Not an overly extortionate price for piece of mind. Although looking into a membership on here would have likely seen you achieving £385 a sov.

I don’t fancy trying to be fastest finger on the forum to snag a sov. I am more than happy to pay dealer prices just wish it was £100 a oz cheaper 😂 if I didn’t buy tonight I had a feeling I was going to book a last min holiday instead.

Can I ask what you paid,please?

£7849.40 for 20 sovs 

I couldn’t wait any longer just ordered a bunch of sovs from atkinsons. I bet gold drops tomorrow now 🥲

I just got in about to buy a bunch of golf and price has shot up a good bit 🥲 will wait it out till next week now. 

I was wondering about gold weights. I always thought a oz was 28 grams but in gold it’s 31G right ? Also sovs are 7.9 so basically 8 and 4 of them are considered a oz is all that correct?

looking to buy some more gold next week. Leaning towards more sovs over the 1 oz coins and was just looking up there weights.

..or just get CGT excempt coins..

I thought all sovs and brits are CGT free ?

Hi everyone. Not been on the forum in a long time, last time I was getting advice about selling my stack to free up some cash for a house move. That’s me all settled now and looking to start buying gold again. Set myself a target of 10oz by end of year and not sure if I should just stick to 1 oz coins like before or maybe grab some sovs having never owned any.

What are generally the best to buy for being closest to spot price ? And is atkinsons chards and hatton garden metals still the go to sites ?

Hello everyone, just had a family member ask me bout gold. There looking to buy a decent amount in the one go around 60k . I just wanted to ask if I phone chards atkinsons ect what sore of % above spot should I expect to pay ? 

Only two of the dealers got back to me today, I was happy with both offers might of liked a little more on the queens beasts but just happy to have a hassle free quick sale. One gave me a courier rate and just waiting on the other then I’ll decide. I don’t actually find out until tomorrow lunch about the house I’m after so if I get the house it’s all systems go and if not I’ll be keeping the gold and buying some more.

I had a pretty decent offer this morning from one of the dealers but they are paying the same price for all the coins so no extra for the queens beast or oriental borders. Waiting on the other two places getting back to me.

What postage service do people use when selling coins privately and how much would it cost to send a 1 oz gold coin insured ?

I’m interested in the lion of England the griffin of Edward and one of the Yale of Beaufort plus the cast 100g bar once you come up with a price 

I’ll wait and see what the dealers offer tomorrow and if I think there low on the queens beast I’ll maybe sell privately.

I'm going to tag in @LawrenceChard

And I'm only guessing, but considering you have queens Beasts in the bundle I'd expect £45k minimum, hopefully a dealer really wants your collection and might even go a percent above spot.

That’s good someone from chards on the forum, I’ve just emailed chards atkinsons and hatton garden metals

Dealer...31 x £1470 = £45,570

Forum 31 × £1550 average considering queen's beasts and generic bars/brits = £48,050

Only a guess and could potentially realise more on here.

I would be happy with £45k what would be a bad offer from a deader ? I didn’t know they payed spot when buying back.

Here's my opinion. 

Reach out to @BackyardBullion on here by private message. 

He will charge a fee and act as a intermediary, he will test the coins ( safely) and give buyers reassurance they are getting the geniune article. 

He will give you reassurance that you will get paid ( he won't post anything until you personally tell him that money has been received. 

You are likely ( even after deduction of his relatively small fee)you are going to end up with approx £1k upwards more money.

Can you walk away from such an amount? Or is time more important? If the latter then go dealer route, but pick the closest reputable dealer beside you,and this is a driving job ( you take everything in person) so it can be completed quickly. 

 

No I would definitely say saving £1000 is not worth the hassle just thought the queens beast would of been worth more. I can’t see the sold section what does a queens beast normally go for privately ?

This is what I have, I tried to look for others that sold but this forum has a pay wall ? 

I have slightly over 31oz could anyone make a rough guess what I would get on the forum vs a dealer ? 
 

I am basically forced to sell my gold. The plan was to buy more but I’ve decided to buy a bigger house and now need to free up funds. So have a couple of questions. Ideally don’t want to sell my gold privately just because going down the dealer route is fast and easy. I seen atkinsons basically pay £1500 for the queens beast is this quite a bad price ? I am sure they were selling for closer to £2000 a while ago. I wouldn’t mind selling the queens beast privately and just the rest to a dealer ?

Also I plan to drop atkinsons, chards and hatton garden a email for price tomorrow. Is there any other recommended dealers I should email ?

Incredible!! What's the coin on the top left please? It looks a lil bigger than the other coins

2013 Brit it’s quite a bit bigger but thinner but that’s all I know. Mines has a few red dots now, first time I’ve noticed them. Someone must know more on the forum, did they only do that version for 1 year?

Hi all new member looking for some advice. I have in the past bought some 1oz gold coins, I like the size and feel of the 1oz coins and just kind of stopped buying them after gold went over £1000 a oz. I was waiting for it to go back down and it never did.

Now I am looking to get back into gold. Looking to buy £20,000 worth and wondering what would be the best dealer to go to ? I had used atkinsons and chards before are they still my best bet ? Also should I email and ask for a better rate ? In the past I would just pick up a single coin at a time but wondering if I buy more should I look to get a better deal.
