How can I go about finding an appraiser for a collection of antiques and antiquities?
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.
Hi,
For questions like this (which local business to use), I find services like Yahoo! Local and Yelp to be a great help.
I haven’t used an antique appraiser (my collection of Nintendo games isn’t worth the effort), but Yelp has several favorable reviews for “Gus Farber and Dan Tenenbaum Appraisers & Buyers.” The users of Yahoo! Local mention Lang Antiques.
Links to both stores are below. Good luck!
Mike
