Whether it is jewelry, silverware, coins, bars or a complete estate, we will give you an honest and expert insight into the current market value.
We regularly receive visitors from Middelburg, Vlissingen, Veere, Domburg, Oostkapelle, Arnemuiden and Goes who wish to have their gold or silver appraised. Many people have old jewelry, heirlooms or collectibles of which they do not know the exact value. During an appraisal, we will look at weight, content, condition, rarity, provenance and the current gold and silver price, so that you can get a realistic idea of the possibilities.
Why have gold and silver appraised near Middelburg?
A local appraisal offers security and personal contact. You do not have to send your valuable objects and receive immediate explanations from experienced auction experts. Instead of only looking at melting value, we also assess collector's value, design, craftsmanship and market demand. As a result, in many cases the proceeds from an auction can be higher than if you sell based solely on metal weight.
Among other things, we value:
- Gold jewelry and old gold
- Silver jewelry and silverware
- Gold and silver from estates
- Investment gold and silver bars
- Antique silver and special objects
Selling gold and silver through auction
Are you considering selling your gold or silver in Middelburg or surroundings? If so, we will guide you from valuation to auction. We provide professional photography, a clear description and inclusion in our auction catalog. Your objects will be presented to a wide network of buyers and collectors, increasing the chances of a strong return. Particularly special jewelry, antique silver and unique pieces can fetch more than just the metal value via auction.
We always discuss transparently which sales route best suits your objects. Sometimes direct sale based on weight makes sense, but often an auction proves more attractive due to the interest of collectors or enthusiasts. You will receive clear advice in advance so that you can make your own informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an online appraisal at Medusa Auctioneers work?
An online appraisal is intended as a quick, no-obligation initial valuation. You fill in the form with a short description of the object and add clear photos. On this basis, we assess whether the object fits within our auctions and you will receive an indication of the expected market value. We not only consider material or weight, but also origin, period, state of preservation, rarity and current market developments.
An online appraisal provides clarity on the possible sales route, for example, contribution for auction. If additional information is needed, we will contact you. In some cases we recommend having the object appraised on location, for example with larger pieces or complete collections.
What photos and information increase the accuracy of the appraisal?
Preferably include several photos: an overall view, close-ups of details, any signatures or hallmarks, and photos of damage. For gold and silver, clear photos of stamps, hallmarks and clasps help. If possible, include weight, dimensions, provenance and any documentation.
The more complete the information, the better we can estimate market value and auction suitability. In doubt about what is relevant? Then you can always provide multiple photos, and we will indicate whether additional information is needed.
What can I have appraised and when is a property interesting for auction?
You can have gold jewelry, silverware, ingots, coins, watches and heirlooms valued, among other things. Whether an object is suitable for auction depends on design, quality, rarity and market demand. Antique silver, special jewelry or objects with an identifiable maker can be of particular interest to collectors.
Unsure if your property is suitable? Then an online appraisal is a good first step. We give you honest advice and clearly explain the options available.
Why does auctioning sometimes yield more than selling at metal value?
In metal value sales, the price is primarily determined by weight and content. In an auction, factors such as design, brand, craftsmanship and collector's value can play a major role. As a result, the final yield may be higher than the melt value alone.
We therefore look beyond the material. During the appraisal, we assess all relevant aspects and advise you on the most logical sales strategy.
What is the process if I decide to submit my objects for auction?
If you decide to contribute, we will coordinate the follow-up process together. After final evaluation, we schedule your objects for an appropriate auction category. We take care of cataloguing, photography and presentation to buyers. During viewing days, interested parties can view the objects and then bid during the auction.
Afterwards, you will receive the sale results and we will finalize everything administratively. We communicate clearly about the process and guide you step by step.
