Gold Libertads & Pesos - North Carolina/Virginia - Recommendations Sought

[ShropshireTom]

I’m hoping for some shop recommendations and a steer on UK premiums for gold Pesos.

Bit of a long story, but this year I will have to sell my late Father's house in Virginia. Whilst most of the money will be sent back to the UK, I thought I’d take the opportunity to get a few coins whilst I will be in the US. My family are in Greensboro NC and I will be spending some time emptying the house in Virginia too. 
 

Google has supplied plenty of details of coin shops and Pawn shops, but I was wondering if anyone (either side of the pond) has any personal recommendations? Same goes for the US websites - of which there are plenty!

Finally, the gold libs seem as scarce in the US as they are in the UK, but the chunky 50 Pesos coins seem somewhat more readily available, what kind of premium do they carry in the UK? As always, I’m using as a store of value rather than trying to turn a profit, so I will likely have them for a while. I don’t mind paying a premium I will likely see back at sale time (spot price fluctuations aside) but don’t want to pay a US premium I’ll never see again in the UK.

I do like the Gold Eagles too, but Libs are a personal preference. I might get an ounce of Plat too if I can find an Eagle competitively priced.

Thanks in advance for any info provided. I will be carrying it on a plane so I also won’t be bringing back a huge haul.

I'd be more interested in finding out about inheritance tax and duties.

Sorry for your loss Tom and I don't mean to be negative but I think the US is very thorough concerning 'monies owed'?

I don't know the full story so take this with a pinch of salt 👍

Thanks Roy. Luckily for me my cousin is a tax lawyer in NC so it’s all already sorted for payment when the property sells. Interestingly, largely the tax bill is paid in the UK under some agreement to only tax inheritance once. However there are sales taxes etc to be paid.

If you are buying in the states I would be looking to stack up on the veinte pesos rather than the 50 pesos. You can get as many 50 pesos as you like here for no more than 5% premium and sometimes less but the veinte pesos are more like 25% premium.

At apmex the premiums are more balanced at 7% and 9%.

Gold eagles seem overpriced there as well at about 10% an ounce.

Thanks, I hadn’t even looked at the other denominations. Appreciated - I’ll start doing some research 👍🏻
