1. Appraisal of your coins

The process of selling coins, banknotes and medals through our international auctions starts with a free appraisal of your collection. The valuation is done by one of our experts in our office or at home. If you doubt whether your coin collection has any value, it is possible to have a provisional appraisal by email or WhatsApp.

2. Consigning coins

If it turns out that your coins represent any value and are suitable for our auction, you will receive a consignment receipt from us. This will state the estimated appraisal value. Your collection is insured according to the stated value from the moment of acceptance.

3. Describing coins

The next step for selling your coins concerns the describing of your collection. This is done in such a way that your collection generates optimal attention among collectors and potential buyers. For example, we may divide your consignment into specialized collection lots concerning a certain theme/topic, country, rarity etc. You will receive a consignment confirmation after the describing process is concluded which includes the lot numbers and starting prices of your lots.

4. Promotion through (online) catalogue

The coins for sale will be included in a full colour hardcover catalogue. We will send the catalogue to potential customers and prominent collectors all over the world. As consignor you will also receive this catalogue. In addition lots of attention goes into digital promotion of your lots on our website and various auction platforms. This ensures that your consignment will receive the most optimal coverage among collectors. Experience learns that collectors like to visit our viewing days to view your lots in real life. The viewing days are popular and take place under supervision at our premises in Amstelveen. This way potential buyers can determine their bids on lots in our auction even more precisely.

5. Auction of your coins and payment

During our auction it will become clear what the final results of your lots will be. We organize an international auction in the spring and in the fall. There are usually two to three auction days per auction in our auction room in Amstelveen. You can attend the auction yourself or follow the stamp auction online if you wish. The auction is always an exciting moment and it is always a cheerful event. Buyers may bid in the auction room, submit a written bid or bid live remotely. You can follow the provisional highest price of your lots in advance online since the auction opens approximately one month before the actual auction days. Within 2 weeks after the auction you will receive a consignment statement of your results. The results minus our provisions (20% + €2,- packing fee per lot) will be payed into your account.
