I have had several sets from the London mint, they are fabulous quality and always have gorgeous presentation folders. I frequently liaise with Jennifer who is exceptionally helpful and always does her utmost to help with my selection or purchase. I would recommend the company in a heartbeat for its gorgeous coins.

Avoid these people and company and save your money. My mother bought the Elvis Presley coin set, not including the £400+ coin. Set was £149.99 and agreed to pay in 3 instalments. She made first payment via the phone and lady told her next one could be done via my mothers online account which she did on the second payment, both showing on her bank statement and internet banking. 3rd and last is due 15th of this month but this week she got a letter saying she hasn’t made no payments at all which is 100% a lie! Plus we have proof they were paid. She called LMO this afternoon to be given “oh the accounts department probably haven’t updated your account” then proceeds to ask if we had proof she paid. Are they seriously accusing her of lying? He said he would email accounts to update her account but I’m not holding my breath and she’s expecting another threatening letter demanding money they already have! If all fails, will be reporting them to ombudsman and trading standards.

I have been trying to return a coin which I did not order for the last 2 months. They said that a return label was on its way. I am still waiting for a return label. In the meantime they are charging me for delayed payments. I will be seeking legal advice on this.

Avoid this company like the PLAGUE. Seriously, don't buy anything with them. I purchased a Gold Quarter Sovereign coin from the LMO, after a month it still hadn't turned up, but I received two bills for payment, even though I hadn't received the coin, with the first bill for £99 (which was the price of the coin, but it was originally to be paid over 3 months at £33 per month), but instead wanted me to pay £99 in total. The second bill then arrived then arrived and a £10 admin fee was added to the total bill due to me not paying the first bill, DESPITE THE FACT that I still hadn't received the coin. So, I called the customer services line over the coming days, and I could never get through to someone to speak to about this. Eventually after attempting numerous times over numerous days, I got to through to someone. Now, this is why LMO get 2 stars instead of one. The person I spoke to was a lovely lady who listened to what I said, eased my fears about the bill in that they told me that they knew I didn't have the coin so they knew I wasn't calling under false pretences. To that end they then requested a new coin to be sent out and for the original payment plan to be reinstated (£33 every month). However, the key part here is that they KNEW I didn't have the coin - it was in Royal Mail's possession - yet they had the nerve to bill me and ask for payment for something I didn't receive. I then get an email from the LMO some time later asking for payment, despite the coin not having arrived AGAIN, so I complained and told them that this is ridiculous that I was getting billed for something I hadn't received and relayed to them how frustrating this is. Then, as sod's law would dictate, the coin ACTUALLY arrived that very afternoon, however, due to the bad experience I had (except for the lovely customer services person who helped me), with the LMO, I emailed them to say that I was sending the coin back, but that they would have to pay for the postage due to all of the hassle. Now - this is they get two stars instead of one - they actually sent me a pre-paid postage sticker with tracked delivery that I would put on the envelope which contained the coin, which I sent back soon afterwards and I thought that was it. Oh boy was I wrong, just today, I received ANOTHER bill from the LMO for the SAME coin that I had sent to them previously for around £115, which is frustrating and stressful to deal with. I have had depression and anxiety for over two decades, now on a good day, you'd never know that I had mental health issues, but on bad days, I can be an absolute wreck and/or bed bound and incapable of dealing with financial matters and administration and constantly sending me bills for (a) a coin I had never received and (b) for a coin that I had sent back to them. It seems like the customer services part of the company and the billing department do not talk to each other or because they clearly just send out the bills and don't bother to check if the coin has been sent out/received/returned and they just pump out the bills. Either way, this is a terrible way to run a business and will continue to lose customers who get stressed and frustrated by having to do with repeated bills and demands for payment for products not received or sent back to them. No one needs the hassle, but especially for someone like me battling mental health issues, I simply do NOT have the capabilities to deal with stuff like this on a regular basis. Therefore, please avoid the LMO if you can. The customer service team ARE good, if you can get through to them, but even then you'll still get billed for stuff you haven't received or sent back.

Thought I was getting a free coin and had ti pay 2.50 for postage. When the transaction went through found out I was charged gor a princess Diana coin that I dis not request. I cancelled the card transaction. A couple of weeks later they sent me the coin on approval. I gave tried to contact them via phone and email but have been unable to contact them for a return prepaid envelope. I have stated that I was misled in the email yo them but they still have not replied. They should be pulled up on this but just seem to continue conning people.

The London Mint Office has been conning my grandmother for years selling her worthless commemorative coins. She is a 93 year old vulnerable lady and they just will not leave her alone. Aggressive sales tactics and allowing her to build up tens of thousands of pounds of debt are amongst some of her negative experiences. DO NOT BUY FROM THE LMO!!

Absolutely rubbish company. Ordered 1 for my daughters collection, received 2 which I did not order, they said I did. Paid for 1 then got emails demanding second payment I wanted to return, 'return at my expense!' in the end I'v paid for it less hassle. Note.. this happened in a previous order, again I paid for 2 when I ordered 1. Not only that I was repeatedly asked for a payment after I paid for both. It took me numerous emails to get them to eventually reply stating yes I had paid. I would avoid at a cost. I won't be using again.

I had to chase up a collection after 3 months of having paid in full. It appeared that they'd got the money, but no order. Eventually received after difficulty trying to contact them. I'm now chasing again for a friend who'd ordered a coin (Elvis gold plated) using the phone number on the full page advert from the Sun. He's never received the coin but has a threatening invoice for the outstanding amount, also informing of extra£10 charges if they contact him again. I used the freephone number and was cut off as I didn't want to leave the name and number of my friend. I tried the account payment line number, left my name and number but got no reply. Email got an automated reply and after 6 working days (10 days after sending) still nothing. I've left yet another message giving 2 different contact numbers and stating that they've got my email address. Totally fed up, disillusioned and don't recommend them. I won't be having any further contact once this situation is resolved

I bought one coin. I didn’t want any more. I have since been inundated with emails and texts. I am incensed that there is no unsubscribe link on the email and the text requires a phone call to opt out. I will, on principle, never buy from this outfit again. I do not wish to receive any further communication from the Mint Office. I will report the email as phishing and/or scam.

My late mother spent £10,000 on coins from the London Mint as an investment. It's scandalous that they can get away with preying on the vulnerable.

Ordered a single George and the Dragon sovereign which still hasn't arrived. However a member of staff rang to ask if I'd received it. Whilst on the phone he mentioned a double sovereign. I Expressed an interest but DID NOT order it. A couple of days later a double sovereign arrived at £2000+ The single on has not been received. I Cannot get hold of them either by e-mail or telephone. However I believe it is the law that if you do not order an item but it is sent to you and you have tried to return it you can keep it! So I am and I've told them so too

I was tricked into buying a “Free Dame Vera Lynn” coin where you are only meant to pay shipping - £2.95. Currently, (at the time of writing this review) they still have the offer on their website. As i filled out address details I found it did not ask for a payment method- it just sent the coin to me when i didn’t even confirm payment. They then sent me the coin (which I’m sure is fake anyway) and demanded an invoice of £17.95 saying that the coin was apparently £14.95 when i DID NOT AGREE TO THAT PAYMENT. Luckily I did not give them my bank details. DO NOT associate with the London Mint office. It’s a scam

Just received a coin from the London mint and I'm appalled and disgusted in the way it arrived, it looks like someone just dropped it in a zipper bag and posted it, I've called to express my disgust but the woman (Courtney) sounded like she couldn't give a damn, well its the last time order from there!

Don’t buy from these people. They overcharge and coins not worth what you pay. I took out a payment plan over 6 months. I paid up front £148 50 that they had not asked for, I just had the cash available so felt I would like to pay it in. They gave me payment terms of the balance over the next six months for the 15th of the month. Then they changed it to the 19th of the month. I received a call from a Welsh lady on the 19th who told me the funds would be taken on 20th. I told her I had agreed to pay on 19th as requested but she insisted the funds would be taken on 20th. Well actually the payment of £123.75 was taken on 19th. Then they took a payment of £123.77. On 20th. This took me in overdraft. It took them a week to refund. Ok so now I expect to pay on 20th of every month, however they took another payment of £123.75 out on 7/12. Again this has taken me in overdraft. I’ve told them to send me a returns postage envelope as I will be returning the coins and I expect a full refund. They tried to say they are out of the returns policy but I’ve stood my ground. I’m going to insist they refund me for all the coins they have charged me £29.99 and £39-99 for that are worth 0. If they won’t then I’m going to trading standards and on social media and I will contact someone in a very senior position. These people are in Wales.,they don’t know what they are doing, they said payment was taken by mistake. Doesn’t help me, I’m in overdraft. Be very careful, don’t deal with these people. Scam artists.
