I was skeptical at first whether I should even try to use this company… and I’m so happy I did. I love your policy of selling only a limited supply. Great experience!

This company understands service!
This company I did business with for the first time , whereas I purchased two gold coins , showed me something that was, service in the sale of their products, from the time I purchased the items, and still display that level of service after I received my purchase , by following up to assure client satisfaction . Being in the service industry myself , I recognize excellent service as quick as the lack of service to customers .
" Huttons of London", is in my opinion , a 5+ star service provider.
Quality sale items, good competitive pricing, quick shipping, safely packaged, and excellent follow-up to assure satisfaction and will do what is needed to obtain customer satisfaction, who h is great service .

William, that is lovely! Thank you so much for your feedback. We are over the moon to hear that you are pleased with your order, and hope to do business with you in the future. When the agreed limitation is set we are unable to produce anymore, therefore, the mintage cannot increase.

I was a little leery ordering gold coins from outside the US but the transaction was as smooth as could be. Beautiful 1/4 sovereigns were delivered. My only concern was delivery was direct to my mailbox rather than carrier to recipient and signature confirmed.

John, that is lovely to hear. Thank you very much for your review. The delivery service we use would be based on the product itself, therefore, this particular order did not require a signature. However it is great to get your feedback, and I will certainly pass your comments on.
