Superior works only in the rare coins market; it does not attempt to achieve expert status across multiple disciplines. This total focus on numismatic rarities helps Superior to deliver optimal results to its clients. If you want your collecting experience to be both enjoyable and profitable, it is imperative to establish a relationship with a dealer who has proven market acumen, financial strength, and longevity. Superior Galleries offers all three.

Superior offers a complete line of services. If you're looking to acquire rare coins, Superior's expert staff is available to consult with you regarding strategy. Once a strategy has been set, Superior offers an outstanding selection of coins through its gallery and will also work with you to evaluate potential acquisitions through auctions and private transactions.

Superior offers an outstanding selection of coins through its gallery, which typically has over $10 million in inventory available. Superior attends every major coin auction in the country as well as many minor shows, always looking for excellent values that meet its client's needs. Superior will partner with you to create a "want list" of coins to be added to your collection and then works diligently to identify those coins for you at the best possible price. Superior is often the largest buyer at major auctions, buying coins on behalf of its clients and also investing in its own extensive inventory.

Superior's experts are in the marketplace on a full time basis and are often knowledgeable about coins that may be coming on the market in advance of public announcements about such offerings. As a result, they may be in a better position to identify fluctuations in supply that could result in possible price changes.

When it's time to sell, Superior provides you maximum flexibility for liquidation. Superior will purchase your coins outright or take them on consignment, making them available through its gallery as well as its auctions. Superior offers three options in the auction arena: Elite Auctions - held in conjunction with major coin shows throughout the year, Internet auctions - held on the Superior website and typically used for items valued at less than $2,000, Ebay auctions - a partnership with the most heavily trafficked auctions site in the world.

Superior's Elite Auctions are designed to realize the maximum market value for your coins. Superior holds a large number of these Elite Auctions and they are typically held as part of the well attended "pre-convention" activities just prior to major coin shows, thus ensuring that your coins are being presented to the largest number of bidders while those bidders still have all their money to spend. By avoiding the log jam that can occur when the market is flooded with choices and activities during the course of the show, Superior helps you to achieve a maximum return on your investment.

Superior's marketing support for its auctions is simply the best in the industry. A full color catalog consisting of high quality, digital photographs of each coin is prepared for every Elite Auction. This is a significant marketing investment that gives prospective bidders a much greater appreciation for the value of your collection. Superior believes that it mails more of these catalogs to prospective buyers than any other auctioneer in the industry. Our auctions are heavily marketed in every major coin trade publication using full and double page color ads possibly listing your coins as highlights. Superior is a expert in web marketing also exposing your consignments to a global collecting audience.

While many of Superior's competitors will only feature your coins at a single auction, Superior believes that multiple exposures can help build momentum toward sale and, as a result, will "preview" your coins at multiple auctions prior to putting it up for sale. Even while presenting a coin multiple times, Superior scrupulously avoids 'redundancy among rarities.' In other words, your coins will not be competing against comparable coins in the same Superior auction.
