There is still a lot of confusion around secondary market and the primary market. Secondary market concerns all of us, and even dealers, and vat is not a factor. The reason is the second hand vat scheme. You do not automatically lose vat when you buy from or sell to a dealer. You lose whatever the difference in dealers sell/ buy prices and secondary market prices. Ignore vat. Dealers can afford to buy silver at any price below the price they sell at. They do not add on 20% to the whole! They only pay vat on their profit. They could buy your ounce at £22 and sell at £22.25, paying only 5p vat. Don't assume any vat registered dealer can only pay spot. Most pay more. The secondary market has over the past two years been heavily eroded by a small number of people steadily or sometimes dramatically undercutting everyone else, which has led to premiums on 2nd hand silver being reduced approximately to parity with USA and other silver vat free countries, I.e less than spot plus vat. It only affects big dealers selling Virgin silver with 20% vat on the whole price in the sense that low secondary market prices will knock demand for dealers' higher priced silver. The price of new silver from dealers will be determined by factors far bigger than the secondary market going rates. Cost of mining, refining, electricity, shipping, waste recovery etc etc etc. All of these factors are opaque and will have an influence on spot. The price of an ounce to a big dealer (who will have multi million £ annual contracts with mints and refiners) could be as little as spot plus 1% for all we know. Or why not even less? They add their margin and 20% on the whole. Their margin will be dictated by whatever their customers will pay but everything else is affected by macro factors. So £25.50 or any other price that we think is "right" will only happen if there are no people able or cunning enough to source silver cheaper and able to undercut everyone else. Just cause spot has gone up one can't assume the secondary market will automatically adjust. Though I bloody hope it will as I am still seeing ounces only selling if prices are less than £23. Fine for buyers I guess. But eventually I assume every buyer becomes a seller, right?

Thank you, it's yours

I still have 2 sovereigns at £421 each (99% of spot) 1/20th ounce Maple at £93 2002 and 2005 sealed half sovereigns at £230 ea

Have you checked the weight? Details seem good to me but I have seen weird defects on fakes

It's an odd one! I don't think that's deliberately made. It's not a ding either as there is no distortion of the details around the notch. If the notch had been bright, I might suspect an unfortunate encounter with an angle grinder. Not really, but a abrasive corner of some description.

I can't. I just have glasses.

The later "BU" ones were different from bullion and more resembled proofs than bullion. This term was used for SOTD sovereigns. Not sure about 2012. Marsh mentions the strike on the day BU ones separately but doesn't mention 2012 in these. What I find most puzzling is NGCs MS DPL designation for 2012 quarter. This is the correct designation for the SOTD sovereigns (but are often incorrectly labelled PF UC. So what are these DPL 2012 quarters? And do they look more like bullion or proofs? Anyone with a graded MS 2012 quarter here?

Try Nigel at https://philatelicheritage.co.uk/ He has some 20 francs on his website at £375 but will likely be amenable to meeting your budget by phone. Mention that I referred you.
