We pay some of the best rates in London when buying precious metal coins and bars from private sellers. For commonly traded bullion items such as sovereigns and Britannias and well known cast and stamped bars, we can pay on the spot. For less common items we may need to test and this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, depending on the item. We need sight of items before fixing a purchase price for you. Transfer to your bank account takes place immediately on conclusion of our transaction. We buy at the prices shown below, subject to telephone confirmation, for the products of Good Delivery refiners.
