BUYING IN  COINS

Not sure how you should sell your coins - check out our guide:

http://www.weightoncoin.co.uk/auction_vs_dealer.htm

We are always looking to buy in quality Modern Gold and Silver coins and sets.  Should you have anything you wish to 'move on', please give us a call as we will usually make an immediate offer.  We try to be fair, and most of our prices offered are linked to the Gold Market prices.  As our overheads are lower than the bigger bullion houses, we are likely to offer you a better price than you will get elsewhere, but don't just take our word for it - give us a call - it does not cost to talk to us (well only the phone call).

However, if calling us to discuss what you have to sell, please bear in mind the following two caveats:

WE DO NOT BUY - ANY circulated modern 50p, £1, £2 or £5 coins (not even the Kew Gardens 50p which is really the only rarish modern base metal coin along with the un-dated 20p).  A general rule of thumb for these coins is, if you found it in your change it is unlikely to be rare and to a coin dealer will have no additional value.

 PLEASE NOTE: We would also respectfully ask that you do NOT quote what coins are fetching on eBay - been there, done it, got the t-shirt, and we stopped trading there in 2008 (16 years ago) ! - WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU about our faith in eBay !

There are however, certain items we generally do not buy in (unless being sold with a large collection), purely because we  believe the price is over inflated.  Some examples of this are as follows:

 1989 UK Gold Proof 1/2 Sovereigns, Sovereigns, 3 & 4 Coin Sets - (just totally over-hyped and not rare as others would have you believe)

1999 UK Gold Proof 1/2 Sovereigns, Sovereigns, 3 & 4 Coin Sets (again just totally over-hyped and not rare as others would have you believe)

2002 Golden Jubilee 13 Coin Sets - (these are actually NOT VAT exempt due to certian coins not being on the notice 701/21a)

2003 Gold Proof PATTERN 4 x £1 Set - not proper coins and only any use as scrap gold for putting in the furnace to melt for something useful !

 There are also some items which we WILL buy in, but can tell you now that you will not get a great price on.  This is purely due to lack of interest in the market, so we can only buy in with a view to melting down.  Such items are as follows:

  Items purchased through the various private mints (Jubilee Mint, London Mint Office, Danbury Mint, The Bradford Exchange etc.} These coins are usually licensed to obscure countries such as Tristan De Cuhna - TDC, St. Helena and the likes.  These are generally sold by mail order companies at vastly inflated prices to new / novice collectors / investors, but to the dealer network are only bought for the gold content.
