Frequently asked questions
Can I pay with a credit or laser card?
Unfortunately we are unable to accept either laser cards or credit cards. The risk of fraud is too great and in the case of credit cards the commission charges applied by the credit card companies are generally higher than our margin. The easiest way to pay is by bank transfer, this is secure. Cash can be paid directly into our bank account too, within the limits imposed by EU money laundering regulations (€15,000). If you intend to pay cash into our bank please contact us in advance.

Can I collect my purchase?
Because of the obvious security risks we do not keep stock of any of our products are our office location. All stock is held in a secure third-party storage facility. We can arrange to meet customers at this location during normal business hours to effect handover of products. We charge very low delivery rates and find that for the majority of customers delivery to their home or business premises is the best option. However we do appreciate that especially for UK customers who are travelling to collect there may be special arrangements. Please call us to discuss this.
Will you buy back my purchases in the future?
Yes, definitely. We are always ready to re-purchase anything that you purchased from us. Our business is buying and selling bullion, gold, silver and other precious metals. We need to purchase in order to sell. We will always re-purchase and because of our very low margins will normally be able to offer a higher price than our competitors. As a guide we will repurchase whatever you purchased from us at around spot price, which you will find is much more than our competitors will offer you.
Do you buy scrap gold and silver?
Yes, definitely. We buy scrap gold and silver at the best price in Ireland, whether it's old jewellery, coins, wedding rings or any other form we will purchase your scrap gold or silver. We pay the best prices for hallmarked gold, we buy scrap gold by weight depending on the actual gold content. To get the best price make sure that each piece has a hallmark, that will help us to sort the scrap gold quickly and easily then we can weigh it and work out the price based on the spot price of gold. For small amounts we can pay cash, but for most quantities we pay by cheque or bank transfer. Most of the time we will require identification of sellers to comply with government regulations.
Identification of customers
What is required?
EU regulations require that sellers of gold:
- Identify their customers
- Report suspicious transactions to the Garda Siochana/Revenue Commissioners
- Keep records
- Have procedures in place, including staff training
In common with other sellers of high-value goods Anglo Irish Gold Limited will ask customers for proof of identity and address and will keep copies of the documents used.
If you are purchasing silver coins we don't need id and proof of address.
If you want to pay with cash then we do need to keep a record of your purchases to comply with money laundering legislation, this means we can't sell you more than 15,000 euros worth of coins for cash in a 5 year period.
For silver coin purchase we do not need id.
VAT
VAT explanation. Coins that are, or have been legal tender in their country of origin are exempt from VAT when sold as legal tender. We only sell silver coins as legal tender. If at the time of purchase you are buying for any other purpose then please tell us so that we can charge the appropriate VAT on your purchase, currently 21%.
Shipping destinations
Where we ship
