Does anybody know why Chards doesn't allow credit card payments?

I think the TL;DR is that it costs more and increases risk.

Do you mean they get charged more fees on a credit card transaction? It doesn't matter as I will still buy it, but I just tried with my card, and it wouldn't allow me to.

Try Tavex if no luck (depending on what you want) - they always accept credit card. 

[KRO]

Tavex,Atkinsons,Hatton accept 
 

but watch out as some cards regard it as a cash transaction 

[Chrisplym]

Can anyone remember roughly the original dealer price of the memorial bullion sovereigns when they were first issued and the lowest price?

Thank you @dvl 👍 Looks like the current offer isn’t too bad then 😊

Just a case of deciding which dealer is likely to provide the memorial bullion sovereigns in the best condition 🤷‍♂️

My order from Gerrards, must have ordered same day as @dvl  and the same order lol

My order from Chards (3rd Feb), so they did drop a bit

 

[Chrisplym]

Which of the main dealers package sovereigns separately so that they don’t rub together?

[Spyder]

I guess the spot price must have been close to what it is now, give or take £10.  Chards were selling then for £390 and now £385.  They have been sold higher, but can not find lower. 

I will only be short time before they be available cheaper on this forum.

I would have thought, they all put them in separate plastic wallets. I know Atkinsons do

All now I think, it used to be Gerrards that sent them out together but both @James32 and myself spoke to them when we got TB's with scratches on the Queens cheek and they changed to sperate packaging now, though I have not used them in a while

Yeah I always put a little note when ordering from gerrards. They will usually then send separate. 

The lowest the memorial sovereigns have been is £379 for 5 or more from chards, I put 10 into basket and the payment buffered then timed out 😔 gold rocketed £57 that day 😆 so close but no cigar.

Those sweets are worth the cost of posting alone 🤣 and the best packaging yet from a dealer.

[KRO]

next time I auction a coin on here I will include two when I have sucked them😀

When I used to do work in elderly woman property, I would always refuse any peanuts that she offered from a bowl as original they started off as chocolate covered peanuts.
