We cannot…

  • Appraise artifacts. ACRM is forbidden by federal law from providing information on the value of artifacts. To determine the value of your artifact, try searching for similar items on eBay, or contact an appraiser. We recommend the American Society of Appraisers or the Certified Appraisers Guild.

  • Promise to display your artifact. ACRM will not be able to immediately display your item and can make no guarantee that it will ever be displayed.
