How Centennial Auctions Supports First-Time Sellers

Selling a coin or stamp collection for the first time can feel like entering unfamiliar territory. Whether the collection is a family heirloom, part of an estate, or something you’ve casually assembled over time, you likely have questions about how to proceed. That’s where Centennial Auctions comes in.

For over 30 years, we’ve been the trusted partner for individuals across New England looking to sell coins, stamps, and other valuable collectibles—especially those doing it for the first time.

Here’s how we make the process simple, stress-free, and successful for new sellers.

Personalized Consultations to Get You Started

We begin every relationship with a one-on-one consultation. If you’re unsure where to begin or even what’s in your collection, that’s okay. You don’t need to be an expert. Just reach out, and we’ll take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and review your items with care.

You’ll walk away with a clear sense of what your collection may be worth and how the auction process works.

Once you consign with us, we take care of the heavy lifting:

Accurately cataloging and describing your items
