A visit is not always necessary. We can often give you a good indication of what you have by phone, or from a few photos.
Free and without obligation. You are not committed to anything.
With these coins the year decides whether there is more to it than the metal value. Our knowledge base lists them year by year, so you often know within a minute. That saves you the wait.
Is your coin not among these, or are you not certain? Do send us photos. We would rather look once too often than too little.
Not every coin calls for a visit. What you have decides the route, so you only come to Amsterdam when it genuinely adds something.
Then the metal value counts. We buy those coins ourselves, and we usually arrange that by email or phone. You do not need to travel for it.
Then your piece fetches more at auction than in a direct sale. We are glad to invite you to the Jan Luijkenstraat, so a specialist can take his time with it.
Modern circulation coinage and leftover holiday money are not something we handle. We say so straight away, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
A phone works fine for this. The sharper the image, the more we can tell straight away.
A photo of both sides. The reverse often tells us more than the obverse.
Hold the phone flat above the coin, not at an angle. That keeps the edge lettering readable.
By a window works best. A flash puts a white blot in the middle of the coin.
Please do not clean the coins before photographing them. A cleaned coin is almost always worth less than the same coin with its old surface.
