International Coin Auctions in Amsterdam. Serving Collectors Worldwide

Schulman B.V. has been organising coin auctions in Amsterdam since 1880. Our auctions have a strong European character and are followed by an international audience of collectors, researchers and institutions. In each catalogue, we present Dutch coins, provincial issues, VOC-related material, world coins, antique coins and awards. Our historical expertise, combined with strong international interest, ensures that each lot reaches a wide numismatic audience.

Selling your coins at auction with Schulman

Collectors, heirs and institutions can consign single coins, tokens or complete collections to our auctions. Our appraisers assess quality, provenance and market value and advise whether auction or direct sale suits you best. Every lot is described, photographed and included in the catalogue, and where it helps the result we have it certified by NGC or PCGS. This way your collection reaches collectors at home and abroad.

How does participating in a Schulman B.V. auction work?

To participate in a Schulman B.V. auction, first register on our auction platform at auctions.schulman.nl. Once registered, you can browse the catalogue, place advance bids, or bid live during the auction. You may participate in person at our Amsterdam location, online via the platform, or by submitting written bids in advance. Payment and shipping arrangements are handled after the auction concludes.

Can I bid from abroad?

Yes. Our auctions are fully accessible to participants in Europe and worldwide. Thanks to multiple bidding options, you can participate safely and reliably, regardless of your location.

‍Bidding options for international participants:
  1. Live online bidding via our own environment: auctions.schulman.nl. This allows you to follow the auction in real time and make bids immediately.
  2. Written bids submitted by email or through recognised international platforms such as NumisBids and Sixbid; your bids are processed discreetly in advance.
  3. Telephone bidding for higher-value lots (from 1000 euros). You can reserve a telephone line beforehand, after which a staff member will call you during the lot in the auction room.

Are lots shipped worldwide

Yes. Schulman b.v. ships within the Netherlands and internationally. We prefer an insured shipment via FedEx because of its reliability and fast delivery. The costs for FedEx are 15 euro within the Netherlands and 30 euro for foreign shipments.

For large or heavy packages that have a different size, a special shipping method may be required. In that case, we will inform you in advance about the additional costs and options.

On request, we also ship via PostNL, for example for smaller or less valuable shipments.

Why do I need to register a credit card when I sign up for online bidding?

Safety and fair auctions are the top priority at Schulman. That's why we require credit card authentication upon registration to participate in live bids. This prevents identity fraud and so-called “ghost bids”. The credit card you register does not have to be used for payment, it can be made by invoice.

Does Schulman also sell banknotes?

Yes, of course. Every year, we organize at least one auction that is entirely dedicated to banknotes.

Why do you ask for a credit card when you register for online bidding?

To ensure the reliability of our auctions, we require credit card verification upon registration. This helps prevent identity fraud and unwanted bidding behavior. The credit card provided is used for verification purposes only.

What happens after I win a lot?

You will receive an overview of your purchase in your account. Payment instructions are sent automatically. After receipt of payment, your lots will be securely packaged and shipped insured, or they can be picked up by appointment in Amsterdam.

When will new auctions appear and how often will they be held?

Schulman B.V. organises several auctions per year with fixed seasonal editions. In addition, there are selection auctions with special or high-quality lots and online E-auctions for wider collections. New dates will be announced on the website in good time.

In addition to coins, are other items being auctioned?

Yes. In addition to coins, we also auction tokens, medals, banknotes and numismatic collectibles. There are regular specialized auctions for paper money.
