Selling gold bars through Holland Gold takes place in five simple steps:
Many investors choose to sell gold bars when the gold price is high, when they want to take profits or when they wish to rebalance their assets.
We purchase nearly all gold bars, including these well-known LBMA bars:
The most common gold bar weights we purchase are:
Although most gold bars we purchase range from 1 gram to 1 kilo, larger formats can also be sold in exceptional cases, such as the international 12.5 kilo Good Delivery gold bar.
Would you like to sell a gold bar from another producer, or an older gold bar without LBMA certification? Please contact us for a price indication. In addition to gold bars, you can also sell gold coins to us.
LBMA-certified gold bars are gold bars produced by internationally recognised refiners that comply with the quality standards of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). As a result, these gold bars are easily tradable worldwide.
As the first Dutch precious metals dealer to be accepted as an Affiliate Member of the LBMA, Holland Gold has extensive expertise in the professional purchase, inspection and assessment of LBMA-certified gold bars. In addition, Holland Gold operates according to the international guidelines and standards of the LBMA.
LBMA gold bars are generally marked with the producer’s logo or name, a weight indication and a minimum purity of 99.99% gold. In many cases, the bar also includes a serial number.
Gold bars from LBMA-recognised refiners generally achieve the highest buy-back prices. Refiners such as Umicore, Valcambi and C. Hafner are internationally recognised and highly sought after in the global gold market.
Non-LBMA gold bars can often also be sold. In many cases, Holland Gold is able to purchase these gold bars as well. The price depends on:
Not exactly sure what kind of gold bar you have? Contact us for a no-obligation assessment or valuation.
Holland Gold works with the spot price: the current market price at which gold is traded internationally. This price changes continuously based on supply and demand in the global market. That is why our bid prices are automatically adjusted every minute in line with the international gold price.
The price you receive when selling your gold bar depends, among other things, on:
At Holland Gold, we pay a fixed percentage of the gold price. For LBMA-certified gold bars, this is 98.5% of the spot price. Through our tool, you can immediately see in real time what price we are paying for your gold bar at that moment.
Once you give your approval by phone, we immediately lock in the price for you, giving you full price certainty. Any subsequent rise or fall in the gold price will no longer affect your selling price. This way, you know exactly where you stand in advance.
If you would also like to sell other precious metals alongside your gold bars, Holland Gold also purchases gold coins, silver, platinum and palladium. For all precious metals, we offer transparent bid prices linked in real time to the international market prices.
Upon receipt, our specialists immediately verify the weight, dimensions, purity and authenticity of your gold bars. We use professional testing equipment for this process. Gold bars from recognised refiners can generally be easily identified by their weight, serial number, logo and gold purity.
