Here our some reasons why we think that buying Gold and/or Silver is a good idea. Remember, this is not financial advise, but instead common reasons why people buy the precious metals in the first place:

1. Gold & Silver retains their values over the long term
2. They don’t corrode or damage over time
3. They have been used since ancient times and thus are tried, tested and universally recognised.
4. As central banks “print” more and more fiat “money” (it’s actually currency and not money!) there are more dollars, pounds or euros for example chasing the same fixed supply of gold or silver. In turn, it would mean that the prices have to rise and they have proven to continue to do so over the long term.
5. It’s a great diversification tool for an investment/retirement portfolio as it’s in a category of its own right.
6. Being a physical product (as opposed to a stock) it takes longer and a bit more effort to sell, meaning that it’s also a great way of saving, since you will be less tempted and bothered to sell it to buy the next new iPhone like you would a stock.
7. It’s money outside the banking system, which is re-assuring since we have nearly all our savings in it already.
8. The world’s gold and silver supply is shrinking and getting more and more expensive to mine.
9. Uncle Scrooge will be proud of you 😀

We’ve noticed that many bullion dealers are selling out of 2020 Britannias. If you’ve had your eyes on one recently, it might be worth grabbing one whilst you still can. The 2021 Gold Britannia coins are starting to become available for pre-order.

Head on over to our Gold section and then click on the Britannia link to find the cheapest deals around. Products are in stock or available to be ordered in and in nearly all cases we link to brand new items.

Last of all, remember to consider postage charges where applicable, especially when the differences between the 1st and 2nd providers is little, as it currently is now with premiums 3.68{8f089c669607ef38536ae1a7ea47651cf627af824675a26b03d007a8b2201366} vs 3.83{8f089c669607ef38536ae1a7ea47651cf627af824675a26b03d007a8b2201366}. Once postage is added, then the second result works out cheapest.

Happy Shopping!

We are pleased to have added more shops to our site. This ensures that you are able to always get the best deals in gold and silver, coins and bars available in the UK.

After months of hard work, we are proud to go live with the site. We hope to offer you a conclusive view as to where you can find the cheapest Gold and Silver prices from the most reliable bullion stores online and in shops.

The prices are currently updated every 15 minutes and are grouped by the cheapest of product types or if you select to view all items, we order the products based on the lowest premiums first. A premium is calculated as a percentage surcharge that you are pay over the market price for gold and silver. This includes the dealer’s/shop’s profit but in addition to postage and other costs as well. You will notice that the silver premiums are much higher than gold premiums, this is because silver attracts VAT, unfortunately!

We hope you enjoy using the site and look forward to your comments and suggestions,
