Common questions

Are rare or old sovereigns worth more than bullion?

They can be. Pre-Victorian and proof sovereigns can carry numismatic premiums above their bullion value. We assess each coin individually and will tell you if yours qualifies for a premium.

Do you buy coins in mixed conditions?

Yes. We buy sovereigns and bullion coins whatever their wear, whether scratched, circulated or uncirculated. Condition can affect a coin's value, particularly its numismatic value, and we explain any effect in your offer.

Can I sell foreign gold coins?

Yes. We buy Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, Eagles, Napoleons, ducats and almost any recognised gold coin from any country or mint.

How do I know your offer is fair?

Our offer is calculated transparently: weight × purity × live spot price × our purchase rate. We show you every figure, so you can check it against any live gold price source.
