Welcome! I’m Justin Squires-Cowan, the founder and sole trader behind Solway Swan Bullion.

My journey with coins and precious metals began as a collector. As a child my Auntie gifted me ‘The Queen Mother’s 90th Birthday’ commemorative coin, now a beautiful piece of history. This led me on to collecting as many ‘special’ coins as I could, mostly 50 pence pieces from the change of my lunch money, Two Pound coins which I collected with my Mum and foreign coins from our family holidays. I’ve always been fascinated by the history and craftsmanship of these special coins. 

Since then I started collecting a small amount of gold and silver coins.

What began as hobby turned into a business idea when I decided to sell some of my collection on eBay, Vinted and Facebook. Connecting with others who share an appreciation for gold, silver and coins has been really exciting and is what has fueled this venture.

I’ve also recently taken a shine to the growing trend of collecting copper bullion coins. With the rising cost of gold and silver, copper is a lower budget friendly investment option to start or expand a collection, and some of the designs are incredible! Many within the precious metals community are now producing copper bullion coins for children to become collectors or “Stackers”, I hope to offer these products too.

At Solway Swan Bullion, I’m committed to offering only high quality gold and silver bullion and collectable coins, sourced exclusively from reputable buyers or directly from the Mint where possible. Every item is carefully selected to ensure authenticity and value, whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting your own collection, your trust and satisfaction is my top priority. 

To provide peace of mind, all stock is securely stored at a trusted external location, ensuring the highest standards of safety and protection.

My goal is to make your experience with Solway Swan Bullion seamless, reliable and rewarding, helping you grow your collection and safeguard your wealth with confidence.
