Gandhi wouldn’t look that great on a coin! The image is the national flower of India. Although, even if I could afford it I wouldn’t buy it!😮🤔

Considering his image is on every note in India i dont think thats the case!

As mentioned initiate small claims asap, leave negative google reviews and the small claims court will cause fear

What happened to those H+B sov deals used to be frequent?

£29oz isnt price cheaply given the issues with the coin

Thanks guys will test the water on here, usually get more on ebay so will keep as an option not in a rush to sell.  Managed to get this at spot from abroad many yrs back and still bullish on platinum long term but got a taste for luxury watches so gota free funds

Hi

i have a 1oz plat bar to list here and wondering what the current market price is?  I havent been watching pm prices for a long time so unsure if its worth the £1050 id hope?

thanks

Does anyone know when the next h+b offer will be?

Offer seems to have gone, does anyone know when the next H+B deal will be?

I never bought platina before but I want to get into it as an extra precious metal next to my gold and silver stack but what is bet to buy ? 

At Goldsilver.be I saw this nice Kookaburra 1/10 OZ coin for 128 euro (https://goldsilver.be/nl/home/4049-perth-mint-110-oz-platinum-kookaburra-2021-bu-15.html ) with a mintage of 15000 pieces or should I better go for a 1 ounce coin for around 1050-1100 euro with no limited mintage ?

I think the price difference is not so high in comparison with 1/10 golden coins, certainly not for a limited Kookaburra.

But I have no idea about the platina market so I have no Idea what to buy best ...

 

There is a lovely 1/10oz plat kook available on the forum currently  😜

Thanks seems way to much hassle and not beneficial for the buyer to buy from the uk.  Free trade is getting harder!

Apparently silver coins are not subject to vat in netherlands only bars.  But i dont know the ins and outs

Thanks so without mismarking it it appears it could be subject to customs and not fully insurable

Hi

i am looking to send 35oz of silver from the uk to netherlands via PO and have never posted to the EU.  does anyone know whether you can insure up to 1k, postage cost and if the other person would have to pay vat, i imagine this would depend on their local rules?

thanks

@Auggie

Can you not make a few journeys and carry the coins on you in a tube.  I have never had issues with tubes of silver in my luggage

What, 10% premium?

... and you have to calculate the premium for yourself, unlike more user friendly sites.

Nope if u click specification it gives you the premium

the customer service at HGM is quite good, although I was very disappointed in their 'Best Value Sovereigns'. I ordered 4, of which one had obviously been cleaned, and the other was slightly damaged.  This is compared to 10 brand new ones, when ordering the same product from BPB. 

 

Best value will also be BU/potentially cleaned with light marks.  Iv bought a lot from them in the past but nowadays they overprice some year sovs and generally are expensive

I have a 1/2oz 2007 gold eagle for sale £689 posted sd which i think is a good deal 😇

Or you can just work out pure weight * gold price per gram so 7.322g * 22ct g price

quick question from a newbie to the old dogs here... we got some money from family and we wanted to invest in a few 1oz... is this the best option. https://www.chards.co.uk/1-ounce-gold-coin/1oz-gold-bullion-coin/one-ounce-best-value/486 

3.1% premium plus post.  You can get slightly cheaper on the forums

I got a 50 peso recently stunning!  Id be concerned with the grade c as mines bu and condition just about ok to appreciate it.  Personally rather pay a few extra % for a better condition

Had a number of HB sovs before no issues, when you email not to send you junk it stops and never had phone calls.

they are usually spot + delivery so they will at least be breaking even 

Hi guys

just wondering if anyone has any experience claiming for a lost item sent SD?  It was for a private sale of a bar worth £200 which got lost, so i made a claim proving proof of postage, screenshots of the correspondence with the buyer and proof of value i found a similar priced item online and sent that weblink - even though i am only claiming for the amount received from the buyer.  

the claim was rejected and i was only refunded postage and customer service said i need to provide all evidence showing value.  Also i can attach my statement as payment was BT.  Obviously i dont have an invoice/paypal receipt as i purchased this a long time ago and also privately.  In this case what else can i provide to them? 
 

i thought this would be a black and white case but obviously they are trying to get out of paying. 

These h+b offers are always coming up every few weeks, they should have more soon

So you're consistently getting silver into the UK and avoiding 20% vat? What is the secret?😂

Many order from private dealers in canada but involves marking the parcel lower so for insurance purposes risk is on you.  Personally had 10 parcels delivered no problems worked out 23£ oz after post
