Appraisal vs. Offer — What's the Difference?
An appraisal is a documented professional opinion of fair market value — the price an item would bring between a willing buyer and seller. Executors and attorneys often need written appraisals for probate and estate settlement, and we provide them as a paid professional service. An offer is what we'll actually pay you today, and hearing it costs nothing. Many families start with a free consultation and decide from there.
How do I sell an inherited coin collection in Florida?
Contact Blue Water Coins at
we come to you anywhere from Sebastian to Boca Raton. We evaluate the collection piece by piece at your home or bank, explain what you have in plain English, and pay the same day if you choose to sell. We regularly handle large estates other dealers can't.
How do I know your offer is fair?
Because we show our work. Precious metals are tested in front of you with an XRF analyzer and priced against the live spot market; coins are evaluated by a numismatist with fifty years of experience. We're ANA and FUN lifetime members and NGC and PMG authorized dealers — our reputation runs on Google reviews and word of mouth, and we intend to keep it that way.

How should I prepare for the appointment?
Just gather everything in one place — don't sort, polish, or discard anything, because value hides in unexpected pieces. If it's easy, text us photos beforehand so the evaluation starts early. Have your ID handy; Florida law requires us to verify sellers' identity.
