North American Arrowheads

[jpaul]

I found a collection of 250+ North American indian arrowheads.

I'm interested in finding an auction house to appraise and auction the collection. Any suggestions for reputable firm specializing in this field?

you might try asking in the sub forum "North American Indian Artifacts" ( https://www.treasurenet.com/forums/north-american-indian-artifacts.82/ )
This sub forum of Treasurenet is for posting pics and discussion of daily finds, typically metal detector or eyeball finds

Moved thread to Indian artifact forum.

Post picture of them, although you can't sell here without being charter member, members can give you an idea of what they might be worth.

 

[CreekSide]

We can make sure they are authentic for you. Just need a state where they were found

When you say: "I found a collection of 250+ North American indian arrowheads."

Does this mean you purchased these items from the Sadigh Gallery? I see the 3third image, dsc02196.jpg, a letter from Sadigh Gallery describing a roman coin included.

I am confused how this relates.
Where these obtained from the gallery?
If not, where were these "found"?

 

[newnan man]

All look authentic but as for value it is not a collection that will sell for much money. Mostly field grade points and Dognoses question is valid.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

They are what are called field grade points, so value per each is minimal.

Depending on what you paid you may or may not make any money.

Also, Sadigh Gallery Ancient Art went out of business and had a reputation of selling fakes if you review their customer reviews and complaints.

As Dogmose asked, how did you aquire them, did you buy or were they given to you, if given then you will make a little but don't get big $ signs in your eyes as value is mininum.

No, did not acquire collection from a gallery.

It was found in an old house that that I had purchased as-is many years ago. Collection was (still is) in a series of 3-ring binders with notes.

As to the letter from a gallery, presumably you are referring to the statement therein about the "Roman Bronze socketed arrowhead, c.100BC". Presumably, the prior owner and collector (long ago deceased) had procured the letter as to that particular item in the collection..
