Sell Gold in Marlborough

Marlborough and coins: a long history

Few Wiltshire towns are as tied to coins as Marlborough. After the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror set up a royal mint here, striking silver pennies stamped with the town's own name. Centuries earlier, the Romans left their mark too. One of Britain's largest hoards of Roman coins, tens of thousands of them, was unearthed just east of the town at Mildenhall.

So it feels fitting that we still buy coins from Marlborough today, from a single gold sovereign to a whole inherited collection. Whether your coins are gold or silver, modern or old, you can bring them in or send a photo, and we'll tell you exactly what they're worth. Read more about the gold coins and older silver coins we buy.

Bullion value or collector value?

Not every coin is worth only its metal. Most gold coins, like sovereigns, Krugerrands and Britannias, are bought and sold for their gold content, and that's what our live prices reflect. But some coins are worth more than their weight in gold to a collector, because of their date, their condition, or how few were made.

We look at both. If a coin is worth more for its gold, we'll pay you our full bullion rate on the spot. If it's likely to fetch more from a collector, we'll say so, and our sister auction house, RWB Auctions, can help you reach that market. Either way you get the honest answer, not just the quickest sale.

Getting to us from Marlborough

Our branch is about a twenty minute drive from Marlborough, a straight run north-west across the downs to Royal Wootton Bassett, where you'll find us at 29 High Street. There's parking close by and you don't need an appointment. We'll test, weigh and value everything while you wait, and pay you the same day if you're happy with our offer.

Prefer not to travel? Plenty of customers sell to us by post. Fill in our online claim form for an upfront valuation, then pack and post your gold to us. We record every package on CCTV as it arrives and weigh it on camera, and we pay you within 24 hours of receipt. If you change your mind, we'll return your items free of charge.

Always know your price per gram

Before you sell to anyone, in Marlborough or beyond, the single most useful thing you can do is find out the price per gram you're being paid. A fair buyer will show you the weight, the purity and the sums behind your offer. If someone won't, that's your sign to pause.
