Who We Are
When you are buying or selling gold coins, it helps to know exactly who you are dealing with.
Lawrence Chard
Lawrence Chard started dealing in coins, including gold sovereigns in 1964.
The original business was located in Dale Street, Blackpool.
In 1969 we bought and moved to our current premises.
R. & L. Coins
Originally we were known as R. & L. Coins, and we still retain that sign on our facia.
Chard (1964) Limited
In 1992, we changed our name to Chard (1964) Limited, partly because the Chard name was well known and well regarded, particularly by many Blackpool "old-timers", and partly because in addition to our original business dealing in coins, we have a gold bullion, gold jewellery, and diamond ring section of our business.
Harrowside Showroom
In 2014 we opened a new building at 32-36 Harrowside. They are within walking distance of eachother. If you want to know which building to visit, click here.
