Coins of the Realm
Harlow, Essex · A family-run coin business since 2003
Coins of the Realm Ltd was first established in 2003 and founded by Dan and Louise Moreland — a successful, UK family-run mail order, telephone and online business based in Essex.
We hold live-bid auctions once a month, packed with British gold, sovereigns, hammered and milled coinage and high-grade modern proofs — always with 0% buyer’s premium.

Antique, historical and hammered coins
Dan and Louise both have a long work history in numismatics and have applied that experience and enthusiasm to create ‘Coins of the Realm’, a specialised purveyor and seller of valuable antique and historical coins including hammered coins, bullion, guineas, sovereigns and more.
The history the UK has behind it is so rich and plentiful, and through the many wars and obstacles there was always coinage. Our coin legacy covers periods from Anglo-Saxon to Viking, Celtic to Roman, right through to hammered coins, early milled and modern-day coins. These antique and historical coins have witnessed some of the most gruelling eras, and somehow some issues manage to come through unscathed. Who knows whose pockets these antique coins have jangled in? There is no wonder why such a large percentage of numismatic enthusiasts have such a passion for British coinage.
Whatever you’re seeking, our UK-based team intends to provide and sell quality antique, historical and hammered coins, collectables and works of art. Our evaluations accurately reflect current patterns within this dynamic field, and we assure every coin, whether modern, antique, hammered or historical, to be both accurate and authentic.
Our main aim is to sincerely grade each and every coin that comes to us and then place a reasonable price on that coin based on its history and value. Our reputation precedes us for delivering a friendly and trustworthy service, and we have many clients based in the UK, Europe, the US, Australia and many other countries.
Our monthly auction
We have built our auction platform with both the buyer and seller in mind. We offer a 0% buyer’s premium, meaning what you bid is what you pay (other than postage). This also gives each item the chance to reach its full potential, giving the consigner a higher return on their submissions. We make our money by charging the consigner 10% of the hammer price and absolutely nothing else.
