Why Buy From Us?
Based in the heart of London’s precious metals district of Hatton Garden, Physical Gold is the UK’s preferred choice of dealer for gold & silver investments. Established in 2008, our focus is on delivering the lowest metals prices combined with unrivalled customer service.
We are the UK’s preferred choice
01.
Great value and low premiums
Rather than stock tens of thousands of items to appeal to every type of buyer, we choose to focus only on coins and bars which are best suited to customers maximising profits. That means we supply more of the bars and coins that matter, so our purchasing power with the world’s mints enables us to secure lower premiums for our customers. We pro-actively check our competitors’ rates twice a week to ensure we always remain amongst the cheapest prices available.

Flexible and personal approach to each customer’s needs
We understand that everyone is individual. Some of our customers want to do all their own research, teaching themselves about each type of coin and how to remain tax efficient.
Others are overwhelmed by the vast choice of coins and bars available and are keen to receive advice from our expert team.
That’s why we offer everyone as much or as little guidance as they need. Some customers are happy using our portfolio creator to choose their investment, while others appreciate running through questions with us on the phone to ensure they make the most informed choices.
All our customer service team are trained to suggest solutions based on each customer’s priorities rather than generic blanket guidance. Afterall, we know that if our customers surpass their investment objectives, we’ll get more repeat business and recommendations.
Range of investment solutions
We’re constantly thinking of ways to help our customers achieve better investment results. That may be assisting you to choose gold & silver coins which are free from Capital Gains Tax, or creating innovative solutions.

Lump sum purchase
A lump-sum purchase of gold or silver, can be suitable for those wanting to add to their portfolio immediately. Take advantage of volume discounts by either selecting your own portfolio or using our Director’s Pick service to use our team’s expertise.
02.
Monthly Saver
Just like saving into a cash account, such as an ISA, it’s possible to gradually build your holding over time, through regularly scheduled gold or silver coin investing with our Monthly Saver. This makes an investment affordable for all, providing greater flexibility when it comes to growing your holding.
03.
Pension Gold
Like other forms of investment, such as shares, it’s also possible to hold gold as part of your Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). This purchases investment gold bars as part of your pension funds, locking away the value until you need it for your retirement years.
Accreditations
Gold or silver purchased from the public is tested and verified by our numismatic team and rejected if it doesn’t meet our strict standards. Regular stolen and fake goods alerts are circulated within the BNTA, so we ensure no sub-standard or counterfeit metals can enter our system.
