Very unlikely I would say!

[Spark268]

What are the best 1oz platinum coins or bars deals online in the UK right now apart from The Royal Mint?

Any offline shops open in West Midlands now that has the best platinum deals? When buying from brick & mortar shops do you need to bring documentation or ID?

Any time i've bought in person ID has been required. Money laundering regs most lightly. @ChardsCoinandBullionDealerwould give you a definitive answer being one of those bricks n mortar shops.

So if I bought lets say just 1 silver oz coin at the shop I'm required to show my life history to prove I'm not a drug dealer lol?

So at what shopping total max figure before VAT where a customer can spend without being asked for documents?

I was thinking platinum purchases of a few hundred £ .

1oz of silver is sweetie and jaffa cake money really.

For "Investment Gold", almost always yes, one exception being from small non-VAT registered dealers.

For platinum, silver, etc, no, unless you are or might be spending £5,000 or more, or £10,000  in any 12 month period.

It is not a big deal, you don't get reported unless you raise suspicions. 🙂

The Royal Mint would be unlikely to get included in any list of  1oz platinum coins or bars deals.

Can't think of any good dealers in the midlands.

Nearest is Blackpool, I reckon. 🙂

I am not sure what an offline shop is, we try to be online 24/7, who isn't?

Our showroom is only open M-F 10.00 - 4.30 though, and currently only by appointment.

So for example lets say if I walk in dealer with my adidas hoody on wearing a 50k rolex lol, with my debit card with 10k in my bank account and buy 10k worth of silver/platinum bullion on my debit card then the dealer will report me to the taxman after me buying and leaving the dealer shop 😆? All bullion dealers have been trained by their HMRC Taxman boss on how to identify a drug dealer 😂?

Does the dealer has the right to lose business/profit resulting from declining transactions or not doing business with pimped up looking drug dealers lol?

I mean a brick & mortar actual shop where a customer can simply walk into and buy. Or is it nowadays that you have to bring your life history documents with you to prove who you are and account every transaction since birth like a mortgage appointment is at a bank to see whether your approved to buy bullion these days?

If you looked that that, we might not even let yout in!

It would be more productive to train them to spot bankers from Wachovia, Standard Chartered, Danske, BCCI, HSBC, or any one of many others, or the Island state of Nauru.

Yes, and probably a legal and moral obligation too.

🙂

An example a banker gave me was if they had a customer with a sandwich shop, who regularly took payments of, say £30 each, the banker should be curious and try to check whether these were for legitimate business transactions, perhaps a regular office lunch delivery, or was somethng dodgy such as a different kind of wrap being sold under the counter, If in doubt, it should be reported, otherwise the bank employee could face criminal charges.

From an earlier answer:

For platinum, silver, etc, no, unless you are or might be spending £5,000 or more, or £10,000  in any 12 month period.

... and yes we are also Bricks and Mortar (actually more steel, concrete, and cladding).

As I understand it, there is no legal obligation to take ID for selling a couple of gold Sovs to Joe Public, or anything below £5,000.

It depends on exact circumstances.

For most private individuals, that's correct.

For VAT registered dealers, no! 

Any VAT registered dealers who are also dealers in "Investment Gold", I.D. is a strict legal requirement.

There are also A.M.L. (Anti Money Laundering) regulations to consider.

The whole subject is quite detailed and complicated, and there are a number of common misunderstandings.

There is more here:

https://www.chards.co.uk/blog/acceptable-forms-of-id/413

and on a few other pages of the Chards website.

I hope this helps.

Honestly, your own explanation was clearer and more succinct than your page's! It says "you may be required" and then went on to cover every scenario, all of which required ID, without telling us when it's not required. I think most people on this forum are Joe Publics who don't deal (although I hope none of us walks the streets with Adidas hoodies!).

Thanks,

I share the frustration that some of our pages are not as clear, concise, or accurate as I would like them.

One alternative would be to go back to me writing all of them, along with 12 hours days, and spending even less time working with actual coins and people.

Another would be more and better training and education, but don't tell anyone at @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer I said that! 😎
