Selling Antique Coins

Antique coins are tangible relics of ancient civilizations and tell stories that go back thousands of years. Think Roman denarii, Greek drachms, or Byzantine solidi. These coins not only represent a precious metal value, but above all a rich historical and cultural significance. If you want to sell antique coins, Schulman b.v. has been a reliable partner in numismatics for more than 145 years. Our experts ensure a careful valuation and supervise the entire sales process.

What are antique coins?

Antique coins are usually coins from Antiquity, mainly from the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, or other civilizations before the Middle Ages. These coins are often hand-struck and have a great historical and collectable value, depending on rarity, origin and condition.

Value of antique coins

The value of antique coins is determined by several factors. Rarity plays an important role. A coin that has only been preserved in limited numbers is often highly sought after by collectors. Quality and preservation also have a lot of influence. A coin that is sharply minted and well preserved usually has a significantly higher value than a heavily circulated one. In addition, the historical context adds extra significance. For example, a coin that dates back to the time of Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great immediately appeals to the imagination and therefore often has a higher collectable value. At Schulman, we always look beyond metal value and assess coins on their numismatic importance, authenticity and market potential.
