How to Sell Your Coins and Bars

Step 1: Find your items

Start by visiting our ‘Sell to Us’ page, and search for the coins or bars you would like to sell.

The prices displayed are the current prices we are paying for those items – no commissions or fees are added. We buy a wide range of precious metals, including:

• Gold and silver bullion coins
• Gold and silver bars
• Gold and silver proof coins
• Gold and silver jewellery
• Scrap gold and silver

If you previously bought your items from us, you can sell your items straight from your portfolio page. Find out how to do this here.

Step 2: Complete your online sale

Add the items you want to sell to your basket, and complete our online checkout.

Once you’ve confirmed your sale, we’ll lock in your quoted price for 2 business days*. This ensures you have time to package your items and send them to us without worrying about short-term price movements.

If you are selling jewellery, scrap gold, or other custom items, we will provide you with a final price once we have received and assessed your items, based on the live metal spot price on the day they arrive with us.

Step 3: Package your items

After completing your sale, simply print your pre-filled packaging slip and include it inside your parcel.

We recommend packaging your coins and bars securely to help protect them during transit. We advise using Royal Mail Special Delivery to post your items to us, as they provide insurance for up to £2,500 per parcel.

If your sale is worth more than £2,500, we recommend splitting your items across multiple parcels so that each remains within the insured value.

Selling a larger collection? We can arrange secure courier transport for high-value collections.

If you’d prefer not to send your items by post, you can book an appointment to drop them off at our Sutton Coldfield facility or at our partner locations with Brink’s in Hatton Garden or Heathrow Radius Park in London.

Step 4: Get paid

You will receive a notification when your parcel arrives with us. We will then inspect and verify your items before confirming your final quote (where applicable).

You can choose whether you wish to be paid by bank transfer or cheque, and payment is normally made within three working days of accepting your quote.
