Probate Valuations
Aside from property, the next most valuable assets requiring a valuation for probate will often be jewellery and coin collections - often investment coins, such as gold Sovereigns, Britannias and coins that have a numismatic value.
A Detailed Guide to VAT on Gold & Silver Bullion
Most people buy gold or silver bullion as an investment, so it makes sense to minimise any outlay that will reduce your potential profit. One such expense is VAT (Value Added Tax), so this article explains whether it’s charged on gold and silver bullion, what affects their VAT liability and how it might impact you as an investor in gold and silver.
Investment Guide
For centuries, gold has been associated with wealth and security, and the reasons for this are as valid today as they were back in the mists of time. Gold is a rare and precious commodity, and around the world financial advisors will recommend you invest in gold bullion.
Capital Gains Tax
Coins that are British legal currency (ie. legal tender Pound sterling coins) are not subject to Capital Gains Tax. Foreign coins and bullion bars are liable to CGT. This makes purchasing certain Royal Mint coins an incredibly attractive option for precious metal investors domiciled in the United Kingdom, especially given the British Government intends to reduce CGT thresholds to just £3,000 in the near future.
Buying Gold vs Silver
Purchasing gold or silver bullion is a worthwhile and rewarding investment. But if you trying to decide whether to buy gold or silver bars or coins, which will be the best choice for you?
Hairline Scratches
Hairline scratches impact the value of collectible proof coins. They’re caused by cleaning, handling and improper storage and will reduce the amount we can offer you when you come to sell. Find out how to identify hairlines and how to avoid them.
Buying Gold Bars vs Gold Coins
The gold bar is instantly recognised worldwide as a symbol of wealth, status and security. For those with the wherewithal to invest in gold bullion, it may seem an automatic choice for their investment. But pause a moment – because buying gold coins instead may suit your purpose better.

Buon giorno. Avete un negozio online ben fornito e di facile utilizzo. L'imballaggio del prodotto è stato ottimo. Ho solo un reclamo da fare ! Ho provato a chiamare presso op vostro negozio più volte senza avere nessuna risposta , ho usato anche il vostro contatto watzap ma anche in questo caso non ho avuto risposta. Vi ho contattato a luglio e agosto per sapere se erano previste le spese doganali,in fine ho acquistato senza sapere ....

Very easy to use website I think you enter the website and there's the latest "live metal prices" with an "Enter Search Item" bar at the top of the page. I like the fact it has the search feature as the home page. When you search for the item(s) it quickly shows the results, along with images of the coins or coin sets. I like that, too. The only downside with these types of businesses, is that you can't get to see a close up image of the coin and/or coin set you are buying. I feel that, because this company buys coins from collectors, etc. that they will have several items that are the same, but in varying degrees of quality and condition, and then, when your buying a 2nd hand item, it's going to be a case of pot luck on what you're going to get. And so, if it was possible, I'd love for BCC to get images of each item that you're going to buy. This is so you know what you're getting before you buy it. That said, every item I've bought from BCC has been of a very nice quality. Two of the coins were of a staggering high quality and the two sets I bought were much better than the average coin sets from eBay. I would say that BCC are the best company in the UK when it comes to used and brand new coins and coin sets. Not only that, the speed at which they get your order processed and delivered to your door is very very fast. The packaging is also on point and highly professional. Also, and one of the most important things, I really trust the Britannia Coin Company. Their prices are very fair and their items are clean and in good condition. They also have a good standing within the coin community.

I was amazed at the communication from when my order was initiated and being kept in the loop as to the progress. All transactions were good and amazed at how quick my parcel was shipped out and received the following day! Due to excellent customer service I have not hesitated recommending to others.

Really personal service. I phoned and asked some questions regarding the purchase of a silver Denari coin. I paid online and received it the following day. They were very helpful when I phoned with some more questions about how to identify my coin which I'd received from a bundle. They sent me an email with some great information. Tip top service which is rare to find these days. Many thanks and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
