Beware the £1 Billion Scrap Gold Buying Rip Off

In the last few months we have seen a proliferation of adverts, leaflets and flyers to buy scrap gold "Top Prices Paid", "London Prices Paid", are typical claims.

We were recently featured in the Mail on Sunday's article 'Gold Fever'. We also have a Scrap Gold Sellers Advice page.

We are often asked which are the better buy, but both types of one ounce coins contain exactly the same amount of gold.
