Valuing bullion can be important for several reasons: 

1. Estate planning: When dividing an inheritance, it is crucial to determine the value of the assets, such as gold coins and bars. An accurate appraisal helps in the fair distribution of the assets among the heirs. 
2. Tax purposes: In several jurisdictions, including the Netherlands and Belgium, inheritance taxes apply on the value of inherited assets, including precious metals. A professional appraisal is necessary when determining the correct tax obligations. The value of the precious metal must be determined retroactively to the date of death as part of the inheritance statement. This is a list of the assets (property) in the estate with their value on the date of death. Part of the appraisal is therefore determining the right course. After all, prices of precious metals are constantly changing.  
3. Insurance: if you want to take out insurance for gold coins and bars, a valuation is required. An appraisal report can help in obtaining the right insurance coverage.
4. Sale or retention: an appraisal is a tool for making a choice. If you know the value, you can decide whether to keep the gold coins and bars as an investment or to sell them. An accurate valuation is essential to make informed decisions. This applies in particular to the administration of an inheritance (undivided estate).
