Professional Gold & Silver Coin Testing Across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire & the Humber
Want greater confidence in your gold or silver without expensive or destructive testing?
CoinVerify now offers a professional precious-metal verification service using the Sigma Metalytics Original Precious Metal Verifier, providing fast, non-destructive screening of compatible precious-metal coins and bullion.
The Sigma Metalytics system uses electromagnetic measurements to assess the electrical properties of the metal and compare them with the expected characteristics of the selected precious-metal alloy — without scratching, filing or acid testing your coins.
Ideal for collectors, bullion investors, coin dealers, jewellers and anyone purchasing or selling larger quantities of precious metals.
Pricing
50+ coins — 50p per coin
25+ coins — £2 per coin
10+ coins — £3 per coin
Minimum booking: 10 coins
Printed test results available for an additional 25p per coin, providing a record of the testing carried out and the result obtained.
Suitable for many gold and silver bullion coins, Sovereigns, bars and rounds, subject to the capabilities of the Sigma Metalytics Original.
Please contact us for larger collections, dealer quantities or particularly high-volume requirements.
What Can Be Tested?
Suitable items can include:
✓ Gold bullion coins
✓ Silver bullion coins
✓ Sovereigns & fractional bullion
✓ Investment-grade precious metals
✓ Many bars and rounds within the capabilities of the equipment
Testing is performed using a Sigma Metalytics Original Precious Metal Verifier and the appropriate setting for the item being examined.
Non-Destructive & Convenient
Unlike traditional acid testing, Sigma verification is non-destructive and does not require scratching or damaging the surface of your coin.
The service can provide an additional level of confidence when checking a collection, assessing a recent purchase or screening multiple coins before further professional examination.
Your Collection Is in Safe Hands
We understand that handing over valuable coins and bullion requires trust.
For additional peace of mind, I hold a current Enhanced DBS check and maintain professional registration in my other line of work. Your coins will be handled carefully and respectfully throughout the verification process.
Service available across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber, subject to location and arrangement.
Please Note
Sigma Metalytics testing is an extremely useful non-destructive precious-metal screening method, but it should not be represented as a guarantee of a coin's numismatic authenticity or provenance. The service assesses whether the tested metal responds consistently with the selected precious-metal composition within the capabilities of the equipment.
Where a result is unusual, inconclusive or further confirmation is required, additional professional examination such as XRF analysis may be recommended which can be significantly more money per coin (we do not offer this service).
Booking & Appointment Information
A minimum service charge of £30 applies to all appointments. Please email us with the type and quantity of coins you would like tested. Once your requirements have been confirmed, an invoice will be provided for any outstanding balance.
Travel within 10 miles of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire is included free of charge. For appointments further afield, additional mileage will be charged at 25p per mile.
Appointments can be arranged at your home, place of work or a mutually agreed public location, depending on your preference.
Privacy & Discretion
We understand that precious-metal collections can be both valuable and personal. All appointments are therefore handled with the utmost discretion and respect for your privacy.
We do not maintain an inventory or record of the coins or bullion in your collection beyond information required for invoicing, requested test documentation and normal business records.
Your collection. Your privacy. Professionally handled.
