Collectors Coins From The Royal Mint
The Royal Mint's history spans over a thousand years, making it one of the world's oldest continuously operating mints. As the official producer of Britain's currency, the Mint strikes all the coins in our everyday change, while also creating special commemorative pieces designed for collectors.
Many of these commemorative coins are issued in a distinctive 'proof' finish. Produced using a carefully controlled, multi-strike minting process, proof coins have an exceptionally sharp design and polished appearance. Because this process is time-consuming and costly, proof coins are only made in limited numbers, which adds to their desirability among collectors.
We buy a wide range of Royal Mint coins and sets, including:
- Gold proof coins, such as Sovereigns, Britannias and Five Pounds
- Coins from popular themed series, including The Queen's Beasts, The Great Engravers, and the Music Legends collection
- Royal Mint investment coins and bars
- Silver proof collectables, such as commemorative £2 and 50p coins
- UK annual proof sets in base metal, silver and gold finishes
- Collectors' proof sets, including Sovereign sets and Britannia sets
We rarely buy circulated currency coins found in change, as we can usually only offer face value for these unless they are among the rarest key dates and varieties.
Gold and silver proof coins from The Royal Mint are usually supplied in a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity.
What Are Royal Mint Coins Worth?
The value of Royal Mint coins varies widely. Some pieces have become especially desirable because of their limited mintages, distinctive designs, or historical significance. Sought-after examples include sets featuring the famous 2009 Kew Gardens 50p, the 1999 Princess Diana £5, and releases from the Great Engravers series, particularly the Una and the Lion range. Our expert knowledge of the current market for different Royal Mint coins allows us to accurately assess and value your collection, offering higher prices than other coin dealers.
At the very least, Royal Mint coins struck in gold or silver are worth their precious-metal content, which has risen considerably over the decades. If you bought your coins some time ago, you may be pleasantly surprised at how much they are worth today.
Coins From Other Mints: While we specialise in Royal Mint issues, we also buy collectors' coins from other major international mints such as the United States Mint and the South African Mint. We also buy commemorative pieces from private mints, including Westminster, Pobjoy and the Commonwealth Mint, although the collectors' market for these unofficial issues tends to be limited.
