What JF Bastok buys in Waterloo
Ancient coins (Greek, Gaulish, Roman), medieval, early modern and contemporary coins, in gold, silver or bronze. All collections, any quantity, with cash payment.
What determines the value
Valuing a coin rests on the issuing authority, denomination, date and mint, type and legend, then on its preservation and rarity. For gold and silver coins, weight and fineness also set a floor value.
Home appraisal in Waterloo
JF Bastok is based in Waterloo, on the drève de l’Infante: an appointment is quickly arranged, whether you live in the centre, Mont-Saint-Jean, Joli-Bois, Chenois or the Faubourg. He also travels to neighbouring towns such as Braine-l’Alleud, Lasne, Rhode-Saint-Genèse and La Hulpe.
Before the appointment
Never clean a coin: even light cleaning can wipe out most of its value to a collector. Handle coins by the edge and leave them in their holders.
