I also placed an order and guess what the website crashed at payment. The payment has appeared on my credit card and has cleared. On my H&B account it says complete so I am expecting the Sovereign to be delivered. I certainly can't be bothered ringing them and then being pitched too to how fabulous their proofs are.

Harrington & Byrne now doing their gold sovereign for £329. Doesn't seem like that good of a deal considering gold has dropped so much but these would have been snapped up a month ago.

When gold was at its peak around August/September 2020 ish sovereigns were selling on the trade section here for around £350 mark for bullion. There hasn't been many for sale since the gold price dropped recently.

And there's some still up for sale here with higher prices than most dealers. 

Dealers have been forced to lower their prices, private sellers have not and want top dollar

Sovereigns all the way baby!!!!!!!

Probably after new customers rather than us lot who keeping buying their bullion instead of their overpriced proofs

I see you've been busy on the freetrade forum 😏

Haha yes. My second favourite place to hang out after the Silver Forum. Always good to diversify your portfolio from precious metals

If only I had a crystall ball I would know whether to buy now or wait but I think it will come in around £1500 so will carry on  buying monthly.

Why is there no VAT to pay on investment gold?

The European Union voted in 1999 to abolish VAT on investment gold. Many countries offered minimal levels of VAT as an incentive to buy in their nation. The UK, which did charge VAT, was losing out because of this, as were other nations. To combat this disparity the EU moved make Europe an equal playing field and scrap VAT on investment gold. This change came into effect on January 1st, 2000.

Gold was VAT free in the UK until 1973, so a return to this state isn't too big a change, but it does occasionally frustrate people due to the fact other precious metal investment bullion isn't exempt.

Who is willing to take a punt and be lumbered with a lunar coin when they really want Queens Beast or Gold Standard 😉

Thanks @arshimo2012 always first class service and quality coins

And the big brother to go with his little sister 007 from @SilverTraderthanks 

How come when I take a photo of a coin they don't look as stunning as these pics 😑

Or wait until the 1st Jan, not that long away now. Hopefully the offer will last a few more weeks.

I was hoping they would reduce the half sovereign 

Spot gold Sovereign would be £320 as price of gold has considerably dropped. We are seeing many dealers reducing their prices. Dealers are now tending to be cheaper than those trying sell on the Silver Forum expecting to get last couple of months prices for them.

Thats a great goal. Well done! Whats your average cost per oz on that???

Sehr schön!
