FAQs

How do I sell my gold or silver to Sovara Coins?

You can easily sell your gold or silver by contacting us for a price quote. Once you accept the offer, we'll provide instructions on securely shipping your items to us. Upon receipt and verification of the metal, we will process your payment.

Is it safe to send my gold and silver through the post?

Yes, sending your gold and silver through the post is safe when done correctly. We recommend securely packaging your items and using Royal Mail’s Special Delivery service, which insures your parcel for up to £2,500.

If the total value of your items exceeds £2,500, it’s best to split them into separate parcels, ensuring each parcel contains less than £2,500 worth of goods for full coverage.

This helps protect your items in transit and ensures a smooth, secure delivery process.

How quickly will I receive payment after selling my items?

Once we receive and verify your gold or silver, we aim to process payments within 24 hours via bank transfer.

The speed may depend on the time it takes to verify the items, but we always strive for quick turnaround times.

Is identification required to sell my gold or silver?

Yes, depending on the value of your transaction, we may require ID verification to comply with legal requirements. We will inform you of any necessary documentation during the selling process to ensure a smooth transaction.
