Frequently Asked Questions
All of our gold bullion bars are 24 carat and therefore 99.99% pure gold. They all have 999.9 stamped on them to show the purity of gold.
All our larger gold bars (250g , 500g and 1 kilo) have a unique serial number and are accompanied by a matching certificate. All our bars come with a certificate from the refiner, it will always be shown in the image and stated in the description. Unlike some of our competitors, all our bars are brand new direct from the manufacturer. All of the brands we stock are approved manufacturers of "good delivery bars" by the London Bullion Market Association and therefore have to meet very stringent quality control standards.
You will find Umicore, Metalor, Heraeus, PAMP, the Perth Mint, Scottsdale Silver, and the Royal Mint listed on the LBMA's website.
We are happy to re-purchase any bars or coins that we have supplied at the very best rates. To sell, just phone us to lock-in a price and then send the items to us by insured delivery. As soon as we receive and check the bullion we will pay you by bank transfer within 1-3 days.
We also buy gold and silver scrap such as jewellery and non LBMA bars. We do not buy filings, grain, dust or dental gold.
Following the recent separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union, there are new regulations and customs requirements for shipment from the UK.
This is not prohibiting us from shipping internationally from England but it is slowing down the delivery process, which is why we now have a European distribution centre in Paris to supply both EU and non-EU countries without any customs delays.
