Lovely coins and love that free shipping
Beautiful coins and the free international shipping can't be beat. Great way to stack gold a few grams at a time. Always fast arrival too.

Ordered a few coins and had a positive experience
Ordered a few coins and they arrived as described. I did have an issue with the tracking info not updating but I contacted Hattons and the coins arrived shortly afterwards. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would shop with them again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Unfortunately Royal Mail had experienced a disruption to all international services, which meant that the tracking wasn't updated. However I am delighted to hear that you have now received your order and that you are happy with everything.

Value for price
I have now ordered a few times from Hattons. Not only have I found the items priced reasonably for their intrinsic value but I have repeatedly found a free bonus item in the shipments. My purchase goal has been for either display worthy items or collectibles. Either way they seem quality. My new gold coins were barely over spot gold price. I wish to extend a "thank you" in my review--for the products and the bonuses.

Great experience
I've purchased 2 different Quarter Sovereigns at this point (Princess Diana, Queen Victoria) and will be purchasing more for you guys as I love the beauty of each coin and the wonderful value the Quarter Sovereigns offer. Called customer service from the US for shipping questions during the holiday strikes and your agent was extremely friendly and helpful 10/10

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback Cheryl and thank you for your time on the phone earlier today. I am sorry that you were disappointed with the size of your purchase for The 2022 Queen Elizabeth II Tribute Gold One Eighth Sovereign. It's a lovely idea to have this put into a necklace but as advised if you do wish to return it for a full refund, please do not hesitate to contact me. I wanted to apologise for disturbing your lunch, I hope you had a lovely time with your family.
Best regards

Wonderful experience
Wonderful experience! The Elizabeth II tribute coins we’re both beautifully made and received in a timely manner especially during these precarious international times. I am greatly appreciative of the care given to ensuring that my order arrived in a well protected manner.
