Settling an estate is often a difficult time, and gold coins can add to the complexity, particularly if the collection is large, mixed or includes coins you can't identify. We specialise in estate collections: a full itemised assessment, an itemised purchase record for the estate's accounts, and a single transparent offer within 24 hours of receipt.

How it works

01

Contact us first

For estate collections, we recommend a short call or email before posting. We can advise on transport, insurance and the simplest way to proceed.

02

Send or arrange collection

For smaller collections, use our free pack with a prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery label, insured up to £2,500 from the Post Office counter until it reaches us. For larger holdings, contact us first so we can agree the best way to send them.

03

Accept or decline

You receive a full itemised valuation within 24 hours of receiving the coins. Accept before 3pm and we pay by bank transfer the same day, or decline and we return everything at no cost.

Common questions

Can you handle a large estate coin collection?

Yes. We handle small and large collections with the same care and transparency. For substantial holdings, we can arrange secure collection and provide an itemised purchase record for the estate's accounts.

Do you provide valuations for probate purposes?

We don't provide probate valuations. We provide an itemised purchase record setting out the collection's contents and the price we paid, which executors can use for the estate's accounts.

What if the collection contains non-gold coins mixed in?

We assess every coin individually. Non-gold coins are identified and set aside, and you receive an offer only on coins with genuine gold content.

Is the process confidential?

Yes, completely. We deal with estates regularly and handle every transaction with full discretion. No details are shared with third parties.
