How is the quality on your Green Dragons? I bought 5 on release and all had scuff marks on the Queen's face and the Dragon's body from friction in the tubes.

I heard it's a common problem on this first release and many were even recalled.

Same for me ... only 1-2 don't have that marks on the Queen's face, I payed 21 euros for each, so I will keep them despide the marks.

Bullion is synonymous with poorer quality. They quite literally churn them out... ‘Bullion’ is a Numismatic Grade!

Most Bullion grade coins do not have these scuff marks. Look at the Queen's face. Just seems like a production error.

From Silber werte...

The mines look exactly like that.

Wish I'd known orientals came in capsules.. in any case can't kick myself about it since they were gone by the time I pulled the trigger 😅

Dragons came in sealed perth mint tube, and I'm fine with that since given the price they'll stay in the stack for the long run. Definitely a dealer to keep our collective eyes on.

I believe that you don't pay CGT on a house sale if it is your primary residence.

Sorry I meant investment property.

Mine also and yes they are a great dealer 🙂

My only criticism would be the ton of glossy coin brochures (in German) included in the package which now I have to carefully dispose of so as not to give anyone a clue that I might have PMs lol.

Use cross shredder.

Basically it only applies to second hand silver. VAT was already paid on the silver by the original buyer, so you just pay VAT on the profit above the buy price. Makes for good deals when they pop up, but quantities tend to be very limited. At least that's my rudimentary understand! 

Not at all, second hand silver deals will always be limited though by nature. A good deal will sell out quickly 🙂

Thanks.  That's really interesting.  It doesn't make any sense that we pay VAT on silver and not on gold.

cheers

Not from our perspective as we view it for its monetary properties. But the vast majority of silver is used for industrial purposes, unlike gold, so I can see why it’s taxable. Would be nice if it wasn’t though!

Riiiiight. That makes sense. I’m learning today👍🏼  I suppose that would also partly explain the difference between the long-term up-and-up price trend of gold Vs. the peaks and troughs silver, platinum and palladium; gold, for the most part is used as a means of concentrating and storing wealth whilst the rest get used in catalytic converters an industrial processes and the like, as you said. 
Anyway, cheers for the info. Really helpful.

They often say in times of decreased production Gold goes up in value while Silver goes down and then vise versa.

.... apart from now, it seems. I’m new to stacking, and it seems like one helluva stretch to be paying 50-100% over spot, unless there’s a    real collectible value to the item. (eg 24quid for a 1oz Britannia [gross] and spot being 10 quid less.... is there really a tenner’s worth of numismatic value in a regular Brit’??)

The same can be said if any investment. Why are people paying £25k for a Daytona, stainless steel no less, that costs £10k from the Authorised dealer? ... it is all about what people are willing to pay, and in the belief that silver is being bought up left right and centre... yes it’s being minded still... but look at loo roll! And paper I think is easier to get than silver... so will be high for a while yet maybe?

Considering the amount of posts here in the £17 range recently, I wouldn't think £24 is a viable price at all.

I'm new as well but if you do a bit of searching, a lot of the European sites are selling close to £20 (+p&p). Still seems quite high but you've got to start somewhere I suppose!

If you watch the trade section here you’ll see mint condition coins beat those prices. Worth an upgrade of membership fees for sure!

You'll get better prices on the forum if you're looking for silver.

If you're looking to buy now get a premium membership and keep watching.

Thanks for the advice! Do you have to be patient and act quickly to take advantage of these better prices on premium or are they quite regular? As a (new) non paying member I generally see prices on trade around £20-£23 which it seems people tend to pay.

You can pick up the Britannia's other generic silver for around £19.

Usually something once a day but you won't get to see it for 3 days if you don't have premium membership and that stage it's gone. Sometimes it's advertised and sold within seconds.

If you're spending over £100 it's well worth the basic membership for a month to see does it work for you.

You won't be waiting weeks/months for your coins unlike Europe.

Once a day, for sure. Tube of Britannia’s up no at £19 an Oz. Yesterday some silver was up for £18 something an Oz...

No brainer if you want to buy PM. You know that the sellers are good & the coins have been looked after. I have not had one problem with over 7-8 transactions in the last 2 weeks, but only bought from people that have a lot of good feedback.
