Auctions
Schulman b.v. has held auctions for over 120 years and holds regular auctions three times a year (April, June and November). The auctions focus on Dutch coins (medieval, Low Countries, provincial, kingdom, colonial and VOC), banknotes, medals and Jetons. Our auctions also feature a large assortment of foreign coins, banknotes and ancient coins.
We are very proud of our auction catalogue. The first Schulman catalogue appeared in 1890 and our catalogues have been enthusiastically collected by museums and individuals ever since. Our catalogue is available three to four weeks before an auction in digital and paper form. The price estimates stated in the catalogue are based on our expert numismatic knowledge, our extensive database of results from past auctions and current market prices. How it works
Our auction is a so called “English auction”, meaning that a lot is bid on in successively higher bids until there are no other bids and the highest bid wins. The bids on a lot increase incrementally according to the following scheme:
| current bid (€) | bid step (€) |
| 10 -50 | 5 |
| 50 - 200 | 10 |
| 200 - 500 | 20 |
| 500 - 1000 | 50 |
| 1000 - 3000 | 100 |
| 3000 - 5000 | 200 |
| > 5000 | 500 |
The auctioneer always reserves the right to deviate from this scheme, so called "auctioneer’s discretion". How to make a bid
There are several ways to bid on an auction:
Attend the auction
By bidding live from the auction floor. Our auctions are well visited and engaging. The auction usually takes place in a hotel and refreshments and snacks are served.
Written bid
By placing a written bid via a post or fax: written bid form or via the internet:digital bid form.
Telephone bidding
Telephone bidding is possible on lots over 500 Euros (please see the auction catalogue for telephone numbers and more information).
Opening price and bidding
Bidding starts at 80% of the estimated catalogue value, if no other written bids have been placed on the lot. If multiple written bids have been placed on a lot, the starting price of the lot will be the second highest bidder’s bid, plus one increment. For example: If a lot is estimated at 100 Euros in the catalogue; Two bidders have placed written bids of 160 and 120 Euros respectively; Then the starting or opening price will be: the second highest bid (120) + 1 increment (10) = 130 Euros.
If two bidders place the same written bid and there are no other bids from the floor the earliest bid will be honored.
If only one written bid is received, and no one bids on the lot during the auction, the lot is sold for the opening price.
Commission
Once a bidder has won a lot a buyers commission of 20% will be added to the “hammer price” (i.e. the winning bid). For example: If there are no other bids and the catalogue price is 125 Euros. Bidding will start at 100 Euros. Let’s say that you enter a written bid of 150 Euros. Because there are no other bidders you would win the lot for 100 euros (the opening price). The lot will cost you: the hammer price (100 Euros) + 20% commission (20 Euros) = 120 Euros.
Only the buyer’s commission and eventual shipping (postage) and/or bank costs are charged, there are no other additional charges, fees or taxes.
