Welcome to Coin Heritage
Coin Heritage, also trading as Philip Cohen Numismatics, was founded in 1978 and originally operated from the old antiques centre in Eton, Berkshire. We relocated to central London in 1981 and have had retail premises in Cecil Court, near Leicester Square since 1988. We are members of the BNTA, the British professional coin trade association (since 1991) and the American Numismatic Association.
We provide a very high level of expertise, drawing on over forty years of experience looking after clients and dealing with rare coins internationally. We maintain our competitiveness by keeping well-informed of current trends, more general market movements and also by maintaining a network of helpful specialist contacts. We are therefore able to quickly and accurately assess the marketability of individual coins or collections.
As we depend very much on personal recommendations and repeat custom, our customer service standards are high. We aim to be straightforward and helpful so that the experience of buying or selling can be enjoyable and informative, as well as rewarding.
Specialities
The main areas of speciality are as follows:
- British collector coins issued from 1500 to 2000
- World collector coins issued from 1500 to 2000
- Gold coins for investment
- Silver coins for investment
Buying
We are always looking to buy:
- Individual RARE coins.
- COIN COLLECTIONS.
- GOLD COINS FOR BULLION VALUE. Sovereigns, Krugerrands, Britannias, Maples (+ all 1 oz coins) and European 20 Francs etc. (tel/email for latest quotes)
- Silver one ounce bullion coins and silver medallic sets.
- Accumulations of miscellaneous UK and world coins.
- Scrap gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct & 22ct) jewellery.
Auction consignment services
Rarer coins and collections may also be submitted through us to be sold in a specialised coin auction - this is generally only advised for more valuable collections or unusual single items. Please note that coins that are mainly gold content value are not recommended to be sold in auction due to the overall commission costs, please request our bullion buying prices instead.
We can advise which coins are suitable for auction then match them to the best of the international auctioneers combining our own experience with published historic results.
We are accredited submission agents for several major coin auctioneers in the UK and also the US and Far East. We look after the whole consignment process, including shipping/insurance as required, all payments and authentication/grading ('slabbing') which is increasingly expected in the modern market.
Our commission fees are at discounted rates and entirely replace the standard auctioneer selling fees. So you receive the auction hammer price less our agreed commission rate.
Settlements of sales proceeds are made promptly, usually within 21 days and advances can be arranged.
Through drawing on our expertise, market knowledge and services we can reduce your overall selling costs while ensuring your coins are presented in the best way at the best auction sales - resulting in you receiving the best possible prices.
