How to Borrow Money on your Coins, Stamps & Paper Money:
You can use your coins, stamps and paper money just like stock certificates or bonds as collateral for a loan at Edelman's. For over 75 years Edelman's has been granting loans on collateral. We are licensed, bonded and have operated under the supervision of the Banking Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 1926.

It is easy to obtain a loan:
Loans are made quickly and confidentially, without inquiry regarding credit or income. You can bring in your collection or just forward it by registered mail, Federal Express or UPS. For your convenience, an application form is available on our website. As soon as your collateral is received, it will be carefully appraised by our experts. Our staff is qualified to make a fair evaluation, and their appraisal will be the basis of the loan. If you have any information that would help us in our appraisal, you can enclose copies with your collateral. We normally lend up to 65% of the collateral's wholesale value. You will continue to retain ownership of your collection. If we grant the amount you requested, our check and loan receipt will be mailed, usually the same day your collection is received. If we are not able to grant the desired amount, we will inform you what we can loan. Your collection will be held pending your approval.
