Selling 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.

Do you have rare or special antique coins, such as a golden aureus or a unique provincial issue? Then selling via an international auction can be the best way to achieve optimal results. Your coins are carefully valued, accurately described and presented in our luxury auction catalogue and via our online platform. This allows you to reach a worldwide network of collectors and enthusiasts, which increases the chance of a very good yield.

At Schulman b.v., we focus on a wide range of antique coins. This includes Greek drachms and tetradrachms, as well as Roman denarii, sesterces, and aurei. Byzantine coins in gold, silver and copper also find their way into our catalogues. Furthermore, provincial and local issues from ancient times are regularly part of our auctions and sales.
