What Are Minty Coins?

Minty coins are our hand-picked selection of orderable bullion coins that are in mint condition and usually, but not always, have been minted in recent years. Please note 'Minty' is a term specific to Chards and is not a traditional grade. Visit our guide section to read more about the term 'Minty' and other bullion coin grades.

What Is The Special Scheme?

The Special Scheme allows bullion dealers to pay VAT only on their profit margin, rather than charging VAT on the full value of the item.

As VAT is only charged on the dealer’s margin, not the full value, the overall purchase price is lower than for newly minted silver bullion.

The Special Scheme applies to many second-hand silver coins and bars that the dealer has purchased from private individuals.

Please Note : The Special Scheme does not apply to investment gold bullion, as this is already VAT-exempt in the UK.
