Maybe you've got a gold sovereign that's been kept safely away for a rainy day.

It may have been passed down, put aside for the future, or bought as an investment.

You may have no idea whether it's an ordinary sovereign or something rather more interesting.

You may simply be wondering what it's worth today.

At The Hamilton Gold Company, we specialise in valuing and buying gold sovereigns.

In Surrey, you can sit down with Jordan, or visit Scott in Wiltshire. They'll take the time to go through your sovereigns with you, explain what they've found and let you know what they're worth.

If you'd like to sell, we can pay you the same day.

If you've got some old sovereigns tucked away, we'd be happy to take a look.

Prefer to Stay at Home?

If you'd rather stay at home, you can send your sovereigns to us through our Gold-by-Post service.

We'll send you a free, prepaid Royal Mail Special Delivery pack so you can send your gold sovereigns to us securely from home.

Once we receive it, we'll assess your sovereigns and provide a valuation. If you decide not to sell, we'll return your items free of charge.
