I prefer Britannias over sons because of the security features and the colour

@SovereignSaurus 16 күн бұрын

Yes it's a fair point, many in the same boat

@thetruth9210 13 күн бұрын

Definitely why would anyone try and make a fake Britannia when its got so many security features when they could fake a sovereign so much easier

@thetruth9210 13 күн бұрын

I think its good to stack 10th Britannia's. The security features on a 10th would be that much harder to fake. Also they might only be worth £220 today but in the feature they might be worth £1000? (and 1oz coins £10,000) £1000 would be a decent amount to sell, £10,000 might be harder to sell

I like the sovereigns because they are 22k I like to hold my gold. I have to buy pure gold here so they get scratched when I hold them but I still want to hold them. Even pamps I just take them out of the assay. I wish it was 22k so I could feel better about holding the gold and stacking it in piles.

@melektaus2906 14 күн бұрын

I have a couple 24k coins(Britannia,Weiners) I keep in an quarter oz eagle tube with all my assorted other 22mm 22k coins (mostly sovereigns, eagles, krugs), they seem to have held up pretty well although I haven’t put them under magnification I’m not jostling them around too much but yeah, I love being able to hold them. All my other 24k coins/bars are in flips or assay though, I don’t have to fondle every piece of gold I have as long as I have some to play with. I know gold buffalos are sturdier than most other 24k, they’ve been annealed or tempered or whatever the term is for making 24k more resistant to damage, shame other mints don’t bother with it

@pifs-TM 16 күн бұрын

No sales tax on any billion in my state, but after a certain amount, reporting on sales is sent to the IRS unless it’s a few rare options. However the premiums on AGE’s or Gold Buffalos just feel like a tax. So I stick to our $5 commemoratives. Low premiums and also 22 Karat. Britannias are much cheaper premium option for us here. Great info and love the sovereigns! -PiFS 🐀

@SovereignSaurus 16 күн бұрын

Fantastic good luck! I like to look at proofs but overall I stick mostly to bullion. There's a few proofs that I've bought on past videos including the 1989 4 coin set and some of the more recent special design sovereigns. Just feel like there is more risk with proof coins due to the premium to buy them

@thetruth9210 13 күн бұрын

I think if you buy proof coins you are straying into coin collecting and paying a premium for something that's shinny rather than buying gold bullion coins. It won't be sure in the future you will get that premium back and trying to get a premium will make it harder to sell

So why do we have to pay 20% tax on a silver Britannia when it also has a face value and is deemed currency??

@SovereignSaurus 15 күн бұрын

Hi MDS, Ask HMRC but broadly speaking that is VAT which is a tax on purchases vs CGT (Capital Gains Tax) which is liable on profits from disposal of an asset

@lorraineking3053 13 күн бұрын

@@MadDogSurvival Also, if you buy second hand silver you do not pay the tax and there are online stores that will sell you second hand. You can also buy silver though a company with a vault based in Switzerland, Singapore or Southern Ireland (for example) and so long as you do not withdraw the silver out of that jurisdiction you will not pay the tax, nor when you sell it back to them. So don't let the 20% tax stop you holding silver if you want to diversify.

@MadDogSurvival 13 күн бұрын

Thanks! Yes I do hold silver already. I agree with your comments other than the part about vaulting, I believe that the moto of if you don’t hold it you don’t own it is important with any precious metal stacking. I appreciate you taking the time to respond good of you 👍🏻👍🏻😎 best wishes

It's easier to count your gold stack when it's in one ounces. Hah, there you go. I put four quarters in a flip, or five tenths, store the halves with the one ounces. Easier to count. Well with Perth Mint anyway, which is the bulk of my gold.

I prefer the 1oz Brittania's, Just an example, today 05/07/24, Tavex buy back for 1 Britannia loses you £67.50, Sovs loses you £21.58 Ea, so x four is £86.32 and still less total gold. 1/4oz and 1/10th oz Britannia's though on Tavex are much higher risk, losing £47.30 ea for the 1/4 and a whopping £25.43ea so £254.30 over the Ounce. 1oz Brittania's all the way for me.
