Antiques and Collectibles

How can I go about finding an appraiser for a collection of antiques and antiquities?

SPQRCLAUDIUS asked:


I need someone who is reliable and inexpensive in the San Francisco area who knows his stuff about ancient to 19th century coins, sculptures, paintings, etc. Is there an independent ratings service or website?

I am particularly interested in coin experts and Japanese ceramics experts.

   Julie said precisely what I would say. Don’t just call people at random from the phone yellow pages. Check with local museums, particularly those whose collections are in the same period as the piece you have. Then double check with the banks who do estate valuations.

   Good luck!
