How to determine the value of bars or coins

Did you receive coins or bars as a gift some time ago and are not sure how much they are worth? Below you will find tips on how to determine the value before talking to an expert.

Certificate of authenticity: When you buy bars, you often receive a certificate of authenticity with them. If you have this to at hand, you can easily identify the name, the precious metal, the fineness and the fine weight and search for the product on the philoro webshop.
Fineness and weight: If the certificate of authenticity is no longer available and you cannot identify the coin, you can estimate the approximate value with the help of the fineness and weight using the precious metal price display, which you can call up in the top line of our website. However, the historical value or coin value is not taken into account.

What happens to the coins and bars you sell to philoro

The bars and coins sold to philoro are either sold again or taken to the philoro GOLDWERK, the refinery in Korneuburg near Vienna, depending on their degree of preservation. At philoro GOLDWERK, the values are melted down and recycled into new investment bars or semi-finished products (such as granulate or ring blanks) for further processing in the jewelry industry.

By selling your coins, for example, you are making a valuable contribution to the environment.

Environmental contribution: All precious metals are returned to the value cycle and recycled.
Lower CO2 footprint: Recycling is much more energy-efficient than mining primary gold.
Conserving resources: By selling jewelry to philoro, you support the careful use of scarce resources.

Creating new value through the sale of coins and bars

Do you have special memories associated with the bars or coins because they have been in your possession for a long time, or you received them as a gift for a special occasion such as a confirmation or first communion? Then we recommend that you create new memories from the old ones and invest the money from the sale well.

New investments from the sale of old coins

Investing money for special events: Are you planning a major investment such as buying a car or property, or would you like to invest money for the future of your offspring? Then selling coins could form the basis for this investment. In addition to conventional savings accounts, in which the money is parked and even reduced in value depending on interest rates, there are other investment options such as the philoro PRECIOUS METAL SAVINGS PLAN. This allows you to invest an amount from €25 per month in the precious metals gold, silver, platinum and palladium and thus invest in a golden future bit by bit.
Give the gift of memories: Give the gift of joy and use the money from the sale of the coin for a beautiful, shiny present and pass on lasting memories to others.
Create new experiences: Replace the value of the memory with an experience, such as a day out with your family or a city break you've always wanted to take. Even a small adventure such as a special hike or indoor skydiving could remind you of the sale of coins in the long term.
