Sell Your Gold Coins

Gold has long been regarded as one of the safest and most enduring investments, and its value continues to appreciate. If you have gold coins you are thinking of selling, now is the ideal time to explore what they could be worth. At Burlingtons Ltd., we specialise in helping clients uncover the true value of their coins through our discreet, personalised service, providing free, clear valuations and immediate payment.

If you are unsure whether your coin is genuine or pure gold, there are a few simple checks you can make before seeking a professional valuation:

  • Weight and Size: Authentic gold coins are minted to precise standards. If your coin feels unusually light or the dimensions are slightly off, it may not be pure.
  • Hallmarks and Mint Marks: Most gold coins feature markings that indicate their origin, purity, or issuing authority. These can help confirm authenticity.
  • Magnet Test: Gold is not magnetic, so if your coin is drawn to a magnet, it is unlikely to be genuine.
  • Visual Appearance: Real gold has a distinctive shine and does not tarnish. Coins that show signs of discolouration or wear may be gold-plated rather than solid.

Of course, nothing replaces an expert assessment. We have the expertise to quickly and accurately determine the authenticity and value of your coins, giving you peace of mind. We also know that parting with valuable items can feel daunting, so our goal is to make the process straightforward, transparent, and reassuring from start to finish.

    I recently sold three diamond rings to Craig at Burlingtons Jeweller, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Initially, I was quite apprehensive about sending valuable items through the post, but Craig quickly put my mind at ease.

    Throughout the entire process, he stayed in touch every step of the way via WhatsApp, providing clear updates and reassurance. True to his word, he processed the payment **the very next day**,His efficiency and professionalism made the transaction smooth and stress-free.

    Craig delivered exactly what we agreed upon, with no hassle or unexpected changesβ€”just **excellent service from start to finish**. I will definitely be returning with more items in the coming weeks!

    How Much Will I Get for My Gold Coins?

    We cannot give an exact number until we have seen your coins, but the value is normally influenced by a number of factors, including:

    • Amount: This is the weight of gold contained within your coin or collection.
    • Fineness: This is the purity of the gold, usually expressed as carat or percentage.
    • Age: Older coins may carry higher values due to rarity or historic significance.
    • Condition: Well-preserved coins often achieve better prices than those that are heavily worn.
    • Collectability: Some coins are desirable not only for their gold content but also for their design, rarity, or place in history.

    When you choose to sell through us, we make sure you understand exactly how each of these factors affects your valuation. Whether your coin’s worth is purely bullion-based or enhanced by collectability, we explain everything clearly, so you feel confident in your decision.

    Our Gold Market Insights

    The price of gold is influenced by many factors, from global economic trends to currency movements and investor demand. We closely track live gold prices and wider market conditions to ensure that every valuation reflects the most up-to-date figures.

    This means that when you sell your gold coins to us, you can be confident that you are receiving a fair and accurate offer, not one based on outdated rates or estimates. Our expertise allows us to distinguish between the pure bullion value of your coins and any additional premium attached to their rarity or collectability.

    If you are considering selling your gold coins, our specialists offer the clarity and expertise you need, and the immediate payment you deserve. Whether you are selling an individual coin or an entire collection, we provide a discreet, professional service that ensures you achieve the best possible outcome.

    FAQs and Useful Information

    Do you buy coins that are damaged or scratched?

    Yes. Even if your coins are worn, scratched, or not in perfect condition, they still carry value based on their gold content. In some cases, rarity or collectability can outweigh surface condition, so it is always worth having them assessed.

    Do I need to clean my coins before valuation?

    No. In fact, we recommend that you do not attempt to clean your coins, as this can sometimes reduce their value. Our specialist is experienced in assessing coins as they are, and we will provide a clear valuation without the need for any preparation on your part.

    How do I know if my coin is bullion or collectable?

    Bullion coins are primarily valued for their gold weight and purity, while collectable coins may have additional worth due to rarity, design, or historic interest. If you are unsure, we will explain this distinction during your valuation and let you know whether your coin carries a premium above its bullion value.

    Can I sell coins that are not in their original packaging?

    Yes. While coins in original presentation boxes or packaging may attract added value and interest from collectors, we are happy to buy coins without their cases.
