We regularly receive visitors from Utrecht, De Bilt, Nieuwegein, Houten, Zeist and surrounding towns who wish to have their gold or silver appraised.

Why have gold and silver appraised in the Utrecht region?
A professional valuation in the Utrecht region offers clarity and personal contact. You do not have to send your valuable objects and receive immediate advice from experienced auction experts. Many people think that old gold is assessed solely on the basis of the gold price, but factors such as design, maker, craftsmanship and collector's value can play a major role in the final yield. A comprehensive appraisal will give you insight into both the metal value and potential collectible value of your gold and silver.
Among other things, we value:
- Gold jewelry, old gold and damaged jewelry
- Silverware such as cutlery, dishes, candlesticks and decorative objects
- Gold and silver from estates or collections
- Investment gold and silver bars
- Special pieces with artistic or historical collector's value
Selling gold and silver by auction from Utrecht
Are you considering selling your gold or silver from Utrecht? Then we will guide you from the initial valuation to the final auction. We provide professional photography, a clear lot description and a strong presentation in our catalog, so that your objects become visible to a wide network of collectors and buyers. See also our current calendar for upcoming appraisal times or take a look at our online auction To see how objects are presented.
We always give honest and transparent advice on the best sales strategy. Sometimes direct sale is appropriate when it is purely about melting value, but regularly an auction proves more interesting because several buyers bid against each other. Especially with antique silver, special jewelry or objects with a recognizable maker, this can make a significant difference in proceeds. Our goal is that you not only know what your gold or silver is worth, but also which sales route best suits your needs and situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an online gold and silver valuation in Utrecht at Medusa Auctioneers work?
Residents from Utrecht and surrounding areas can easily request an online valuation by sending clear photos and a description of their gold or silver. We look not only at weight and content, but also at design, style period, state of preservation and current demand from collectors and buyers. Based on this, you will receive an initial indication and advice on possible next steps.
An online appraisal is completely optional and intended to provide quick insight. When we believe a property has additional potential for auction, we recommend a physical appraisal so that details such as hallmarks and finishes can be closely examined.
What information helps with a gold and silver appraisal in Utrecht?
For an accurate assessment, we would like to receive several photos from different angles. Close ups of hallmarks, stamps and details of the design are important because they provide a lot of information about origin and quality. If possible, please also include weight, dimensions and any background information.
The more information you provide, the better we can provide a realistic valuation. Are you unsure if certain details are important? Feel free to send additional photos. We look at everything carefully and give honest advice about the possibilities.
What can I have gold and silver valued in Utrecht?
In Utrecht you can come to us with gold jewelry, old gold, silverware, ingots, heirlooms and collectibles. Especially special jewelry and antique silver regularly turn out to be worth more than expected because collectors are interested in unique designs.
Even if you have a mixed collection or are unsure of the value, you are welcome to come in for a no-obligation appraisal where we will explain everything at your leisure.
Why can auctioning from Utrecht yield more than selling at gold price or silver price?
When selling based on gold or silver price, weight and content are primarily considered. In an auction, design, maker, rarity and collector's value also play a role. Because multiple buyers bid against each other, the final yield can be higher than the melt value alone.
During an appraisal, we explain in detail what factors affect value and which sales route best suits your situation.

When you decide to bring in your gold or silver from Utrecht for auction, we start with a final appraisal. Then we take care of photography, description and inclusion in the catalog. During viewing days, interested parties can view the objects and then bid during the auction.
