ABOUT US
Laurence
and Margaret Andrews started their coin business in Leicester in the early 1970’s, trading under
the name of Laurence Andrews. Airedale Coins was not established until 1978,
when the business moved to Bingley in West Yorkshire.
Bingley is a market town in the middle of the Airedale Valley in the Yorkshire Dales, from which the name
Airedale was taken . Recently the name has been shortened to Airedale Co.,
purely for security reasons, as it is probably wise not to advertise that
packets and parcels may contain valuable items.
The
Business is 100% Mail Order, and we specialise in giving a highly efficient and
competitively priced service to our clients. We offer a personal service and
are always happy to talk on the telephone to customers about their
requirements. We sometimes visit coin fairs, and may meet clients face to face,
but, as a general rule, all transactions are by mail.
The main
business has tended to focus on new issues, particularly from the UK, but, with this new website, we intend
to increase the number of older British coins in stock.
We are long
established members of both the ANA (American Numismatic Association) and the
BNTA (British Numismatic Trade Association.
Prices are
subject to availability and to price changes, particularly on gold and precious
metal items.
