Frequently asked questions
Find out everything you need to know about selling your coins.
Coins made of precious metals are particularly popular, as are rare pre-1950 issues from all countries. They retain their original embossing despite defects and signs of use, which makes them unique historical pieces. Stade Auktionen accepts both gold and silver coins.
Individual items usually fetch a higher price. Nevertheless, we should consider together with you when it makes sense to sell individual items and when it makes sense to sell an entire collection. The valuation of a coin collection depends on factors such as age, origin, rarity, condition and material.
The following conditions apply for consignments:
- The consignor may only consign postcards, stamps and other documents over which he has sole control.
- Consignments can be made at any time and will be included in the next auction.
- The starting prices are generally determined by the auction house. They are based on the current market situation.
- The auctioneer is entitled to accept underbids up to a maximum of 20% of the starting price.
- If the consignor withdraws the goods for reasons for which the consignor is responsible, an expense allowance of EUR 100 per hour shall be payable for the inspection and valuation of the items to be auctioned, but at least EUR 100 per order.
- The sales commission for the auctioneer is 22% of the hammer price. If the hammer price is up to 500 euros, the sales commission is 30% and the insurance costs are 1% of the hammer price. The statutory value added tax is levied on this. Postage costs for any returns shall be borne by the consignor. We charge a fee of 2.50 euros per lot for processing large lots and 1 euro for individual lots.
- The auctioneer cannot accept any liability for auctioned goods. He therefore takes out special auction insurance for the account of the customer, which insures the auctioned goods against all risks within the scope of this contract. The sum insured is 1% of the hammer price.
- If the consignor withdraws the goods for reasons for which he is responsible after the auctioneer has already advertised the goods in the catalog or on the Internet, the goods shall be deemed prepared for the auction and the auctioneer shall settle the order with a further expense allowance. This includes the lost commission of 20% of the starting price of the lot. In addition, the processing fee of EUR 25 per lot, up to a maximum of EUR 300, must be reimbursed. Fees for inspections that are necessary, at the auctioneer’s discretion, will be invoiced separately after consultation.
- Billing takes place 6-8 weeks after the auction.
- Advances are possible for good consignments.
- The place of jurisdiction for all parties involved is Lörrach.

The value and hence the selling price of old coins depends on factors such as age, origin, rarity, condition and material. Rare coins made of precious metals can fetch high prices when sold. You can find current gold prices in our gold price table.
To determine the value of coins, it is important to consult a specialist such as Stade Auktionen. Specialist knowledge is required to correctly assess the value based on factors such as age, origin, rarity, condition and material.
