Local read
FAIR lists Steve Roach as an unclaimed, website-backed Baltimore, MD profile with Fine art/Antiques categories; Art, Collectibles - Coins & Currency, Medals & Medallions, Paintings, Sculpture, ISA CAPP, and ISA credential-like specialty language; no FAIR formal-use signal; no public fee statement, USPAP education field, or claim/control status. The listed website redirects to Steve Roach's ISA appraiser profile. That source lists Steve Roach, JD, ISA CAPP, ISA member since Jan. 1, 2007, with a Baltimore office in ZIP 21218, a New York City office, office phone (214) 536-4309, and email contact through ISA. The profile describes him as a fine art and rare coin appraiser, co-instructor of ISA's fine art course, and an AQB-Certified USPAP Instructor, with more than 20 years of experience. It says he specializes in charitable contributions and served nearly a decade as a senior art appraiser for the Internal Revenue Service, evaluating more than 3,000 works of art and cultural property for federal estate, gift, income, and charitable contribution tax matters. It also lists lectures at Sotheby's, the FBI, and the U.S. Department of State, coin grading at PCGS and ANACS, coin grading/authentication teaching for the American Numismatic Association, and institutional work. The source describes services for private collectors, attorneys, institutions, and fiduciaries: appraisals, appraisal review, expert witness testimony, auction consulting, donations, estate/probate, estate tax, divorce, equitable distribution, tax-deductible gifts, litigation, tax, and insurance.
The clearest source-backed fit is fine art, rare coins, medals and medallions, paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, books, ceramics, decorative arts, furniture, drawings, ephemera, watercolors, music boxes, and collectibles. The source also names federal tax, charitable contribution, estate, gift, income, donation, estate/probate, divorce, equitable distribution, expert witness, insurance, appraisal review, and auction-consulting contexts. Confirm exact report purpose and object fit directly.
Before outreach, prepare photos, dimensions, artist or maker names, signatures, inscriptions, edition numbers, medium, condition notes, provenance, purchase records, collection history, prior appraisals, tax or estate documents, coin grading holders, medals documentation, and the intended use of the report. Ask which office or inspection method applies, whether fees are non-contingent, what standards and effective date will be used, and what records are needed for tax, estate, insurance, litigation, or donation use.
