Thank You: for being a part of my lifetime of experience as a coin dealer and hard-asset financial consultant. Countless such transactions have informed my research as author of the comprehensive best-seller: “Fiat Paper Money the History and Evolution of Our Currency©”. You have taken the first step toward understanding your money..
Prepare Now: The value of our fiat money is changing fast. It buys less than ever before, and soon the basic unit—our dollar—will buy close to nothing. Only a few people voice concern. Now I don’t claim to be an expert or a prophet. All I offer are some humble observations on the evolution of our fiat money. In my business, as I’ve bought and sold millions of silver and gold coins, I have become a student of the transaction. Thousands of old invoices with figures and signatures dating back to the 1950s clearly show how prices for those very coins have increased well over fifty-five fold. It has inspired my research into the hundreds of currency collapses and hyperinflations of previous fiat monetary systems. I’ve discovered how experts always convincingly assure the people, “it can’t happen here,” just before the financial ruin strikes. The same expert opinions are circulating widely today.
Consider that in just the last 60 years, our culture has been conditioned to accept our fiat monetary system without question. Experts proclaim that economic health and growth require our money to lose value over time. We are awash in analysis that is not grounded in reality, but in distractions and number games. Historical fact is dismissed as the distant and outdated struggles of generations gone by. We no longer demand accountability for the loss of value we experience daily. Most alarming is that there is no stop-gap for a sudden and total collapse of purchasing power. To ignore the incontrovertible facts seems to me to be foolhardy. Dire consequences await the unprepared. ©

Most orders are sent with Royal Mail and for orders under £250 these will be sent using the Royal Mail Signed For 1st Class delivery service which is Insured by us and should arrive within 1-5 days from the day of dispatch.

Large silver orders will be delivered by UPS and will arrive 1-2 days after the day of dispatch. For most orders within the UK the UPS service is next day except to outlying areas of the UK.
Our packaging is discreet and we do everything to minimise the chance of anyone guessing the contents of the parcel. No reference to bullion or coins will be on the packaging. We fully understand the need for discretion and security.
We ask that you assist us in getting the order to you safely by making sure that the addresses you register are correct and that any card payments are made from a card registered in both your name and also to your address.
ALL parcels of any value are fully insured by us until signed for by someone at your address.
Ownership of goods passes to the customer once full payment is received and a signature has been accepted at the address provided by the client at the time of order.
Any failure to deliver an order on our part will result in a full refund of the original amount paid or goods as a replacement. No liability will be accepted by us for any price fluctuation in those circumstances. We cannot be held responsible for delays to the postal system which may affect delivery of your goods, which are beyond our control.
Orders that have been fully paid in advance can be collected from our store after we have contacted you to inform you that your package is ready to collect.
When you come to collect you must produce identification and a copy of the invoice for the goods you are collecting. We cannot release the goods to 3rd parties.
We do NOT keep any goods on site and therefore it is not possible to collect any goods other than those ordered and packaged ready for collection. See our FAQ for more details on our collection service.
The right to cancel under Regulation 13 of the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 does not apply because the price of all goods that we sell is dependent upon fluctuations in the financial markets that are beyond our control.

This cancellation policy is applicable for in stock, pre-ordered and special order items. Should you not be able to supply documents required to complete our compliance requirements which results in a cancellation of your order, the cancellation charges will apply.
You are entitled to return any product that you are dissatisfied with to us, however we will not be responsible for any postal charges. If we find that the goods you have returned are of satisfactory quality the return of the goods to yourself will be subject to a return postal charge.
