What do we pay for a Silver tientje?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.62 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 guilders 1970 | 18 g | 25 g | €29.20 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure silver it contains.
This coin is 720‰ pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.
The 1970 jubilee ten-guilder piece (Juliana) is 720; later commemorative ten-guilder pieces have other finenesses.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Questions about selling Silver tientje
How much silver is in the 1970 ten-guilder piece?
The coin weighs 25 grams and holds 18 grams of fine silver at 720. That fine weight is what our offer is built on, multiplied by the silver rate at the moment you are standing at the counter, with our margin deducted in front of you.
Are all silver ten-guilder pieces the same?
No, and the difference matters. The 1970 jubilee coin for Juliana is 720 fine, while later commemorative ten-guilder pieces were struck to other standards. The valuer checks the year and the fineness of each coin rather than applying one figure to the whole set.
Is the jubilee coin worth more than its silver?
Usually not by much. It was struck in large numbers, so the silver content normally decides the price. Where a piece is in exceptional condition or still sealed in its original packaging, we look at the collector’s market as well and quote you the better figure.
Do you need to see my passport?
A passport, identity card or driving licence, yes: valid photo identification is required before we can pay out. It is a legal obligation on precious metal buyers in the Netherlands rather than a preference of ours, and it applies to every transaction regardless of the amount involved.
Can I be paid in cash?
Yes, smaller amounts are paid in cash at the counter as soon as you accept the offer. Above a certain level we pay by bank transfer instead, and that money is in your account within 24 hours. You decide whether to accept before anything is handed over.
