Buying Information

If you are looking to buy precious metals at the lowest premiums, gold is the better option as it is exempt from VAT (as of August 2019). However, gold can be quite an outlay for some budgets as the lower premiums start on one ounce coins.

For example, our sovereign prices start from £466.91 and this will buy you 0.2354 troy ounces of gold. If you want more gold, our cheapest 1 ounce gold coins start from £1,961.98. Compare this to our reduced VAT special scheme silver where you can buy 1 ounce of silver for from £27.90, which is a much more attractive starting price for many investors. It is easy to buy small amounts of silver bullion cheaply and add to it as and when you choose. As with gold, the larger the weight of the coin or bar and the more that you buy, the lower the price of the item you pay. We would recommend investors to buy both gold and silver to balance their precious metal portfolio.
