Discreet, by appointment numismatic service for Embassy Row, Kalorama Heights, and Sheridan-Kalorama. About 25 minutes from our Falls Church base, and one of the most active estate areas we work.
Kalorama is, hands down, one of the heaviest estate areas we work anywhere in the District. Between the embassies along Massachusetts Avenue, the historic mansions on Wyoming and Kalorama Roads, and the long-tenured families of Sheridan-Kalorama and Kalorama Heights, we are regularly invited into homes with collections that span several generations, pre-1933 U.S. gold, complete type sets, world gold acquired during diplomatic postings, and significant U.S. paper currency. These are not collections that belong on a storefront counter in front of strangers, and a serious estate buyer is the right partner for the job. Hunter Hicks is an ANA and PNG member numismatist who handles the entire engagement inside the residence, with the documentation that estate attorneys, trustees, and executors require.
Most of our Kalorama work falls into one of three categories: settlement of a deceased relative's estate, downsizing from a large historic property, or the quiet sale of a long-held private collection. In each case, discretion is non-negotiable. There is no storefront, no walk-in traffic, no third parties brought into your home, just Hunter, a written line-item valuation, and a firm offer you can accept or decline.
From Falls Church the drive to Kalorama is roughly 25 minutes, typically across Chain Bridge and through Glover Park, or via the GW Parkway and Rock Creek Parkway. Appointments are scheduled discreetly at your convenience and coordinated with your attorney, financial advisor, or executor where appropriate. Payment is settled on the spot in the form best suited to the estate, bank check, ACH, or wire, and you receive a complete written record of every item evaluated and acquired.
