Atkinsons Stock

[Minted]

Hi,

I haven't bought from Atkinsons before but seen them mentioned regularly on here.

Saw a gold coin I'm after £10 cheaper than Bleyer or BBP, but waited too long to order and now showing as out of stock. 🙄

Just wondered if Atkinson's generally restock regularly or if it's more likely that I've missed out on this deal and should just pay the extra elsewhere now?

Thanks
Minted

It likely depends on what coin it was.

Could always try a ‘wanted’ post on the forum with the price you’re looking for to see if someone has a deal for you. Also worth setting up an alert with Atkinsons so when it comes back in stock you get an alert

I buy from Atkinsons and haven’t seen them sold out on the cheap sovereigns in a long time, the halves are nice! Just keep checking and as mentioned already, look on here!

Fair point.  Though I don't want to risk others jumping on it before I get the chance if it does get restocked.  It's a current year bullion coin but fairly low mintage.

I am also interested more generally for any future purchases.   I find Bleyer don't tend to restock sold-out items very often for example.

I have set up the alert.  But I'm concerned that it may never be restocked.  I've had alerts on a few Royal Mint coins that have never been restocked.  Don't really want to be a nuisance and ask the retailer directly every time...though I realise I'm being a nuisance by asking here instead today lol.

I did search TSF hoping for a better price but saw that another member posted a wanted thread for one a few months back and didn't get any interest.

Scouts honour I won't buy it if you want to DM me for a more informed answer

Thanks.  I'm a bit too fussy for the 'best value' Sov's though! 😅  Only buy specific years and designs as more of a collection than a stack at the moment.

Their stock is constantly moving.  

I saw and missed a 1986 Nugget sell last week.  I think mintage of about 3k….  How did I miss it!

They do have a decent selection of proof and occasionally carded/ boxed sovereigns. Not bad prices

I've used Atkinsons since 2008 never had an order be out of stock or not received it within a day or two.

Same with Hatton garden before they killed their pricing model.

Will always be my go to dealer because of this. Atkinsons

Other Dealers who support items as 'orderable' selling not in stock items, I've no interest in dealing with

Once ordered a 2014 Gold Britannia set from them, payment went through, but was contacted later to say the set had sold to someone else, was pissed about that.

Also their pre owned stock has become expensive.

I've used Atkinsons a bit now without fault. I even managed to fulfil a bucket list purchase with them when everyone else had no sovereigns in stock last December. Always very helpful. I would advise phoning them and speaking to them rather than just internet sales. They have a high through put of stock and you may get first call on something that's not online yet. As I mentioned sovereigns were nowhere. I gave them a call and they found me 100. Got them bought before anyone knew they had them. At a good price also.

Sorry to hear you missed that.

I’m sure there are much rarer ‘surviving’ mintages of sovereigns yet to be discovered.

Something will always come up.
