What Clients Love About Our Rare Coin Appraisals
Testimonials
"My father recently passed away. Among his effects was an envelope with 5 gold coins and some silver coins.
We live in western Massachusetts so we contacted Dave, along with other coin dealers as far away as the Worcester area.
Dave offered us a price for the group that exceeded the other 4 dealers by nearly $1200. He explained that he was able to pay a lot more because he recognized that one of our gold coins was in superior condition.
Thanks so much, Dave."

When I decided to sell my coin collection, I researched many dealers. I was most impressed with Dave Wnuck's website.
I contacted him to make an appointment. His response was prompt.
I was even more impressed meeting Dave in person. Dave took much time reviewing my collection and explained each step in the process. I was so pleased and he made an offer that was far more than I had anticipated.
Dave Wnuck is an EXTREMELY trustworthy, courteous, very patient, knowledgeable individual. I highly recommend doing business with him -- he is an outstanding professional. His expertise is unmatched!
Thank you, Dave!

"I have been searching for quite some time for a 1922 1c with a strong 22. I finally found one on Dave's site. I have also sold him coins for very fair offers. He is very cordial and a pleasure to do business with." - R.B., Massachusetts |
We are in the process of moving from our old house to a condo in Florida, now that my husband has retired. We had had boxes and albums of coins stored in the back of our closet ever since my father gave them to us many years ago.
I did my homework and found Dave listed as one of the few dealers in Connecticut on the Professional Numismatists Guild website. We contacted him and met in his office a few days later.
We had spent some of the coins a few years ago, but I wish we hadn't. What was left (which was most of it, fortunately) was worth thousands of dollars.
We were thrilled! It will make the move that much easier. Fewer boxes to move, and more money to help pay for it.
I would recommend Dave to anyone who is looking for a fair and honest coin dealer.

Hi Dave, The quarter arrived today. It is a beauty! Excellent luster and a great strike. Honestly, it looks like a 64 all day to me. I have no problem at all cracking this one out of its MS62 holder. It's going to look great in my album! DS, New York. |

My father spent about 40 years building and enjoying his coin collection. When he passed away late last year I checked out several buyers in the New England area. I narrowed the list down to you and one other dealer. I must say I am quite happy I chose to do business with you.
You met with my sister and me, and you spent the time necessary to find each of the coins worth a premium over their metal value. You made an offer that was over twice the amount that the other dealer made. I was surprised because that dealer also came very highly recommended.
It was a pleasure meeting you and I thank you for doing such a thorough job with my dad's collection.
Sincerely,
J.L., Connecticut

I wanted to find a PNG member dealer. I got Dave's name from their website. As one of the few PNG members in all of New England, they are known as the Gold Standard of coin dealers.
I didn't want to get ripped off. Dave treated me with respect and showed me why my more expensive coins were valued as they were. In the end, he paid me significantly more for my dad's coin collection than I had estimated it was worth, based on what my dad paid for the coins. Thank you for that, Dave. D.A., Middlebury CT |

I received the coin yesterday. It looks great! Nice original color on both sides and no marks that I can see with the naked eye. An excellent type coin!

I took a shoebox worth of coins into (well known coin buying store advertised on local TV). The clerk behind the counter took a quick look and said, “There's nothing of value here. I'll give you $35 for the lot.”
Something about that did not sit right with me. So I took them home and put them away. A few months later I did an Internet search and came up with your name. I wanted to be sure this time, so I checked out your credentials.
We set up an appointment at your office. You spent about 25 minutes going over the coins in the box, and said there were a few interesting coins in there. You told me that that same box of coins was worth exactly $836. I sold them to you and was quite happy. I have already recommended you to a friend of mine who has some old coins. Thank you for your honesty.

I received an offer from my grandfathers coin collection from another dealer. He told me that it was the best offer I would receive for the coins.
Then I found you online. You carefully looked at the collection. When it was all added up the total came to nearly three times that amount.
I was shocked. And happy of course. Thank you.

It turns out that there are no licenses or anything needed to call yourself a coin dealer. Anybody can do it. So when I became the executrix of my father's estate, I wanted someone with credentials. That way all the heirs could feel comfortable that knew the correct value of my dad's coin collection.
I found Dave through an Internet search. Turns out there are only 5 dealers in the entire state that are members of the PNG (Professional Numismatists Guild). Plus, he is a contributor to several coin reference books.
We were very happy with his work. Some of the coins my dad thought were very valuable turned out not to be. But a few others he thought were nothing special turned out to have significant value.
Overall I am very pleased, and would recommend Dave to anyone who is settling an estate that contains a coin collection.
Sincerely,.

As you know, My husband and I inherited a substantial coin collection from my dad last year. We have been fortunate in life so far, so the proceeds from the collection won’t have a big impact on our lifestyle. However it was important to my father’s memory that what he collected over his lifetime were sold at fair prices.
Through both coin auctions (for the most expensive coins) and private sales you selected the best venues for his coins so that his collection, that he cared so much for, were all sold at the current market values. Thank you for honoring his wishes. Sincerely, Dr. and Mr. E V. Framingham, MA |

I had a most enjoyable transaction selling my coins to you. I will certainly recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their coins.

I was the Executrix of my father's estate. There were blue coin album folders stacked high in several boxes, coins in pill bottles and coffee cans, etc.
First off, everything had to be appraised for the Probate Court. Dave did so quickly and efficiently. Several months later when it came time to settle the estate, I called Dave and asked if he wished to buy the collection. He did -- lock, stock and barrel. I spoke to another dealer before that and he wanted to pick and choose the coins he would buy, leaving us with the bulky remainder.
He sent three equal checks to each of the three heirs.
Much thanks to you Dave, for making the process so easy!

Dave, the check has been received with thanks, and has gone to the bank.
I will have to look over the results in more detail and talk to my accountant on how to handle this windfall for which I thank you very much. It feels good to get the coins out of the safe deposit box where they have sat for years and into something productive.
Looking forward to the wrap up and the chance to recommend another customer to you in the future. It has been a real pleasure working with you and I hope that our paths cross again. Please feel free to use me as a reference if you wish.

My dad collected coins since he was a child. He told us he pedaled his bike every Saturday with the profits from his paper route. He still had the first coin he ever purchased; he rarely sold anything.
He took a break from collecting as a young adult to raise my sisters and I (along with my mom). As his career progressed he got back into it. He attended local coin shows and local coin and antique auctions. He purchased from reputable coin dealers through the mail, and later on through the Internet. We still have many of his purchase receipts, many going back decades.
When he retired, he slowed his purchases, but his enthusiasm for collecting never wavered. He passed away about 2 years ago.
At first we couldn't bear to deal with selling his collection. It was such a part of him.
When we finally made a decision to get the collection appraised and sold, we asked local antique auction houses who the most reputable coin appraisers were. Most said, “Dave Wnuck”.
We checked your references and made an appointment. You explained the process, carefully looked over and valued his coins, told us stories about some of the items and and why they were significant to collectors and to history. I could tell from your genuine enthusiasm for these objects that you cared as much about coins and currency as dad did.
Two years before he died, dad came up with an estimate of what his collection would be worth on the open market. Your appraisal (and subsequent bank check) exceeded this figure by quite a bit.
If anyone asks me about a referral, Dave Wnuck Numismatics is where I would direct them.

Dear Mr Wnuck:
My husband and I brought my late father’s coin collection in to your office for you to buy. He had been collecting since the mid 1960s, and had coins in albums, plastic boxes, little coin envelopes and even a few baby food jars.
You found 4 special coins in my father’s collection that you said were worth at least $2000 apiece.
You said something like, “I can buy these 4 coins outright from you today, but if you can wait a few months, I believe you will get even more for them by putting them in the right national coin auction”.
I took you up on that offer. You bought the rest of the collection outright that day, and took those 4 coins “on consignment”.
You handled all the dealings with the auction house for those 4 coins. The coins ended up selling at the high end of what you estimated they could bring. We were absolutely delighted with how it worked out.
I appreciated your honesty and your thorough follow through to pick the right auction for my coins.
I have already recommended you to my cousin, who has a trunk full of coins she inherited.
Sincerely,
Mrs. A.M

I visited Mr. Wnuck in his Cheshire office 4 times over the course of 18 months. Each time he made a generous offer for that part of my grandfather's coin collection. Dave has proven himself to be fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is a coin expert that will do his best to make a strong offer. Give him a try when you have coins to sell. Thank you, Dave.
