The coin serves as a lasting reminder of the excitement that surrounded the countdown to the Games and Britain’s role on the world stage.

Old fashioned service that stands in today's world. Careful consideration by Nigel of what we brought in and fair price paid. What's not to like? And no, Nigel and I are not related.

Never bought items like this before, bought a couple of gifts on-line, telephoned them and arranged collection from the store.
A real gold mine.

Excellent service from PH.
The item was sent out on the next available delivery date and received one day later. I did speak to the owner prior who was most helpful and would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

I emailed a general enquiry in the early hours of Monday morning. Following a short exchange of emails I was offered very fair prices, we agreed the sale of some of my coins to be sent by post and by Tuesday the money was in my bank account. Nigel was extremely helpful and can’t be faulted for efficiency.

Marie Milner

Nigel and the team offer very fair and competitive prices when buying gold, and their selling prices are genuinely some of the best I’ve come across. Everything is explained clearly, with no pressure and complete transparency.

What really makes the difference though is the people — they’re friendly, warm, and genuinely lovely to deal with. You don’t feel like “just another customer”; they take the time to build a proper relationship and make you feel comfortable asking questions.

It’s rare to find a business that combines excellent pricing with such personal service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell gold.

Chris Colegrove

I have just popped in to see Nigel to sell my gold and silver.

I had a warm welcome and mad to feel comfortable.
Nigel examined the pieces and quoted me a very good price.

Great deal done. Thanks again.

5 star all the way.

Visited Philatelic Heritage today, expecting to book an appointment to have coins valued. Nigel was warm and charming and was happy to see me there and then! Fair price, friendly and hassle free! Not knowing what to expect as this was definitely not something I have had experience with, him and Ruby made the transaction easy and simple!
Thanks so much guys!

Very easy to deal with. I popped into the Coin & Stamp Centre in Hungerford with a piece of jewellery and was paid a good cash price there and then.

Response from the owner

Hi SteveThank you so much for bringing in your item of jewellery - I'm delighted that we were able to do a deal and that you were happy with the price we paid you

Katie Nyunt

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Nigel and his wife on two separate visits, and I can’t speak highly enough of the service I received.
From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and refreshingly pleasant. Nigel was especially considerate in offering to first review photos of my coin collection via WhatsApp ensuring it was worth my travel which I greatly appreciated.
Both Nigel and his wife were not only welcoming and patient but also impressively knowledgeable and informative. Their expertise was evident, and they took the time to explain details clearly and honestly, which gave me full confidence in the valuation and selling process.
The entire experience was efficient, transparent, and fair. I would not hesitate to recommend Hungerford Philatelic Coins to anyone looking to buy or sell coins or related collectibles. It’s rare to come across genuine professionalism paired with a warm and courteous approach.

Thank you so much for you marvellous 5 star review which is very much appreciated by me and the team. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you and we look forward to assisting you again in the future

david dinges

We traveled from the US just to visit the shop. You could not ask for more polite, honest, and kind people to deal with, highly recommended.

Hi Dave it was an absolute pleasure welcoming you to our shop with your sister and friends our door is always open to you and many thanks for the business

Nigel Morgan

Expert advice, great customer service. Nigel is highly recommended and offers good prices.

Hi Rory thank you very much for your 5 star review much appreciated by me and the team

Brandon Hale

I had some gold Mexican 50 pesos to sell and Nigel offered me by far the best price beating all top bullion dealers in the country. I also found his service to be professional and friendly.

Morning Brandon thank you so much for your 5 star review I am delighted that we were able to exceed your expectations as we always try and pay the highest price in the country

Josh Macdonald

I bought a half crown from philatelic heritage. Very pleased with the service, coin and delivery which was next day. Will be back again, thank you.

An absolute pleasure doing business with you Josh here's looking forward to our next deal

Melvin Walter

Visited this place today with a mixture of coins and no knowledge of their worth. Was informed as to what they were and their value.
Left the establishment a lot wealthier than I arrived and more educated.
A very helpful gentleman.

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5 star review I am delighted we were able to conclude a deal and that you were pleased with the outcome - your coins will find a home with new collectors who will cherish them

Finlay Ross

Michal Hradil

Great little shop on high street in Hungerford. Normally i buy gold and silver online but after yesterday's experience never again. Nigel was very helpful and knowledgeable, gave me great price and for sure will be back soon. I will recommend this shop.

Mandy Bell

After driving myself 'mad' trying to find prices for coins on line, that varied so much, I emailed Friday for help, Nigel replied very quickly. He was able to see me Saturday (the day after) and I felt I received a good price for the coins/medals I needed to sell. Nigel was very knowledgeable and honest. I thought I had 2 x half sovereigns in amongst the coins, he immediately told me they were full sovereigns. He didn't need to, I would have been none the wiser.

terry tibbs

An absolute pleasure doing business with Nigel at Philatelicheritage. Painless and efficient, and the money arrived when he said it would. Will certainly be my first call when I next sell any precious metals.

Matthew Jupe

Highly recommended. I’ve both bought from and sold to Nigel, and every time has been simple and cost-effective. Very knowledgeable staff, super friendly and trustworthy

John Jeffries

A brilliant service all round. Great communication from start to finish and always a swift delivery.

D C

Very efficient and pleasant service. I’d bought some sovereigns online and decided they didn’t fit in my collection. Happy with the price. I’ll be back.

Dave Henderson

Excellent service and very helpful

Richard Tanner

Excellent and extremely professional experience. Very fair prices paid for my gold coins. I will be returning to do more business in the future.

Graham Strevens

Having a collection of stamps and coins to sell, I arranged a visit to Philatelic Heritage. They were very friendly, quickly assessed what I brought in and offered me , what I considered, a fair price for everything. A pleasure to do business with.

Oliver Rutson

My Friend and I had 2 coins which we had been trying to sell for a few months. All dealers and auction houses would faf around, saying it would take months to have a buyer and eventually receive payment. Nigel on the other hand, a very friendly man and a straight shooter, gave us a very desirable offer for the coins and we had money in our accounts before we even left the shop! Very very nice and professional experience with you Nigel and we hope to come back for more.

Foreign Matt

Possibly the most streamlined buying/selling service I've ever encountered. I came in to sell some generic gold/silver coins, I was in and out within 15 minutes or less. Nigel is very committed to the business and gave me very competitive rates on bullion, not to mention how responsive he is to email and phone. Definitely a shining example of how a shop of any kind is meant to be run. Thank you, once again.

Debi Richens

We popped into Hungerford today to sell a couple of items that were no longer wanted. We hadn't been in Philatelic Heritage before, so thought we would visit. Nigel was very helpful, quickly assessed and was happy to purchase our items. He has some great coin sets, and there are also some lovely hand painted art pieces for sale. Worth a visit!

Bob Leitch

Good guy this one. Old school, exemplary approach with a sense of humour. Thanks Nigel. Enjoy your trip to London!

Thomas Hayes

I recently visited Philatelic Heritage; Nigel and the team offer an excellent service. Very friendly, insightful, knowledgeable and reliable. Highly recommend for all buy and sell requirements.

Jane Cockshott

We had no problem making an appointment with Nigel and took our coin collection to him today. It was efficiently appraised and the money is already in the bank. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Jonathan Guy

I was fortunate recently in purchasing some Barbados stamps from Nigel. They arrived promptly, were in great condition as advertised, and at a very good price. A very professional service - thanks.

Mark Nevitt

I had a coin collection in my loft with a mix of coins and quality. I called Nigel , we made an appointment. We quickly agreed a fair price for the whole lot , money was in my bank account before I left the shop.

Jack

This was my first time here and I managed to find a lot of coinage, stamps, and banknotes for my collection. A very nice close-knit team of staff and bought a silver coin for a good price! Nigel knows exactly what he's talking about, very knowledgeable and would love to deal with this business again!

Neil Reddaway

If coins or stamps are your thing, this is the shop/ online / FB auction site for you.

Nigel is acknowledged far and wide as an SME.

A pleasure to deal with.

kellett hieke

Reading the reviews I also never write reviews but have also dealt/had deals with Nigel on a few occasions and found him to be fair and very knowledgeable even offering advise and support just out of the goodness of his heart,
Top dealer and will definitely be dealing with him in the future 👍

Brooksy TPS

Honestly one of the best coin shops out there, they have coins in these bargain buckets ranging from like £1 to £5 and it's worth it for most, any of like the proof sets or special 50p's are all in the cabinets.

Robert Keit

Great service !

John sharp

Always perfect service and great delivery from Philatelic, trusted dealer, whom I use regularly.

Martyn Hills

I’ve dealt with Philatelic Heritage a couple of times and the service is excellent. Most recently I ordered coins on a Friday afternoon and they were received the next day.
Recently, I have made a further purchase and again the service was excellent - thank you

Nasser Siaf

Well I don't usually post reviews, but on this occasion having dealt with Nigel twice, I felt it necessary. I was made to feel welcome and Nigel very knowledgeable made both my transactions very pleasant and at no time did I fell pressured, all questions answered very professionally. Thanks again Nigel and hope to do business with you again.

Ewa Bogusz

Great service from Nigel again. Fast delivery of the items, well packed and great comms on top of it. Not first time used it and surely not the last one. Thank you so much Nigel 😀

Aaron Whitty

I purchased a tube of Charlie Brittanias at a great price. The package was wrapped exceptionally well and was on my doorstep the nxt working day.
I will most definitely be using them again in the future.

David Hewitt

I write this review in recommendation. Over the past couple of years I have received an exceptional level of service from Nigel at Philatelic Heritage both as a buying and selling customer and ranging across stamps, coins and precious metals.
The high level of knowledge and personal integrity is second to none and frankly they always seem to be the best value if either buying or selling which nowadays is a combination not seen very often (as usual you trade price/value against knowledge and service) so well done.
Now I can confidently state I now I don’t even shop around, I enjoy dealing with Nigel as a person and he always comes up trumps.
First class!!!

Wendy Allott

Very friendly service and we are pleased with the outcome. Thank you Nigel!

Dan Clougher

Always a pleasure to deal with; superb prices, high quality coins, and expertly packaged for prompt delivery - would happily recommend to anyone.

Leigh Parker

Having just sold our family coin collection to Philatelic Heritage, I would 100% recommend them.
From start to finish Nigel has been amazing. Phone calls, emails and in person he was a genuine gentleman. Very knowledgeable, friendly and pay's good prices. Instant pay via bank transfer. Thanks for making it a smooth process Nigel.

Mark Everett

Have bought many items From Nigel in the past and more than happy with the whole buying experience, 1st class knowledge of all types of coins / notes and precious metal items ect, Great prices and Very helpful all round, would highly recommend. AAA+++

Nigel was the only collector to answer my emails regarding a family collection of coins and stamps. Always quick and helpful with his messages, clear in his price offer, and not at all pushy. Very happy to have sold to him.

Jo Obrien

Met Nigel today and he was very fair and we believe honest about our late dad's collection, we left happy with what he offered and accepted his offer, the money was in the account within minutes. Thank you Nigel for your help, I'd definitely recommend you

Insanity 1

Great shop, amazing service, super friendly and informative staff, would definitely recommend! Can't speak highly enough!

Jill Smith

Nigel made us feel at home and was very knowledgeable about the coins and gold we'd brought in. He priced everything individually, and wasn't pushy at all about which pieces we decided to sell and which to keep. We felt we got a fair price for everything, and I was paid via bank transfer while there.

Graham Bond

Great service,price and packaging would highly recommend this company

NGMD

A very good transaction with Nigel, excellent price, well packaged and super quick delivery. A wealth of experience not to be missed. Top Man

Excellent Service. I had an inherited stamp collection I knew little about along with some collected coins. I was given a very fair price as well as efficient, friendly service. I would definitely recommend.

June Mansbridge

Visited Nigel today, very well received, he looked at my Bird Stamp Collection and complimented me on the layout and presentation, assessed each of the six volumes and, gave me an overall price, which was acceptable. Someone with whom I was very happy to do business.

Andrew Phethean

I have bought many times from Nigel at Philatelic Heritage and always found the service to be of a very high quality indeed. Items are dispatched quickly and are as described, with clear communication throughout. In the very rare instance where there has been any issue, Nigel has rectified things immediately without any hassle. I always rate a business on how well any disputes are handled and Nigel is exemplary in this regard. That means I know I can trust them completely. I hope to continue buy from Philatelic Heritage for years to come.

Steve Monaghan

I recently sold part of my collection to Philatelic Heritage, and was happy with the price and experience. Nigel and the team in there are friendly and helpful. The shop is well presented, with a great selection.

Richard Turner

Great options and information provided about pieces by Nigel. Great postal service provided, and being a distance buyer, Great communication from them. Would highly recommend items from this store, and maybe one day I can actually get to the shop itself!
