Question
My Husband and I have a collection of old coin & currency.  We would like to locate an appraiser locally, but have no idea of where to look. We are located in Mesa, Arizona. Do you know where we can go to get this information?

Answer
Hello Laurene,                                   

Here are two American Numismatic Association Member\dealers in good standing and they abide by a code of ethics written into the bylaws to be fair in coin dealing.

The A.N.A. bylaws state a code of ethics that all members should adhere to. If there is any question as to the integrity of the person on the list contact The Association about it.
Let the dealer you contact know you got the number through the A.N.A. I have no dealing with the person listed. Let me know if you need more information. Certainly the dealer you choose can tell you where to go if they are not able to see your coin.


I hope this information helps. Please remember to rate this answer. And check the nomination box on the rating page below any comments you may have.

Good Luck
