No seems to have these in stock and I'm not paying Royal Mint prices. Anyone got a spare at a reasonable price?

Cheers at @James32

Are they Trustworthy - not used them before and worth a double check as they're asking for ID, bank statements etc

[SiCole]

Many members have used them before. A note that some people mentioned when they shipped multiple coins they were in the same bag for packing and could in theory have rubbed together. 

Mine were all fine though and 1 Oz coins all came capsuled

They're an old-school Hatton Garden outfit that's been around since the late Jurassic.  You're not going to get ripped off.

They asked me for ID as well - I think they do that with everybody.  To be fair, Bairds and one or two other companies have done that as well, and they're required to do so if you buy more than £10,000 worth of merchandise in a given year.

Not a terrible price by dealer standards, either.  Not a great price, but not terrible.

Bought dozens of coins off them, no issues whatsoever, they do ask for I.D verification though, no biggy, they aint the only one who does verification

Perfect - cheers all. Thats £30 saved in a matter of minutes - amazing forum!

Use a credit card to bypass the checks then pay of instantly. 

Good company, if ordering more than one.. put in notes that they wrap separately. ( they have a habit putting bigger orders in the same bag loose)

bit nosey aren,t they .  tavex are also becoming a pain in the ( / ) as they want to do video calls and ask to see photo id

i told them i run a commadore 64 and my phone is a nokia 3210

[Orpster]

Lots of the old school dealers do ID checks up front, its because their systems do not provide alerts when a customer gets to the £10k limit (was a guy from Gerrards who told me that)

the only way I'd do a video call with them is if they pay me £11.50 per minute and dont ask me to do anything wierd with a cucumber.... 

[gji25]

think they might be rebranding to tavsex 😮

I actually assumed it was pronounced kex for obvious reasons. 

Nope... sex it is.

Their adverts piss me off, the only place you'll hear it pronounced "sex" You can tell the person is some massive nerd who thinks it's funny to say the word. 

C-E-X, also heard it pronounced Kecks, but i am not calling their shop sex.

I take you picked one up then ? 

[harrygill111]

I can't log in 😐

I've sent support an SoS 

[Zeuk]

I picked one up from Gerrards a couple of weeks back and it was fine, didn’t get asked for ID and was fairly drunk at the time so they don’t always do it.  The coin is on the “today I got delivered thread”, perfectly fine for bullion imho 

[harrygill111]

Ordered.... finally. Cheers all

Gerrards accept credit card payments?? I did not pay attention to this. Do they add a % charge on top?

No just normal. 

I only used a credit card the first time as they wanted half my life story and I was in the mood to buy "now" not in a few hours 😆 So I don't think I've ever had to produce ID after plenty of orders ( probably because the credit card proves and matches my address)

[Dazlenk]

I have to add to this if it's helpful to other members. I tried to buy this coin from Gerrards a couple of weeks ago as not many dealers seemed to be selling and they were the cheapest of the 3 that I could find. I registered as that seemed to be the way, but because I used my MRS credit card they weren't happy that the name on the website registration didn't match the credit card name. I responded to their email querying this with an explanation but didn't hear anything back. I ended up calling them and cancelling the order.
