Totally legit, been going for quite a few years now and are pretty good to deal with.

Bought several coins from them. Never had a problem.

Seconded

[MancunianStacker]

Bought from them and sold back to them. No issues! 👍🏻 

[Maxford]

Thanks all.

[JasonDavies]

I've bought loads from them; never a problem.

 

[Goldfinga]

Bought many times from them, one of the best in the country IMO

[UncommonSeal]

Top outfit 👍 

[Fishface220]

Yep, all good for me. 

[Jimmy2trees]

I've bought from them many times and echo what other posters have said.

Totally legit and excellent service

I had a pretty awful experience with them, but I accept this is not indicative of things generally. I am just a 'let me down and never see me again' type of person. Plenty of other dealers that I can access in London anyway and where I have to get stuff delivered, I would always go to Chards first. Just my view and I accept it goes against the flow.

I had a long wait on a particular item which said was in stock when I purchased but took 2 months to deliver. They kept sending me emails apologising for the delays. Blamed royal mint and covid.

Good company that I've used plenty of times. Every company has occasional problems, Atkinsons being a good company have always sorted any problems hastle free!

They are great to deal with , always good quality bullion coins without problems , well packaged . Also very easy to contact and always reply quickly.

They post items out with the Royal Mail , so no messing about with DHL 👍

Have used them many times and always got good customer service from them. If your in London you can pick up in store to save postage too.

I rate Atkinson's for bullion, sometimes slow on the dispatch but good company from experience, had them take a few days before firing out coins they had in stock last week. Used many times over the years. I chop and change between them, chards, Baird's and hgm - keep them guessing

Atkinsons are based in Birmingham buddy.

Are you buying from the Pew-Owned department? The last three preowned gold proofs I bought from them I had to send to ncs for conservation.

Dealers buy preowned proofs at below spot price the same price that they buy bullion coins at , they just go by weight. Handling marks on preowned proofs are common . Best to only buy proofs if you can inspect them , they probably accept returns on there preowned proofs.

[louisfinlay]

Handled proof coins bought at below spot price by a dealer should be sold at spot plus 2 or 3% not full premium price.  Having studied the returns policy I opted for conservation as it was less of a hassle. 

[Clens92]

Mixed reviews.  As another poster above has said, they have no issue selling handled and scratched proof coins for the full premium and saying nothing about it.

They also once sold me a very nice Carson City Double Eagle at a substantial premium... only to then send me a non Carson City coin.  They tried to claim the difference was of no importance and couldn't be returned until I threatened Small Claims Court.

Personally never had a problem with them.

Best
