    TringSilver got a reaction from Alex944 in Silver from Europe to UK after brexit   
    Not sure of the legalities but I'd happily accept a nicely wrapped up tube or two as an Xmas gift fro your relatives who didn't realise there would be tax implications!

    TringSilver reacted to Bimetallic in Capsuals or Tubes? Your preference?   
    Is "capsuals" some sort of Royalist English spelling? Here in the Land of the Free it's capsules.
    We use Ziploc snack bags for loose ounces. Capsules are a needless waste of money for silver bullion. The thing silver needs protection from is the air, especially the sulfur in the air which causes tarnish. You just need a decent seal, and so far a Ziploc bag serves well. I've never had any tarnish with them.
    Capsules don't do anything useful unless you want to throw the coins at walls or something that requires impact resistance.
    Tubes are for tubes, meaning 20 or 25 coins or rounds, depending on the mint. They're free when you order those quantities, and they prevent tarnish so they're great. I almost always order tube quantities because retail silver premiums are too high on small quantities.
    There's no significant scratching because the tubes aren't being filled piecemeal – they come already full, so there shouldn't be any messing around with coins going in and coming out.
    To make money on retail silver, what a lot of you call "physical", you need to be very disciplined about costs. Or even if you just don't want to lose money, you need to be disciplined. Lots of people lose lots of money on retail silver bullion. A good way to lose money is to buy piecemeal, one ounce here and there, small quantities. And then to buy fancy capsules, antitarnish strips, etc. You really shouldn't buy anything but the silver – your margins are too precarious already with the premiums. For knee-benders in the UK you're already in a hole because of your VAT tax on investment precious metals. Until you people do something about that VAT, contact your reps, etc. there's just no margin for stuff like capsules. Just buy tubes and don't pay VAT and you have a fighting chance of profiting.

    Hi
    Sign up to become and member and you will see the for sale posts 3 days earlier. 
    As I was going to say that morezone has listed loads of them today and at good prices.
    Otherwise, most of the usual dealers do seem to stock them.

    I've checked all my usual go to dealers in the UK for this Kook and i can find one that even has a listing. Platinum is just so damn difficult to collect in the UK between dealers not getting any, VAT and import charges.

    A few thoughts from me….
    I would upgrade your membership to benefit from from the comparison tool on this site.
    If you are after bullion and are flexible with what you purchase I would start with the forum and then look at dealers.
    Personally, I don’t go with the cheapest just to save a couple of quid, customer service / support is just as important for me.
    Best
