When to sell gold Napoleon or gold coins
The best time to sell your gold coins is never entirely obvious. You can track prices[RC1] , study charts and keep an eye on the premium. However, there are other factors [RC2] that exert an influence on the price of gold, including market conditions, inflation, real interest rates and the geopolitical situation.
As mentioned above, there is of course the premium as well as the spot price.
- The premium is the percentage difference between the spot price of a coin and the ask or bid price.
- The spot price is the intrinsic value of the coin, that is, the value of the gold contained in it as based on the price of gold on international markets.
The buyer will look to buy the investment-grade coin that has the lowest premium while the seller wants to sell at the highest premium. The prices displayed on our website already include the premium and any fees.

You will find places that buy and sell gold in Luxembourg. Transactions are quick, simple and secure. Look into an establishment’s reputation before going. The sector is booming, which means many unscrupulous traders have opened their doors too.
The experts at GFI will inspect your coins and determine whether they deserve a premium on top of their intrinsic value. There are other factors that play in calculating the sale price of gold coins, like supply and demand, rarity, condition of the coins (those that are very damaged can still be smelted), and numismatic value (for rare and collectible coins). They will then give you a no-obligation valuation for your coins. You should store your coins in a sealed bag. If your coins are not in a sealed bag, avoid cleaning them as you risk damaging them.
