How a valuation works
- You bring your coinsAs they are, without cleaning them: cleaning can take a lot of value away from a collector coin.
- We examine them in front of youExamination under a loupe, weighing on precision scales, magnet test or touchstone test if needed. We identify each coin, its year and its condition.
- We make you an offerIt is based on the day's spot price, minus transaction costs and margin; for a rare coin, a premium may be added. It is always stated before the sale.
- You decideYou sell everything, part or nothing. If you sell: a written contract, payment by bank transfer or cheque.

Strasbourg, a minting city
Strasbourg struck coins for centuries. The free city issued its own coins, recognisable by their lily in full bloom, the city's emblem. From 1693, a royal mint set up in Strasbourg struck French coins marked with the letters BB, until 1870.
5 francs écus, 20 francs Napoleon III, Restoration coins: it is not unusual for a coin brought to the shop to carry these two letters. Depending on the year, they can count towards its value.
