This week, we took delivery of our 100,000th claim - and this is the parcel.

It came from Mr P. in Lincolnshire. His valuation: £1,773.70.

Our very first claim, back in 2008, resulted in a payout of £61.41.

Back then, 9ct gold was worth under £5 a gram. Today, we're paying over £39 a gram - over 90% of what the metal is worth on the live market.

Eighteen years. 100,000 claims. The gold price has changed enormously. The way we treat our customers hasn't.

If you've got gold, silver, coins, or jewellery sitting at home, find out exactly what it's worth and what we'll pay. Our prices are published live on the website every single day - no small print, no surprises.

Have you been surprised by how much your old gold jewellery is worth lately? Let us know in the comments.

We've just published something we should probably have put together a long time ago.

It's a free guide to selling your unwanted precious metals - covering everything from how to identify the purity of your gold, to the warning signs that a buyer isn't offering you a fair deal.

The precious metals buying market is almost entirely unregulated. There's no licensing requirement, no minimum pricing standard, and no legal obligation for a buyer to tell you what your items are worth before they make an offer. That leaves a lot of sellers vulnerable - often without realising it.

We've seen items worth over £1,000 offered for a fraction of that value. We've seen postal services paying less than half the true market rate. And we've seen comparison websites that aren't independent at all.

Reading this guide first will help you to avoid the common pitfalls.

It's completely free, no sign-up needed. Download it via the link below.

Using an X-ray (XRF) machine to test the carat of a Gold bar ensures accurate, non-destructive analysis that reveals the true purity beneath the surface. Because when it comes to gold, certainty is everything.

“I got a silly low offer for a coin collection elsewhere so I called the Gold Traders and got some good advice over the phone on gold sovereign values so we went to get an offer, wow 41% better for just 5 sovereigns and also got advice on sorting the remaining coins so we can get the best value. Compared to the other offer from a specialist dealer in Hungerford who basically tried to rip me off it was like dealing with the flip side of the coin pun intended! Beware who you deal with it’s a bit of a murky game IMO.”

Charity shop bargain! A customer visited yesterday with this bracelet, purchased from a shop in Gloucestershire. Bought as a joke by a man who's wife had hinted he never buys her anything! Bought as costume jewellery, turned out to be gold, worth a whopping £985!
