Selling gold coins requires accurate valuation and expert guidance.
Unlike regular gold jewelry, the value of a coin cannot be determined solely by the weight of the gold. Its origin, rarity, and
collectible value also play a role. At Robert Den Expert, your gold coins are carefully analyzed
to provide you with an objective and transparent valuation.
Many people own gold coins without knowing exactly what they are worth. Sometimes
these are investment coins that were purchased years ago, but just as often they are coins that
were acquired through inheritance or as a family heirloom. A professional appraisal offers
clarity and helps you make an informed decision.
In addition, the tax implications of physical gold also play a role for many owners. In
Belgium, a capital gains tax has been in effect since January 1, 2026, on certain financial assets,
including investment gold.

What determines the value of a gold coin?
The value of a gold coin is determined by various factors. In some
cases, the gold value is decisive, while in others, the collector's value
also plays an important role. An expert assessment is therefore essential.
A professional appraisal takes into account, among other things:
- the weight of the gold
- the gold content of the coin
- the current price of gold on the international market
- the type of coin and its origin
- the potential collectible or historical value
- the state of the currency
By assessing these elements together, a complete picture of the value is created. This prevents a coin with collector's value from being assessed solely on the basis of its gold weight or a coin that, due to its worn condition, has no coin value but does have scrap value.
Common gold coins
There are several well-known investment coins within the international gold market. Some
coins are traded worldwide and have a recognizable value on the market for
precious metals.
Examples of well-known gold coins include the Krugerrand, the Maple Leaf, and the
Napoleon coin. These coins are often purchased as a form of asset protection or
investment in physical gold. If you want to sell such coins, it is important
that both the gold value and any collector's value are correctly assessed.
An experienced expert can assess whether a coin has value primarily as a gold investment
or whether it also has collector's value.
Sell or keep gold coins?
If you own gold coins, you may wonder whether it is wise to sell them at
or keep them. Some people see gold coins as a long-term investment,
while others choose to free up the capital for other investments.
The choice depends on various factors, such as your financial situation, the current gold price
, and any future plans. A professional valuation helps to get a clear picture of the current value of your coins
.
In inheritance situations, an independent appraisal can also be important
in order to correctly determine the value for all heirs involved.

Tax considerations when selling investment gold
The tax context can also play a role in the sale of physical gold. In Belgium, since January 1, 2026, a capital gains tax of 10% has been levied on certain financial assets
. For investors in physical gold, this may mean that tax will also be levied on this
when it is sold.
It is important to note that the tax would only apply to the capital gains
(the difference between the purchase price and the sale price) and not to the full sale price
of the gold. In addition, an annual exemption is applied, which means that smaller
capital gains are often exempt from tax.
For owners of gold bars, it may therefore be wise to consider the
tax implications of a possible sale in good time. Accurate documentation of the purchase price and
a clear valuation of the gold play an important role in this.
