Editorial standards

How a record gets built — and why some dealers don't get one.

We pull three layers of public evidence and only publish a standalone record when at least two layers agree. No paid placement, no sponsored ranks, no spot prices, no investment advice.

Read the full methodology →

Layer 01 · Listing

Public listing data

Name, address, phone, hours, photos, rating, and the platform's auto-summary. Every record has this floor; without it, there is no record.

Layer 02 · Site

The dealer's own website

Specific language about appraisal policy, pricing posture, PCGS / NGC fluency, estate work. Templated stock copy is discarded, not read as a signal.

Layer 03 · Reviews

Customer review excerpts

Verbatim review text mentioning specific outcomes — “94% of spot,” “took 40 minutes to itemize.” Marketing-style reviews are filtered out.

Reader questions

What people ask before walking in.

How do I know an offer is fair?

For bullion, check the day's spot price (kitco.com or APMEX) — fair buy offers run 92-96% of spot. For numismatic coins, look up the piece on the PCGS Price Guide or NGC for retail comparables. If an offer is far below those marks without a clear reason, get a second opinion before selling.

Should I clean my coins before bringing them in?

No. Cleaning a coin almost always reduces its value, sometimes by 50% or more — graders mark cleaned coins as damaged. Even a soft cloth can leave hairlines visible under magnification. Leave the piece alone; the dealer will know how to handle it.

Why is photo ID required?

Federal anti-money-laundering rules require dealers to record photo ID for any precious-metal transaction over a small dollar threshold. It's universal — not dealer paranoia, but federal law. Bring a driver's license or passport.

Single lot quote, or itemized appraisal?

For anything over a few thousand dollars, ask for itemized. A single lot quote is faster but you lose the line-by-line audit trail and can't shop the offer to a second dealer. An itemized appraisal usually costs $50-200 or 1-2% of value and is almost always worth it for an estate.

Is this site giving investment advice?

No. Honduras Collectibles is an editorial directory. We do not sell coins or bullion, do not quote prices on behalf of dealers, and do not recommend buying or selling precious metals as an investment. Speak to a licensed financial advisor if you are deciding whether to add metals to a portfolio.
