I am drawn into acquiring a Pt coin at some time in the future but i need to find a source not adding the dreaded 20% VAT.

I may well be organising a group order from europeanmint in the near future to save on postage costs.

Thanks - a one ounce Maple is £800 and CoinInvest asking £986 so a 23% difference - VAT plus a bit saving ( pre- Brexit ).
However with bullion Pt coins ~13% above spot .
Need to keep a watch for "deals" and a Queen's Beast in Platinum would be nice.
