What makes a reputable gold and silver dealer?
Choosing a bullion dealer involves more than finding the lowest advertised price. A reputable dealer should provide transparent pricing, authentic investment-grade products, reliable delivery and clear information about what happens when you eventually decide to sell.
When comparing UK gold and silver dealers, consider:
- Reputation and customer reviews. Look for independently published feedback and an established trading history.
- Premiums and total purchase costs. Compare the final amount payable, including delivery and any applicable VAT.
- Product choice. Check whether the dealer offers new and pre-owned bullion, different denominations and quantity discounts.
- Personal guidance. Consider whether you can discuss your requirements with someone knowledgeable before committing.
- Resale arrangements. Understand how buyback prices are calculated and whether the dealer will buy back your products.
At Physical Gold, we aim to make these considerations straightforward, helping customers understand both the benefits and the costs of investing in precious metals.

Expert gold and silver investment guidance
Buying precious metals is not simply a question of choosing between gold and silver. Different bullion products have different characteristics, costs and potential tax implications.
Our specialists can help you understand:
- The differences between gold Britannias, Sovereigns and investment gold bars.
- How new and pre-owned bullion premiums compare.
- Why larger purchases may qualify for quantity discounts.
- How UK Capital Gains Tax rules can affect your choice of coins and bars.
- The advantages and costs of home delivery compared with professional storage.
- What to consider when selling your investment in the future.
For example, UK legal tender gold Britannias and Sovereigns are generally exempt from Capital Gains Tax for individuals, while qualifying investment gold is VAT exempt. Silver purchased for UK delivery is generally subject to VAT, although qualifying offshore storage arrangements can offer an alternative.

Dedicated account management and personal service
One of the key differences between Physical Gold and larger bullion retailers is our emphasis on personal relationships.
Customers who require ongoing assistance or are considering substantial purchases can benefit from a dedicated point of contact.
Rather than navigating every decision independently, you can discuss products, premiums, market developments and future purchases with someone who understands your requirements.
Whether you’re making a single purchase or building a precious metals holding over time, our approach is based on providing clear information rather than simply encouraging you to buy the most expensive product.
We also recognise that many customers compare us with the Royal Mint and other established bullion suppliers. While the Royal Mint is an important source of UK bullion coins, buying through a specialist dealer such as Physical Gold can offer competitive prices, access to pre-owned bullion and more personalised guidance.
Competitive bullion prices and better-value options
The price you pay for physical gold or silver includes the underlying precious metal value and a dealer premium.
Premiums can vary considerably between products. Smaller coins and bars typically carry higher percentage premiums than larger products, while pre-owned bullion can offer savings over newly minted alternatives.
At Physical Gold, we offer different ways to seek better value, including:
- Pre-owned gold Britannias and Sovereigns.
- Best Value gold and silver product ranges.
- Quantity discounts on eligible purchases.
- Specialist guidance on comparing products with different premiums.
Our aim is to help you make an informed comparison based on total purchase cost, suitability and potential resale value.
Buy from an established UK gold and silver dealer – wherever you live
You don’t necessarily need to visit a local gold dealer to purchase physical bullion.
Physical Gold provides an online buying service for customers across the UK, combining the convenience of online ordering with the opportunity to speak to a precious metals specialist.
Our insured delivery arrangements mean customers can purchase eligible products without needing to travel to a bullion shop.
Whether you’re based in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh or elsewhere in the UK, you can explore our product range, compare prices and contact our team for assistance.
For customers who would prefer not to take delivery, we can also explain available storage options, including qualifying VAT-free offshore silver storage.
Selling your gold and silver in the future
A reputable bullion dealer should help you understand the eventual resale process as well as the initial purchase.
Physical Gold offers a buyback service for qualifying precious metals, giving customers a route to selling their holdings when their circumstances or investment objectives change.
The amount received will depend on factors including the prevailing metal price, the product and the applicable buyback rate. The original purchase premium is not necessarily recoverable.
Understanding this difference before investing is important, particularly when comparing products with different premiums.
