provide honest assessments so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
