Our specialists cover almost every area of numismatics, allowing us to guarantee an accurate and professional description of your objects, no matter where they come from.

Customer register

With Schulman's long history and our international presence, we have a world-class customer base, with customers that many other auction houses don't have.

Coin grading

Do you want to have your coins, banknotes or medals graded by a third party in connection with sales? “Degrees” refers to the process of assessing and certifying the condition of an object by a professional organization. Schulman is a certified dealer with PCGS, NGC, and PMG and is happy to help you with this assessment so you can get the most out of your items when selling. With our experience, we can also advise on which of your items could benefit from this service.

International presence

One of the pillars of Schulman's success is our international presence, which, together with a customer base that we've maintained since 1880, ensures that Schulman has one of the broadest customer bases on the market. We participate in the largest coin fairs worldwide and regularly visit countries such as the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Germany and other parts of Europe.

FAQs

How do I sell my collection?
At Schulman, we offer various solutions to sell your collection. In addition to sales through our auctions, we can also offer direct sales. We then make an offer based on current market prices and pay immediately.
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.
Does Schulman also auction banknotes?
Yes. Schulman b.v. regularly organises specialized auctions with a strong emphasis on paper money. These auctions are announced well in advance and attract interested parties from home and abroad.
