Which old coins do we purchase?
Our purchasing experts assess coins from all common precious metals and historical periods. We purchase coins that serve both as investments and as collector’s items:- Historical coins: Ancient and historical mintings with cultural or historical significance.
- Collector coins (numismatics): Specific series, minting errors or rare years whose value exceeds the pure metal price.
- Bullion coins: Common bullion coins that are particularly easy to sell due to their high liquidity (e.g. Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, Vienna Philharmonic).
How the purchase of your old coins works
We place great importance on a simple, fast and above all trustworthy process:- Visit a branch: Simply bring your coins to one of our branches and have them examined by our experts.
- Valuation: Our specialists determine the exact value of your coins based on the current precious metal price and – where applicable – their numismatic collector’s value. Pricing is transparent and easy to understand.
