professional numismatists (coin dealers) London specialising in old and valuable collectible coins
Our London based coin dealers are professional numismatists who are specialists in examining old coins to determine their value. Not all old coins will be valuable, as it will depend on whether they are also collectible.
As coin dealers in London we specialise in the buying and selling of UK silver coins and gold British coins, including gold sovereigns and half sovereigns. These valuable coins are highly sought after as both investment pieces and collectible coins for private individuals. Gold coins for sale are attractive to investors as they hold their value very well. As gold coins have an intrinsic value due to the material, they don't really depreciate in the same way as many other assets. As coin dealers we have seen the popularity of these valuable coins rise due to the global recession. During more difficult economic times, many non numismatists begin to think about whether those old coins they have may be worth anything; are they collectible coins? are they valuable coins?
One sign that our coin dealers in London will look out for when working out the value of collectible coins is how much wear and tear can be seen on them. There is a difference in the value of old coins that have been in circulation or are in perfect condition; this is particularly the case with gold half sovereigns and full sovereign coins and is known by numismatists as whether the coin is proof or not.
If your old coins are proof then they will be much more valuable. Proof coins are ones struck with greater pressure than the usual circulation issues, using specially polished dies and carefully prepared blanks. In some cases more than one strike is made to ensure that the metal flows fully into the design. As a result such coins are usually very clear, with sharp edges resulting from the high pressures involved. You should never see proof coins in circulation, because they are made as collectibles.
