What is the Buy-Back Programme?Updated 2 months ago

What is the Bar Buy-back Programme?

Our Bar Buy-back Programme is designed for customers who are outside of the returns window and want the reassurance of being able to sell their bars back to The Wessex Mint if needed.

Once the standard returns period has passed, you can sell your Wessex Mint bar collection back to us at its current silver value, making it possible to convert your holdings into cash in an emergency.

The programme is available only to the original purchaser of the bars. To be eligible, bars must:

  • Be in their original, unopened packaging

  • Be in perfect, sellable condition

  • Be returned in the full quantity originally purchased (partial returns are not accepted)

This programme is separate from, and should not be confused with, our standard returns process.

Here’s how it works:

Contact us first

Complete the form to let us know what you intend to return.

Send your bars back

Ship the bars to our Distribution Centre at your own cost, using a tracked and insured service.

We inspect them

Once received, our team checks that the bars meet all eligibility requirements.

We pay you

If approved, payment is made within 7 business days, based on the midday UK spot price on the day we receive the bars.

If the bars do not meet the programme conditions, they will be returned to you.

With the standardised size and certified purity of our bars, they can be traded worldwide. Our Buy-back Programme provides the added reassurance of a guaranteed buyer once the returns window has closed.
