What affects valuers & assay prices
Registered vs informal valuers
An Institute of Registered Valuers (IRV) or NAG registered valuer's written report is accepted by insurers and probate; a casual in-store opinion is not.
Number and complexity of items
A collection with antique, gemstone or branded watch pieces takes longer to research and price than plain modern gold.
Purpose of the valuation
Insurance replacement valuations are usually higher than probate (open market) valuations for the same item, because they price a like-for-like new purchase.
