Silver To Go

[Scuzzle]

Been browsing the forum and noticed Silver to Go as being recommended as a silver supplier to the UK with a low price and lower or no tax but I have a couple of questions which are

 

1. are the coins new and uncirculated, thinking of buying 20-25 2015 Britannia to begin with.

2. is there a certificate of authenticity or just a receipt, I notice the 1 kg coins specifically say they don't come with one but the smaller coins don't say anything.

3. are they legit enough to pay directly form my bank or am I better adding the safety of a credit card and taking the hit on the added 2% surcharge.

 

Think that's about it thanks.

coins are uncirculated. no coa unless specifically stated as

having one eg noahs ark. credit card payment provides

additional protection, this decision should be down to personal

judgment.

In order....

1. Unless it says used, they are all new.

2. Only a cert if the coin comes with one from the mint.

3. Very legit.

Hope that helps.

I've always paid by bank transfer with no problems

Absolutely no problems with StG, a pleasure to buy from.

I have used STG in the past no problems whatsoever.  

I have recommended them to several friends who stack and all report good things

 

I was a little worried ordering from Germany initially, my first order came quicker than some orders i have placed with UK bullion dealers

 

 

• Exceptionally well price product
• UK based business bank a/c so no need to transfer to Euros or loose out on bad exchange rates
• Almost VAT free price, thanks to the german margin scheme
• Excellent customer support
• Superior packing 
• Super reasonable postage/courier charge.  No real difference from a UK dealer
• Super clear & accurate invoices for record keeping

 

Perfect company to deal with in my eyes 10/10 A+

Very legit - they are a site sponsor with their own sub-forum for questions and general news. Livia from STG posts here and can be contacted direct via private message.

ordered from them twice and paid with direct bank transfer. brilliant service and good packaging.

 

don't worry about them ripping you off. they wont.

Thanks guys, makes me feel a lot better about my imminent purchase.

[rob121]

out of interest (if you don't mind sharing) what coins you getting?

[Scuzzle]

Was thinking of getting at least 25x possibly even 50x silver Brittanias

The more the merrier.

Yeah, the plan is to tuck away UK Britannias in bulk for as long as it takes and buy and sell other coins in small quantities over shorter periods of time.

[rob121]

nice!, does Britannia's stick with the same design and what are the mintages like?

Yes, same design on BU nowadays.

Mintages are hard to come by, and unlimited.

If I was stacking multiples, it would probably not be britannias.

I'm not sure, I hear this is the last year of the current Queens head portrait so that might count for something in the years to come.

Only time will tell buddy.

What is the general opinion when buying coins, I saw a recommendation that you are best to stick with your country of origin for the bulk of your stock holding but are you better mixing it up with foreign coins, is there an opportunity to add profit with an appreciating coin combined with any benefits in a weak foreign currency exchange rate when it comes to buying and selling.

Personally I think it's best to stock up on 1oz perth lunars at the beginning of the year when they can be had for very little more than the bog standard bullion coins; ASE Maples Phils etc. They will increase in price as the years roll by, regardless of the change in spot (well to a certain degree baring exceptional changes).

I'm with Steve (not literally)

[rob121]

if you want my advice buy the Somali elephants off STG, they will go up in value over the Britannia's and are only 25p(ish) more expensive.  lunars have got the most potential but your paying a premium from the beginning. if you have enough money to buy 20 or 40 lunars then go for it. if not I suggest elephants

[Scuzzle]

This is why I signed up to this forum, for advice, it just does not feel right buying Somalian currency over something with the Queens head on it but if it's going to see more profit or a quicker profit then it has to be done.

[rob121]

I had the same feelings about Somalian currency but its all about what people are willing to pay in a couple of years. anyone can get a britania there so common are floating about all over England. tha elephant is well made and well known enough to sell straight away and are a lot rarer.

 

go on to ebay and see what two year elephants and Britannia's are selling for (dosent mean its going to do it in the future but a good way to compare any way)

[Scuzzle]

I saw the massive difference in price buying fro Silver to Go on everything, 2015 Silver Britannia is £13.58 where from UK bullion companies is £23 by the time the tax is included.  The elephant is £13.82 from STG and is around £20 on Ebay.

I take it the total you pay on Silver to Go is all you pay, there is no tax bill comes in a week later.
