Unrivalled prices offered for gold coin collections
We prioritise factors like authenticity, condition, rarity, intrinsic gold value and market demand. We assess whether your coins are uncirculated or proof-grade, as higher-quality strikes with minimal wear command premium prices. Rarity and historical significance influence collector demand, especially for limited-edition commemoratives or early sovereigns with low mintages. Contact Hepplewhites today to discover the true value of your gold coin collection.
Why sell your gold coin collection with Hepplewhites?
Traditionally, those seeking to sell a collection of gold coins might assume a public auction to be the most effective approach to get the best prices for their items. However, because of the current buyer’s premium of 30% (inclusive of VAT), the buyers bidding on your items will reduce their bids accordingly.

Additionally, an auction house will also charge you a seller’s fee, illustration fee and insurance, as well as VAT, meaning that if your item sells, you will only receive 45% of the true value and if it doesn’t sell, you will still be responsible for paying the auction house certain fees.
In addition, it may take up to three months after the auction house consigns your pieces for the first appropriate sale to occur and at least another month until you are paid, making a total of four months minimum before you receive any payment. Any unsold pieces will be re-entered into another sale, often taking several months before another suitable sale is arranged. Furthermore, since the item has already been exposed to the market, you will have to lower your price to encourage the sale, as your item will now be less appealing to potential customers.
Choosing Hepplewhites gives you peace of mind that you will receive true market value when selling gold coins; a streamlined and discreet approach to selling, without the risk of going unsold, or delayed payments. We pay 100% of our valuation to you.

How do we value gold coins?
Our specialists have a huge amount of experience in valuing gold coin collections, with up to date knowledge of current collector trends and market demand. Here are the key factors we take into account when valuing gold coins and coin collections.
Authenticity and certification
We check for genuine mint marks, correct weight and proper gold content. Coins certified by grading services, like NGC, carry more credibility and value.
Condition and grade
The state of preservation is crucial, with uncirculated or proof-grade coins commanding higher prices. Coins with minimal wear, good reflective qualities and sharp details are more desirable.
Rarity and mintage numbers
Low-mintage coins, limited-edition proofs and historic gold pieces (e.g. early Sovereigns or rare Krugerrands) are valued higher due to their scarcity.
Gold content and intrinsic value
The weight and purity of gold directly impacts the coin’s base value, especially for bullion coins like Krugerrands, which fluctuate with gold prices.
