We Buy Coins, Stamps and other ephemera

If you have a collection to sell, emptied your cupboards or inherited various items and would like a valuation, come and chat to Suffolk Coins and Stamps.

We have over 20 years experience of the coin, stamp and ephemera market. We offer an unconditional valuation service completely free of charge.

We will value your collection in front of you, there is no need to leave it with us. However; if we cannot value your items there and then, we have a team of experts that can be consulted for specific valuations and we will get back to you within 72 hours.

Suffolk Coins and Stamps is based in Ipswich, Suffolk and we are happy to see clients at our home office, or one of our experts can travel to view larger collections at your home if required.

We are happy to value items of any value and have purchased collections from just £50 to several hundred thousands. In all cases payment is immediate.

We Are Looking To Buy The Following

Coin collections, hallmarked metal jewellery, general stamp collections, old letters and correspondence especially pre-1950. Ranging from a Grandparent’s old albums, boxes of clearout, attic and drawer finds and anything stuffed into suitcases and boxes! We’ll happily have a look through and give you the best valuation.​

Coins of Great Britain and Worldwide especially unused currency and banknotes.

Gold coins including Sovereigns.

Silver coins including proof boxed sets and pre-1947 issues.

Specialised philatelic properties of any country from Penny Blacks onwards.

Also Stamp Investment portfolios.

The advantage of coming to us

There are many pitfalls when using dealers and auction houses; Commissions and buyers premiums of up to 40% drive down the returns, unsold lots leave you with storage trouble, late and delayed payments leave you out of pocket. We can turn your items into ready cash, no delays.

Suffolk Coins and Stamps do not have expensive offices or staff, therefore we can offer you, in almost every case, a much higher return and if agreed an instant payment either BACS, Cash or cheque.

We don’t buy very junior stamp collections or modern first day covers.

We generally buy with a client in mind and around 80% of our valuations result in a purchase. Payment is immediate.

You are under no obligation to accept the offer made, but we assure you that we make the most realistic offers around.
