Potomac is one of our most active estate-buying markets. Hicks Coins handles consultations across Avenel, Falls Road, Potomac Village, and McAuley Park, roughly thirty minutes from our Falls Church base.
Potomac sits at the intersection of old Washington money and several generations of physicians, lawyers, and senior federal executives, and that translates directly into the kind of collections we're called to evaluate. Estates in Avenel and along Falls Road regularly include double eagles, complete Saint-Gaudens or Liberty Head gold sets, sheets of uncut paper currency, and graded type collections built carefully over decades. McAuley Park homes have produced everything from inherited silver dollar accumulations to thousand-ounce silver hoards stored in basement safes. Hunter Hicks is an ANA and PNG member numismatist; in a community where the executor and the family attorney both want a real paper trail, the credentials are not negotiable.
A meaningful share of our work in Potomac is estate work, handling collections for surviving spouses, adult children working through probate, or trust officers who need a defensible valuation. We grade and price the entire collection in front of you, leave a written offer, and settle in cash, certified check, or wire transfer as the estate prefers.
Potomac is about a thirty-minute drive from our Falls Church base via the Beltway and River Road or MacArthur Boulevard. We schedule by phone or text, accommodate gated-community access in Avenel, and coordinate with attorneys or trust officers when the situation calls for it. Estate appointments often run two to three hours; smaller appointments are typically wrapped in under an hour with full settlement on the spot.
Collection stays at your Potomac home from first contact through settlement.
