Frequently Asked Questions
Are old medals in York valuable?
Some medals attract collector interest, but age alone does not determine value. The exact award, condition, rarity, recipient history and provenance all matter.
Can I have an inherited medal collection assessed remotely?
You can start with clear photographs of the medals and any associated records. Some items may need closer inspection before a more definite assessment can be made.
