Antique Adventures with the Bettendorf Library

Learn about antiques, collectibles, and coins from expert Alex Curran of QC Coin! Select participants will have the opportunity to bring in one small item for Curran to discuss and appraise in front of the general audience. There is no need to register if you simply wish to be part of the audience and soak up the knowledge. If you would like to submit an item to be appraised, you must register in advance by November 5. A maximum of 20 items, one per person, will be accepted.
If you wish to have an item appraised, please read the below information carefully:
- items must be smaller than 36" by 36"
- no furniture, firearms, or weapons of any kind will be evaluated
- you are responsible for transporting your item to the library; no carts or assistance will be provided
- only registered participants will have their items appraised
- when registering, you must specify the type of item you want appraised and, if possible, submit a photo
- registration must be completed by November 5 to give the appraiser adequate time to research items
- if you do not want the appraised value announced, please inform the appraiser prior to the start of the program
The Bettendorf Public Library, the City of Bettendorf, and QC Coin are not responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of property during this program. Any value stated by the appraiser is the opinion of the appraiser and not that of the Bettendorf Public Library.
