Thoughts please
I hope to buy my first ever gold coin this afternoon. I have narrowed my search down to three dealers - Gerrards, Hatton Garden Metals, and Atkinsons. Their prices are similar for the item I'm looking at.
I have researched them all on Trustpilot, and they have very similar ratings:
Gerrards: 4.9 stars overall (5 star - 92%, 1 star <1%)
HGM: 4.9 stars overall (5 star - 96%, 1 star <1%)
Atkinsons: 4.9 stars overall (5 star - 93%, 1 star <1%)
I'm struggling to decide which dealer to buy from, and I wondered if anyone has any helpful thoughts on these three companies?
Thank you, team.
Hazel

Re: Thoughts please

I went with Atkinsons as they seemed to be most popular. It was quite exhilarating, because as I was entering my details, I was also keeping an eye on spot which was going up and down like a yoyo! I feel I picked the right moment, however, when spot was £1,575.37. The coin cost £404.28 (a few £s less than Wednesday when I started looking), and you may find this hard to believe after what I said about preferring QEII to KCIII, and wanting purity, but I chose a KCIII 2022 Memorial Sov in the end. I want to do the Marmite test on this, so I'll know the way forward from here. Also, I really like the pretty design on the reverse!
Thank you again team

They don’t have a big selection but stock the current bullion coins. Very competitive. I researched them a lot before buying. Scandinavian bullion dealer with an office in London. Fast delivery and they give you a courtesy call to let you know they have posted it. Another trusted company is the Britannia Coin Company. I have bought loads from them.

Re: Thoughts please

Thanks @tray , that’s actually the next one on my list! It seems quite scarce at the moment though and I’m concerned it’ll be even harder to find when I’ve saved up again…

I do collect the jubilee years of sovereigns, anything that's different to the normal George and DragonBondie wrote:Just saw your pics @tray Those are quite nice!
