Doran Coins buys and sells coins, currency, and bullion, U.S. and World.  It pays some of the top prices in the industry.  For more information, please call (217) 663-0276 or email at info@dorancoins.net.

Doran Coins does free appraisals for private individuals of collections and estates in the Illinois counties of Clark, Cumberland, Coles, Crawford, Edgar, Jasper, & Effingham, and the Indiana counties of Vermillion, Vigo, & Sullivan.  No collection is too large or small.  Since it does not operate a brick and mortar shop and as such is a home-based business, Doran Coins travels to residences, nursing homes, offices, and financial institutions.  Your numismatic items are appraised based on current market values.  All appraisals are held in the strictest confidence.  Law Offices, Companies, and Auction Houses regardless of location, and private individuals living outside of the aforementioned Illinois and Indiana counties will be charged a hourly appraisal rate based on collection size and distance traveled.

UPDATED 7/27/2020 - NOTE:  Please keep in mind that before your items are looked at, a brief preview is suggested.  This is not a requirement but, by doing this, it will help serve you better.  This can be done with pictures taken from a digital camera or a phone with a camera built-in (such as a smartphone or iPhone.)  By doing this it will help determine whether a visit for a closer look would be ideal or beneficial to you.  Please, if possible, use adequate lighting when taking pictures.  An ordinary household iridescent light bulb of 60 to 75 watts is best.  There are some LED bulbs that give out similar brightness (lumens) as iridescent ones.  Please try to avoid any florescent lights (both from regular tube and compact florescent) and any bulb that emits bright, white light.  When you have your pictures ready, please send them either in a message attachment via text message to (217) 663-0276 or in an email at info@dorancoins.net.  Please call if you prefer.  Calls and messages will be replied to as soon as possible.  Please keep in mind that when texting, emailing, or calling, the more information you provide in the description of each item, the better.  This will help in identifying your items accurately.  Thank you.
