Sharps Pixley

@ZRPMs if you have a VPN enabled try disabling it temporarily. I’ve noticed that some websites sometimes do not like VPNs.

Similarly if you don’t have a VPN enabled and a website is blocking you, try enabling one. 

Hope that helps

Thanks @ChrisSilver I have had a look. To be honest I think your right. The other half enabled a pile of security items with Norton. It's probably there. I just tried a funny. Didn't mean with any seriousness that Sharps Pixley don't like the welsh. I'm sure there are many others that this error comes up for. When I google the error code they seem to link it to cookies.

@ChrisSilver Just turned off the VPN. On there now. Some nice coins. See @James32 It's not because I'm welsh.

Never used these people but they say they have in stock a coin I quite fancy. Anybody have dealings with them?

Yeh I've bought bars and Sovs from them. Reputable, quick delivery.

Steer clear. If it’s a sovereign OF @SheepStackerthen I suspect it’s a fake 😜

Not a regular visitor to London nowadays but doesnt anyone get a little nervous leaving the store with ( hopefully) nice stack of coins in your pockets? Reading about the types of criminals that hang around looking for rich pickings in the capital nowadays doesn't fill me with confidence.  

I guess a few of their customers buy from them and put them in the safety deposit boxes on site in the shop so they can walk out empty handed. 

I've been there a handful of times and they've been pleasant to deal with. If buying sovereigns you can ask them to look for a particular date that you want, as long as they have it in stock.

Over to you @LawrenceChard 😎

They are not the same Sharps Pixley as back in th emists of time.

There recent reincarnation was down to Ross Normam , a PMs veteran. They are owned, I believe, by Degussa, but I have not checked this.

Much sounder than a pound

I have never noticed a Blackpool accent!

I've been there a number of times. A big plus is they take cash, a bigger plus is if there could be a bit of a wait, you get a cup of tea!

Yes I've been given the posh tea treatment, I feel like Lord BlueMoon being waited on whilst I engage in regal transactions.

And the cash thing is very important, they have a counting machine like this, which I'm reminded of whenever those card only businesses whinge about cash being too much hard work to count up at the end of each day.

 

[Bogart]

My wife does not trust those machines. Lets the teller run them through the machine then asks for them to be counted by hand.

[Tn21]

That machine is quite sophisticated, great features

[Bogart]

Many thanks to everyone who voiced their opinions on Sharps Pixley. Not having used them before was glad of the positive feedback. I duly ordered the Iberian Lynx

coin from them.  Has just arrived now and must say am impressed on all counts. Coin to my mind is a stunner packaged in a good capsule with the protection ring,

Their communication is first class also.

It sounds like you are talking about Blackpool!

Bet you it is not Yorkshire tea.

But is there a reasonable pub just round the corner?

Define "reasonable".

Yes, a few, and the prices willl be far more reasonable than in London.

Also an award winning fish and chip shop right across the road.

The chance of finding a good fish and chip shop in London used to be about 1%, unless you counted Wheelers at twice the price.

[Bogart]

Gordon Ramsey has one in London and is actually a cracker and by his price quite reasonable.

Their website detected that you weren't posh enough obviously !  😎 

The Sharps Pixley store is located in the posh part of London, a short walking distance from Green Park station or Piccadilly Circus station.

They have been around for years. Having said that, I have only used them once. Their prices weren't as good as other dealers at the time.

"They have been around for years. "

But possibly not as many as you think.

"Sharps Pixley was a British bullion house. It was formed in 1957 when two private bullion partnerships merged: Sharps Wilkins, founded in 1740, and Pixley & Abell, founded in 1852"

Sharps Pixley was bought by Kleinwort Benson in 1966 (Wikipedia). 

There is more, but I would need more time to check it out.

The current Sharps Pixley Limited was only registered in 2008!
