We check your items by hand when they arrive and pay you once they're confirmed.
Packing bullion safely
- Use a small, strong box or padded bag, not a thin envelope.
- Wrap each item on its own so nothing rubs or scratches.
- Keep the outside plain. Don't write "gold", "silver" or "coins" on the parcel.
- Send by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed and ask the Post Office for cover that matches the value.
- Keep your receipt and tracking number until we confirm the parcel has arrived.
What affects your offer
- Metal and weight: the main part of the value
- Brand: well-known refiners are easier to resell
- Condition: scratched or bent bars may be worth slightly less
- Packaging: sealed assay cards and capsules help
- Rarity: some coins are worth more than their metal
