The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides palladium bullion appraisals for estate tax reporting, charitable donation filings, insurance coverage, divorce proceedings, and loan collateral, as a specialized subset of professional personal property valuations.
Why the date matters
Palladium's volatility as a platinum-group metal means a valuation must be anchored to verifiable spot price data, assay documentation, and recognized weight and purity standards, so every formal use gets a date-specific appraisal.
Precious metals practice
Palladium bullion is appraised with the same rigorous methodology used across our precious metals practice, whether it is held alone or alongside platinum, gold, or silver.
How we work
Most palladium bullion appraisals are completed remotely from documentation such as assay certificates, dealer receipts, and photographs. We coordinate onsite inspection for large holdings or when the intended use requires physical verification.
Who we serve
We serve individual investors, estate executors, and institutional clients who hold palladium within a broader portfolio or estate, the attorneys, CPAs, and financial planners who need a credible, date-specific valuation for them, and the collectors, donors, and families navigating estate settlement or divorce.
We appraise palladium bullion across its distinct product categories, each with its own pricing conventions, premiums, and documentation requirements, for estate, donation, insurance, divorce, and collateral purposes.

AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.

Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
The starting point is melt value: troy weight times fineness times the palladium spot price, with pricing drawn from recognized sources such as LBMA and COMEX rather than retail price lists. From there the appraiser adjusts for form-specific premiums or discounts, bid-ask spread, and liquidity, then documents the pricing source and time of quote. Every input ties to a specific valuation date, because palladium prices move daily.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is the standard, providing a non-destructive elemental breakdown that confirms fineness and can expose discrepancies with the stamped marking. Ultrasonic testing checks density and internal structure to catch drilled or filled counterfeits, and photographed stamps, hallmarks, and mint marks confirm origin. A report that documents its testing method is far stronger than one that accepts hallmarks at face value.
Generally only modest ones. Bullion is valued almost entirely by metal content and spot price; rarity and craftsmanship matter for numismatic pieces, not generic bars. Specific collectible issues can carry real premiums, but those are treated as a separate value component supported by auction comparables. Assuming every branded or attractive bar commands a large premium leads to overpaying, underinsuring, or misreporting.
Because the price bullion actually trades at differs from headline spot due to dealer spreads, transaction size, and market conditions, especially in a thinner market like palladium. A careful fair market value appraisal obtains the spot price as of the valuation date, then adjusts for premiums or discounts tied to form, liquidity, and volatility. Multiplying catalog spot by weight without documenting those inputs is methodologically weak.
Each bar, coin, or round listed with its weight in troy ounces, stated fineness, form, photographs of stamps and hallmarks, and any assay certificates or purchase records. Items are classified by type and purity, valued individually, and aggregated into a total, alongside the market prices used and the effective date. That item-level transparency is what tax and legal users need; a single lump-sum number is not.
