Hartco Aurum — Specialist Physical Gold

Specialist Graded Gold

Authenticated. Graded. Verified.

Graded gold is the main commercial focus of Hartco Aurum. We specialise in the sourcing of authenticated and professionally graded gold coins — each one independently assessed for authenticity and condition, and sealed with its own certification number.

Authenticated

Independently verified

Every graded coin is assessed for authenticity and condition by a recognised third-party grading service, such as PCGS or NGC, before it is offered to you.

Graded

Condition, made clear

Condition is expressed on a recognised grading scale. You know exactly what the coin is — and its condition — before you commit.

Certified

Sealed and traceable

Graded coins are sealed in tamper-evident holders with a certification number that can be checked against the grading service's registry.

Sourced

Found for you

Tell us the coin, year, grading company or grade you are after, and we source it. Specific grades and certification numbers are confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Product availability, specific grades, certification numbers and pricing are confirmed at the time of enquiry. Product photography is added as genuine stock becomes available.

Hartco does not make guarantees about future prices, returns or profits. Sourcing is confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Sell gold

When you wish to sell, we are still here.

Hartco buys graded gold coins, gold coins and selected physical gold. We use an enquiry-first process — no price is promised before the item has been assessed.

Tell us what you hold

Coin, grading details if held, approximate quantity, and whether you wish to sell some or all of it.

We assess and confirm a price

Hartco reviews the piece and confirms a current purchase price. The price is the price at the time — not a historic promise.

You decide

There is time to read the figures. Nothing proceeds until you confirm.

We settle with care

Collection or delivery, identity and provenance as required, and payment arranged properly.

The Hartco Aurum approach

Personal. Discreet. Professionally sourced.

Hartco Aurum is a specialist physical gold company, focused on authenticated and graded gold coins alongside selected physical gold and bespoke sourcing.

Physical gold is a tangible holding, not a promise. If its value later rises and it is sold for more than the total acquisition cost, a client may make a profit. Prices can also fall. There is no guaranteed return, and Hartco does not provide personal investment advice.

The approach is simple: personal, discreet, professionally sourced, and never rushed. The right coin is the one that fits the person in front of us — not a promotion, and not a ticker.

Hartco's interest has always been the client. The right coin is the one that fits the person in front of us — not a promotion, and not a ticker. If we can place that coin in your hands now, with the facts clear, we have done the job.

The figures · September 2026

What the market has done. Not what it will do.

Past performance is not a guide to the future. Gold prices can fall as well as rise. Hartco does not tell you gold is going higher — we help you hold the right coin now, at a price that is current and clear.

Important information

Hartco Aurum Ltd provides physical gold buying, selling, sourcing and general product information. It does not constitute personal investment, financial, tax or legal advice, and it is not an FCA-regulated investment service, a bank, or a guaranteed investment.

If the value of the physical gold increases sufficiently and the client later sells it for more than their total acquisition cost, they may make a profit. However, gold prices can fall and there is no guaranteed return.

Hartco may purchase gold from clients who wish to sell. Any purchase price is confirmed at the time and is not a guaranteed buy-back at a fixed premium. Spreads, availability and settlement terms apply.

Where VAT or tax treatment is mentioned, it is conditional and depends on the product and on personal circumstances — confirm with independent professional advice. Hartco does not provide tax advice.

Market figures on this page are illustrative references, not live prices and not Hartco selling prices. Product availability, pricing, premiums, taxes and fulfilment arrangements will be confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Hartco does not claim to be an authorised Royal Mint dealer. Clients should obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.
