Thank you for your informative post @NGMD

I was looking at the same products to order directly from the Perth Mint too 😂 but I decided to hold for now. 

This gives me confidence now when purchasing anything in future directly from the Perth Mint. 
 

100 times better than RM!

As per my experience before, Perth Mint quality is in general better than Royal Mint, especially the coin is most likely problem free.  Also, some of their designs are very good, like Swan, Eagle, Kookaburra etc.

How did you send money to them - bank transfers seem likely to get you shafted on the F/X rates.

The Sovereign is the quintessentially British coin.  It has a German queen on the front, an Italian waiter on the back, and half of them were made in Australia.

Same as you would with any dealer in the U.K.- debit, credit or transfer. 
I’m not smart enough to tell you the rate- just the complete cost overall.

@NGMD great to know the costs associated with importing - thanks for the post sir. Lovely pieces of shiny👌🏽 

@Silverlocks you could always use Revolut or similar, exchange GBP to AUS$ and pay via bank transfer/ debit card if you worry about any hidden charges by the high street banks

Just an update on the Perth Mint. There are items on the website which says ‘restricted’ and you cannot buy, this is because Bullion products cannot be exported outside of Australia because of distributor agreements. I rang them up to ask the question because I wanted to buy the new Dragon 1oz Gold Bar in Assay.

It is also worth mentioning that on bigger purchases they require you to send (through a secure link) Driving License with name, address, signature and proof on your Banking Ap of the transaction to the Perth Mint. Obviously I thought that was dodgy, and rung them up to confirm.
