Which gold coins we buy

We buy bullion and old gold coins including Sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias, American Eagles and Canadian Maples. Each coin is assayed and weighed, and valued on its gold content against the live LBMA spot price.

For higher-value coin collections we split parcels across separate insured Special Delivery bags so the whole shipment stays covered. If a coin has collectable value beyond its metal, tell us and we'll take that into account.

Which gold coins we buy and how we value them

We buy gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias and most other bullion coins. For bullion coins the value is driven by gold content and the live LBMA price, so a full sovereign is valued on its known gold weight against the live market.

Some coins are worth more than their melt value because they are rare, in exceptional condition or sought after by collectors. If you think a coin may have collectable value, let us know and we will take that into account rather than simply assessing it for its metal. Either way you receive a transparent offer before you accept.

Bullion coins are valued on their gold content at the LBMA spot price. Where a coin has genuine numismatic value above its metal, let us know and we'll factor that in.

How are higher-value parcels insured?
