Purchase of gold coins

September 10, 2025

Gold has fascinated people for centuries – it's a symbol of wealth, stability, and a secure investment. Gold coins hold a special place in numismatics. For some, they're a capital investment, for others, a collector's passion, and for many, a family heirloom that's been sitting in a treasure chest for years. Regardless of how they came into our possession, the question always arises: how and where to sell gold coins to get the best price and complete transaction security? The answer is a professional gold coin buyer .

Why are gold coins so valuable?

The value of gold coins is influenced by several factors:

  • the gold content itself (e.g. 900, 916, 999) is of great importance because it provides a minimum value based on the current market price of the metal.
  • Perfectly preserved specimens can fetch prices many times higher than the same coins in circulating condition.
  • the smaller the circulation and the more difficult it is to obtain, the greater the interest from collectors.
  • Gold coins issued in specific historical periods, e.g. during the partitions or the Second Polish Republic, have additional sentimental and historical value.
  • coins from prestigious mints (e.g. Austro-Hungarian ducats, Russian rubles or German gold marks) are particularly valued on the market.

Due to these factors, many gold coins are sold for significantly more than their face value. Therefore, it's best not to limit yourself to selling them by weight, but to seek the opinion of specialists.

Buying gold coins – what does the process look like?

Professional gold coin purchasing is a quick and transparent process. At Wójcicki Auction House, it's done in a few simple steps:

  • Customers can submit photos of their coins online or visit in person. Experts will analyze the coins' condition, provenance, and potential collectible value free of charge.
  • Based on the assessment, a price proposal is presented, depending not only on the gold content but also on the rarity of the coin.
  • You can choose to sell your coins immediately or put them up for auction, where they often fetch impressive amounts.
  • the entire process is fully legal and transparent.

Why is it not worth selling gold coins "quickly"?

A common mistake is to sell gold coins solely at their gold price. In this case, you can lose up to several hundred percent of their potential value. For example, the popular Austrian ducat is worth around several hundred zlotys as gold, but in excellent collector's condition, it can fetch much higher prices. An even better example are historical coins from the pre-war period – their collector's value often far exceeds the price of gold.

Therefore, it is best to use the services of specialists who can distinguish an ordinary bullion coin from a unique collector's item.
