- Fair both waysWe buy back what we sell
Gold, bought with your eyes open.
We deal in bullion coins, proof coins and independently certified coins, and we would rather talk you out of the wrong purchase than sell it to you.
Every price on this site is worked out live from the metal market, and every coin page shows you exactly how much of that price is gold, how much is our premium, and how much is VAT. You see it before you commit, and we confirm it with you before you pay.

Read the articleThe questions people actually ask
Can I buy a single coin?
Yes. There is no minimum order, and plenty of our customers start with one sovereign.
Why does the price change while I am looking?
Our prices are worked out live from the gold, silver and platinum markets, which move all day. When you send us your order we confirm the final price with you before you pay.
How do I know your coins are genuine?
Every coin is weighed, measured and has its milled edge checked before it is listed. The Royal Mint has warned publicly about counterfeit sovereigns and Britannias, so we take this seriously.
How is my order delivered?
Fully insured, tracked and signed for, in discreet packaging that says nothing about what is inside. UK addresses only.
How long does delivery take?
Usually a few working days after your payment clears. We tell you the dispatch date when we confirm your order.
Do you store gold for customers?
No. We do not offer storage or vaulting. The coins you buy are delivered to you and they are yours outright. Our storage guide explains the options.
Will you buy my coins back?
Yes, and we quote the same way we quote when you buy: the metal at today’s price, shown clearly. See how to sell gold coins.
I am new to gold. Where do I start?
