When a collection deserves competition, not an offer.
Private, appointment-only consignment for estate coin and collectible collections in the Park Cities. Documented, insured, and handled by one person from signature through settlement.
Backed by the Higher Hammer Guarantee: your collection cannot sell for less than your best written offer.
University Park, Dallas · By appointment only
One dealer gives you one number.
A dealer's offer is a single buyer's price, and that buyer is paid to give you the least the market will forgive. An auction places a collection in front of the collectors who have waited years for it, and lets them compete.
Our office exists for families and estates holding significant collections: to document what is actually there, establish what it is actually worth in writing, and, when the family chooses, place it at auction with every detail handled.
The Higher Hammer Guarantee
Your best offer becomes the floor.
Bring any written offer you already hold. We set it as the auction reserve, so you are guaranteed at least that figure, and the bidding can only take it higher.
Your collection cannot sell for less than your best written offer.
On Rosedale Avenue, in the Park Cities.

Know what is actually there.

A private, in-person review of the collection with a verbal assessment of what merits documentation.
A documented written valuation delivered within five business days. Attorney-driven estate files quoted individually.
