Route one
Back to us
Funds usually within three to five working days
We buy back at the live gold price, less a dealing spread that we quote before you agree.
Selling
Selling a cask or coins
Three routes for a cask and two for gold. We set out each one with you, quote every fee before you agree, and handle the paperwork for whichever you choose.
Selling a cask: three routes
When you decide to sell, we set out each route with you and handle the paperwork for whichever you choose. The choice is yours.
Route one
A buyback offer
Funds usually within fourteen days
An offer from us, based on the current market for casks of that distillery and age. The simplest of the three.
Route two
A private buyer or bottler
Typically four to eight weeks
An introduction to vetted buyers and independent bottlers. We agree the price with them and handle the legal paperwork.
Route three
Your own bottling
Roughly 250 to 700 bottles
An independent bottler bottles the cask at a licensed plant, under your label and at your chosen strength. Duty becomes payable at bottling.
Capital at risk. What a cask sells for depends on the market at the time. Values can fall as well as rise, and some casks take longer to sell than expected. Insurance covers fire, theft and damage, not market loss.
Selling gold: two routes
Sell a single coin or the whole holding, whenever you choose. We handle the paperwork and the delivery either way.
Route two
Through another dealer
On your instruction
Sovereigns and Britannias are widely traded by bullion dealers. We send your coins to the buyer you choose, or release them to you to sell yourself.
Capital at risk. What you receive depends on the gold price on the day you sell, which can be lower than the price you paid. Gold pays no interest or dividend. Insurance covers loss and theft, not a fall in price.
How long selling takes
Every fee is quoted in writing before you agree to a sale. What you receive depends on the market at the time.
