Indian Artifact Appraisals

We offer a professional Indian artifact appraisal service for those wishing to assess a fair market value for their Native American Artifacts. Because of our experience in the hobby, we have been afforded the opportunity to acquire tremendous market knowledge through public sales, private sales and our reference library which we can put to work for you. We accept all categories and types of Native American Artifacts for appraisal.

We currently offer three types of appraisal services

On-Site Appraisals

If you have a collection of artifacts that you would like appraised in person, please contact us for on-site availability dates.  Once an appointment date is confirmed we will travel to your location and perform the collection appraisal service.  We offer special rates on large groupings of artifacts and entire collections, contact us today for a free consultation and service quote.

Internet Appraisals

We offer an online appraisal service via submitted photos.  When requesting an online appraisal please utilize our submission form by clicking the ‘Order Appraisal’ button below.  The cost for this service is $10.00 per item.  If you have a large number of items you would like appraised, please contact us directly for a discounted price quote.

When making an online appraisal request through our form, you will have an opportunity to attach photos and submit payment securely via PayPal or by using any Major Credit or Debit Card.  Please allow 1-2 business days for your appraisal to be completed.

Mail Service Appraisals

When making a submission, please include $15.00 for each artifact you would like appraised along with $15.00 for return shipping.  If you are already paying for our Authentication Service, appraisals are available at the reduced rate of $5.00 per piece.
