Pre-owned gold coins

Available in several sizes and carats, these are the main types of second-hand gold coins you'll find for sale at H&T: 

Britannia gold coins

First circulated by the Royal Mint in 1987, Britannia gold coins are a popular choice among collectors. They're recognised and trusted worldwide and are some of the highest-denomination gold coins of the realm. Pre-owned pieces typically sell for £100 to £800 and above.

Gold sovereign coins

The Royal Mint introduced gold sovereign coins in 1817, and they have since become one of the most recognisable gold coins in the world. A sovereign will be a valued addition to any coin collection, and they are significantly cheaper than other recognised gold coins. Smaller and lighter than modern coins, sovereigns are available in quarter, half and full weights.

Krugerrand gold coins

The Krugerrand gold coin was introduced in 1967 as the world's first gold bullion coin. It is produced by the South African Mint in several weights, including 1oz, ½oz and ¼oz. Krugerrand gold coins are made using a gold-copper alloy, unlike most other gold coins.

Second-hand silver and platinum coins

In addition to our vast choice of gold coins, we also have dozens of second-hand silver and platinum coins available to buy. Commemorating monarchs and some of the most significant moments in recent history, including WWI and the flight of the Concorde, these are coins a collector will cherish.

Pre-owned coin jewellery

Are you shopping for a special gift rather than adding to an established numismatics collection? Consider coin jewellery instead of a standalone coin. Available in 9ct gold, these pre-owned pieces showcase coins as pendants or set into earrings and signet rings.
