Hicks Coins is the credentialed numismatist for Arlington collectors and heirs, from North Arlington and Lyon Village to Country Club Hills and Cherrydale, and we're only about ten minutes from your door.
Arlington collections reflect a county that has spent decades attracting State Department careers, military officers, Pentagon civilians, federal attorneys, and journalists. The result is that homes in North Arlington, Lyon Village, and Country Club Hills frequently contain coins picked up during overseas tours, pre-Euro European gold, British sovereigns, Asian trade coinage, alongside the American silver and Morgan/Peace dollar rolls a previous generation tucked away. Hunter Hicks is an ANA and PNG member numismatist, which is the level of documentation that matters when the executor, the IRS, or an insurance underwriter is going to look at the paperwork. Every Arlington appointment happens at your address, on your schedule.
What we see most often in Cherrydale and the older streets near Lee Highway are mixed estate collections: a Whitman folder or two, a cigar box of silver, a small envelope of "the good ones" the original owner kept separate. The appointment model is well-suited to this because we sort, grade, and price the entire holding in front of you in one sitting, there's no shipping it off, no dropping it at a shop counter, no waiting on a quote.
Arlington is roughly a ten-minute drive from our Falls Church base via Route 29 or I-66, so same-day and next-day appointments are usually possible. Text or call to describe what you have, lock in a time that works for you, and we'll arrive with reference books, a scale, a loupe, and the ability to settle in cash, Zelle, check, or wire on the spot. Parking on a side street in Lyon Village or in your driveway in Country Club Hills is fine, we travel light.
Collection stays at your Arlington home from first contact through settlement.
