Sell Rare Coins: Your FAQs
Do I need an appointment to have coins assessed?
Initial enquiries can often begin by submitting photographs and collection information via our online platform for preliminary review.
We do not currently take walk-ins for coin collecting or assessment queries. Appointments may be required for larger or significant collections.
Providing accurate information during the initial enquiry stage helps streamline the assessment process and allows our specialists to provide more informed guidance.
When contacting Roxbury’s Auction House about selling rare coins, we recommend preparing:
• Clear high-resolution photographs
• Coin denominations and dates
• Mint marks where visible
• Certification or grading information
• Previous appraisal documents
• Provenance or ownership history
• Storage details and collection background
Should I clean my coins before valuation?
No. Cleaning or polishing coins can significantly reduce collector value and may permanently damage surfaces. Where possible, coins should remain in their existing holders or packaging. Coins should never be cleaned, polished or chemically treated prior to assessment, as this may negatively impact collector value.
Can I sell coins from an inherited coin collection?
Yes. Roxbury’s Auction House regularly assists families, executors and estate managers with inherited coin collections. Inherited coin collections often contain material requiring specialist assessment.
Roxbury’s Auction House assists with:
• Collection identification

• Probate support
• Auction consignment
• Collection dispersal strategies
Where appropriate, individual high-value items may be separated from bulk material to maximise overall sale performance.
Do you accept interstate consignments?
Yes. Roxbury’s Auction House regularly works with interstate collectors, executors, inherited collection owners and regional clients throughout Australia via secure, insured consignment arrangements.
Our team can assist with:
• Remote collection reviews
• Secure shipping guidance
• Insured transport recommendations
• Interstate auction consignments
• Estate collection coordination
This allows collectors across Australia to access specialist auction exposure without needing to attend in person.
How long does the auction process take?
Timeframes vary depending on auction scheduling, collection preparation requirements and grading considerations. Our team provides guidance on expected timelines following the initial assessment.
Are valuations and collection discussions confidential?
Yes. Collection assessments and consignment discussions are handled confidentially and professionally.
What are some significant Australian coins commonly presented at auction?
