The whole transaction of selling some gold coins went very smoothly and easily. The funds arrived in my account the following day so will use the company again. The staff member who helped me was very friendly and efficient.

Professional service

I’ve purchased from British Bullion on several occasions, including recently buying two beautiful coins, and I’ve always been impressed. The service is efficient and the staff are always professional and friendly. I always feel secure and safe visiting their office. I would highly recommend British Bullion to anyone wishing to buy or sell gold coins.

Overpriced and hard to find

Overpriced and hard to find. Was given two completely separate billions on the same transaction because they didn't have any in stock. One pressed, one poured. Just awful
