Answers about selling coins

Selling coins means that coins are inspected, valued and, if you accept the offer, bought at the branch. The valuation is based on the specific coins presented on site.

You bring coins or a coin collection to a precious metal buying branch. Precious metal, fineness, fine weight, condition, authenticity and marketability are checked there. The result is then explained and you decide whether you want to sell.

Coin buying is available at the locations Aachen, Düren, Herzogenrath, Würselen and Alsdorf. The branch pages show contact details, opening hours and directions.
