Domo

Had this fantastic 2021 1oz silver libertad delivered today from @Domo. He was kind enough to reach out after noticing I was on the look out for one and I'm pleased as punch to have another matching silver to pair up with a 1/10th. 7 more to go to finish the set. 

I bought this HALF! sovereign today. First item in a mini sovereign collection I'm planning. 
Could I ask for your opinion on its condition and value please? 

TSF PM Prices Ticker   I received this today but have absolutely no idea what the real price was.

Libertad Joys and a Mexican Gold Colossus Libertad Proof 2018 & 2019 Silver Sets - outrageously lucky to get these - courtesy of@Darr3nG 2019 Silver 4oz+ Libertad Coinbar - Rarissimo - another great find c/o@DHD2020 Walnut Veneer Libertad Box - Restoration Project - from@morezone Monolithic Gold Dos Pesos - "size of that bugger" - always a pleasure@Domo  

Got my Libertad fix thanks to @Domo& @Darr3nG. Now I see what all the hype is about with this design 😍

A far too late today I received,
but all good things come in three’s I’ve heard,
first of all a stunning 1858 gold 10 francs and a 1/10 philharmonica with thanks to @Domo 
secondly a beautiful 1894 old head Victoria sovereign from sharps and pickley,
then last but no means least a 1/4 oz Gold 2015 brittania from Hatton garden metals. 
 
very happy with the end golden result  

Is the woman Una Stubbs....?
I'll get my coat..... Taxi!

This post is designed to help those members in the UK who are buying gold from other members, either importing from the EU to the UK or from outside the EU to the UK

There are a lot of gold coins that are considered investment gold and therefore VAT exempt. There may therefore be opportunities for UK members to buy from the EU or other markets.
 
Using a Sovereign as an example, our understanding of the definition "is of a description of coin that is normally sold at a price that does not exceed 180% of the open market value of the gold contained in the coin" from information taken from UK dealers is that any sovereign, even those that sell for 10's of thousands of pounds do not attract any import VAT as a sovereign in general sells for not more than 180% of the spot price of gold.

The full information on what gold coins and type of other investment gold except can be found from the following link: 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/investment-gold-coins-and-vat-notice-70121a

Please also note that members may have experienced VAT incorrectly being added to gold imports into the UK, due to the description used by the sender. If VAT is incorrectly added you can usually claim back the full VAT (I have done this myself) however the courier admin charge (around £8 Royal Mail, and around £11 for other couriers like UPS, is not always claimable back, this depends on the reason why the incorrect VAT was applied) 

This post is correct as far as our knowledge at the time of writing. It should not be constituted as legal or tax advise, members have the responsibility to do their own research and speak with any necessary advisers. TSF can not be held liable for any incorrect VAT that is applied by HMRC or any other import or taxes that are charged due to any purchases by members whatsoever. 

Please check the government website, or start a topic in the discussion area of the forum if you would like to ask members questions and hopefully the TSF community can help. There are likely a lot of members who have experience of buying gold from abroad and can help   


Items are listed in the regions they are located in. So UK members wishing to see items available internationally please see some of the below sections:

See the items listed in the EU trade section, lots of members will ship to UK

See the items listed in the USA & Canada section, many members are also willing to ship worldwide.

First piece of gold that isn't a sovereign courtesy of @Domo Really pleased with it.

Finally made it home after 2 weeks out in truck.
First of a few to come..
I give you the Platinum Queen's Beast Griffin.
 
Think was @Domo was asking what sovereign capsule I used the other day 

Another fine haul for me. A trio of Austrians and an Onza from @Panda6Pack. And a nice mix of year date britannia's, royal crest, full tube of 2919, the last missing Queen's Beast (Falcon) and a few maples from @Domo
 
Cheers guys 👍😁

Just received this morning next day delivery from @Domo delighted 👍 thanks for a simple transaction 

A couple of bullion coins at spot.  Bullion is a refreshing change for me. Something I can fondle! 1oz 2014 Eagle from @goluckystayhappy and a lovely 1910 sovereign from @Domo which looks a beaut to my untrained eye. Thanks both! Thanks too are due to @Oldun for his words of wisdom
