Selling Gold and Silver

We buy investment gold bars and coins in mint-state condition. Smaller fractional coins will be bought back at a higher premium than the gold spot price. CelticGold offers highest buy back prices, however, market circumstances can change and so does the buy back price. In times of extrem demand, buy back prices will rise above spot price and in times of no demand buy back price will move below spot price. Sell back (means we buy back from you) prices can be found in both the product catalogue and product pages.

Products with damage will be bought back too, please indicate this with detailed pictures, so our screening team may assess the damage and provide an individual buy back price for scrap or b-quality graded products.

We buy back investment silver coins and bars. The buyback price is visible on the website in each product. If you sell to us from storage than we are happy to offer a higher buy back price as we don't have to screen for authenticity. As with gold so with silver, depending on market cycles, buy back price may vary and we display buy back indications in the product catalogue.

Semi-Numismatics trade at higher premiums, please contact us for an individual quotation.

If you do not want to ship the gold and silver products at your own risk we offer an insured pick up for all European Union member states. If you wish to instruct an insured pick up then please select the option in the checkout. The pick up costs will be deducted from the credit note. CelticGold will not invoice shipping costs upfront or separately.

The shipping cost examples show different insurance values for different countries with different weights.

Example 1: You sell 5 gold coins of each 1 oz with an exemplary value of 1,000 Euros each to us, then your package will weigh 1 kilo with 5,000 Euros total insured value.

Example 2: You sell one box of 500 silver coins back to us. Then your package will weigh 17 kilos total with an insured value of 18,000 Euros.

We ask you to take proper care when packing gold and silver coins into the package. Gold coins should be packed in the original container or single wrapped, so they cannot be damaged during transport. Silver coins for example should only be transported in the original tube. In addition the tube should be taped around the lid so the lid can’t fall off during the transport and the coins get damaged. 

We have outlined detailed packing instructions in the sellback confirmation email.

CelticGold tests -nondestructive- each single gold and silver product that will be bought back with different methods. We test with different mechanical and electronically methods such as Ultrasound, Magnetic Scale and Conductivity to ensure a 100% correct screening result. Please allow a maximum of 72 hours for the screening and testing process to be finalized.

You sell the product to us and after receipt and screening of the product we will confirm to you with the exchange rate of your preferred crypto coin. After your okay we will send the amount of crypto coins to your address that you provided in the buy back letter. A 2.49% handling charge will be applied.

It is the same as selling back silver or gold, you may add the sellback order to our shop and add the sealbag numbers into the comment field.

When it comes to selling silver coins you may also sell the "different year, margin scheme" coins from older years stored in the sealbag.

If you instructed CelticGold to arrange a pickup order, the insurance will cover the value of the gold and silver products. After an internal investigation by UPS, you will receive payment to your bank account within six weeks.

Please note that there are specific instructions that must be followed in order to maintain the insurance coverage (see the details in the purchase confirmation email).

We have developed a three step process to buy back rare and numismatic coins which will result in the highest possible buy-back price for our customers. 

1st Step - First Preview - FREE of charge.

1) Customer sends pictures to CelticGold of front and back side for first preview

2) We give a very rough indication which leads to a decision for yes or no to move the product for deep screening.

2nd Step - Deep Screen & Move of Product - Fees apply

3) Customer says yes -> We will move the products to our secure facility in Germany

4) CelticGold will perform deep screen, containing:

4a) Lawful documentation of weight, measures, metal properties and ultra-high-res pictures

4b) we provide this info back to the customer 

(this way we eliminate the risk of an exchanged returned product)

4c) We provide third party analysis (not legally binding) from a numismatic expert

This will result in a +- 90% certainty about the value of the examined product

4d) Customer may wants to have the product back -> CelticGold will ship back to vault

3rd Step - Auction or Buy Back

5) Decision: Buy back

5a) We will buy back at an agreed price and pay out

6) Decision Auction incl. legal binding certification (additional charges may apply)

6a) The value of the examined product is very high compared to metal value so the product may move to a specialized auctioneer in Germany who will also provide a legal binding certification.

Cost: 225 Euro plus 19% VAT plus insurance for shipment. 3.00 Euro per 1,000 Euro value.

CelticGold buys back a wide range of investment gold and silver products, including bullion coins and bars from recognised mints and refiners.
