All about us, what we do, why we do it and how we help others
Collector at heart...
Hello, I'm Karl from 1817.co.uk and we collect Sovereigns and a few other choice gold coins! There I've said it! We also trade with, supply and advise others when building a collection, investing or simply when buying gifts. What's really important to me is not just what we do, but also how we do it...

Personal service from an independent business
with expert advice you can trust
Personal service
Quality Service is important to me and to our customers. If you're investing in a premium product, you rightfully should receive a premium personal service. The website is just the shop window (a pretty one granted) and a method of transacting. I'd encourage customers to call, ask questions, give and take advice, after all it's free and we both might learn something!
Independent business
Based in beautiful North Yorkshire in the UK, we're an independent business who source and supply Sovereigns across the UK, Europe and further afield. Our independence means we do things to suit ourselves and our customers. We're flexible, adaptable and nimble, meaning we can always react quickly and imaginatively to meet our customers ever changing needs.
Specific expertise
Sovereigns are our thing, especially modern proof coins! We know this specific marketplace and the characteristics of it. Meaning we can advise credibly, help and guide collectors, investors or those selling collections. Trends come and go, prices move quickly, understanding this, guiding buyers and sellers and providing market intelligence is all part of the service we provide.
Impartial advice
It's often difficult for any business to be truly impartial, however we do strive to achieve this. Guiding customers, both buyers and sellers on the best products to buy or methods of selling, is fundamental to what we do and how we do it. That's why it's important to have the one to one personal contact, to understand aims, needs and aspirations, if we can't help we will say!
Trust & Confidence
Whether buying or selling, we know trust and confidence is vital in a premium purchase or sale. We'll always strive to provide the best experience possible and deal fairly, openly, honestly and with integrity. We want customers for life not just for one transaction! If we get it wrong we want to know, if we get it right we want everyone to know! You can see a sample of our reviews below...
