Lots of bullion dealers popping up
Lots of bullion dealers popping up, tik tok, WhatsApp etc and I’ve tried a couple of small buys, I had issues with both! Damaged mint PAMP bar, privy coins supposedly with capsules delivered loose, late delivery etc.
I’ve never had a problem with Chards over multiple purchases, could you get some bits a couple of quid cheaper, probably. Would you get Chards level of service, doubtful.

A genuine, trustworthy and friendly company.
This is my first purchase of gold coins, and in general, it can be difficult to trust a website you’ve never ordered from before. That certainly isn’t the case with Chards.
Before ordering, I emailed lots of questions and received a response within a day. Leslie answered everything fully, including some follow-up questions I had. I felt at ease with Chards right from the start; they came across as a genuine, trustworthy and friendly company.
I placed an order for three sovereigns: a 1979 proof, an Edward VII and a Victoria ‘best value’ sovereign over the weekend. The coins were shipped on Monday and arrived on Tuesday morning by Royal Mail Special Delivery. The package gave no indication of what was inside, which is reassuring from a security point of view.
The coins are in fantastic condition. The proof has retained its beautiful mirror-like finish. The older sovereigns arrived in the capsules I had purchased and were carefully wrapped in bubble wrap.
I paid around £22 more for the two ‘best value’ sovereigns compared with buying new ones, which is very reasonable given that they’re great pieces of history and still contain 7.32g of fine gold each.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my first purchase from Chards and will be happily buying from them again.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, especially for your first purchase with Chards.
We’re delighted to hear that Leslie was able to answer all of your questions thoroughly and help put you at ease before placing your order. We understand that buying gold online for the first time requires a high level of trust, so it’s wonderful to know that our team made you feel confident and informed throughout the process.
It’s great to hear that your Sovereigns arrived so quickly and that the secure, discreet packaging provided additional peace of mind.
We’re also pleased that the coins met your expectations, particularly the proof Sovereign and the condition of the historic pieces.
Your comments about the value of pre-owned Sovereigns are very much appreciated. They offer a fascinating combination of historic significance and gold content, and we’re delighted that you were able to add such interesting pieces to your collection.
Thank you again for your kind words and support. We’re thrilled that your first experience with Chards was such a positive one, and we look forward to assisting you with future purchases.
Kind regards,
Chards Coin and Bullion Dealer
