Especially for heirs and executors

Have you inherited a coin collection, a box of old banknotes, or a combination of coins, tokens and decorations? The emotional value and the financial value often overlap in such cases.

That is why we offer structured guidance for estates and complete collections. In broad terms, you go through the following steps:

  1. Initial contact and inventory
    You contact us by phone, email or via the contact form. We determine the scope and provenance of the collection.
  2. Safe transfer of the objects
    This can take place at our office in Amsterdam, at your home, at a fair or via insured transport, depending on what is practical and safe.
  3. Appraisal and strategy advice
    Our specialists assess provenance, rarity, quality and market interest. We then discuss together which pieces are better suited for direct sale and which for auction.
  4. Presentation and sale
    The selected items are included in our catalogues and online auction platforms, so they reach a worldwide audience.
  5. Settlement and reporting
    After the sale you receive a detailed overview of the results and payment is made according to the agreed terms.

Frequently asked questions about selling coins and collectibles

See all frequently asked questions

What is the best way to sell my coin collection?

The best way to sell your collection depends on the rarity, condition and value of your coins. Rare or exceptional pieces typically achieve the highest results at auction due to international interest and competitive bidding.

If your collection mainly consists of precious-metal coins or more common collector coins, a direct sale based on current market value may be the most suitable option. During the appraisal, we discuss which route is most appropriate for your situation.

Can I sell inherited coins and paper money with you?

Yes. We regularly assist heirs and executors in selling inherited coins, paper money, medals and decorations. We begin with an inventory of the collection, explain the available options and advise on the optimal combination of direct sale and auction.

Throughout the entire process, you maintain full clarity and control over the decisions.

Do I need to know in advance which coins are valuable?

No, you do not. Our specialists assess each item based on metal, rarity, condition, provenance and collector value. You do not need to sort or pre-select your collection.

If available, bringing purchase receipts, older catalogues or correspondence is helpful, as these documents allow us to document provenance more accurately, often improving presentation and sales results.

What does it cost to sell through Schulman?

Valuation is always free and non-binding. In case of direct sales, you will receive an immediate bid. In the event of an auction, a commission percentage applies that is discussed in advance. You always know in advance what costs there are. After the auction, you will receive a complete overview of the results and payment will take place in accordance with the agreements made.
