To appraise something means to determine aspects of its monetary value. 

An appraisal differs from an evaluation, which means to determine the non-financial aspects of an item which can contribute to, but do not solely define, its monetary value.
These qualities can include completeness of original item without repairs and replacements; authenticity, that is having been made by the acknowledged artist.
