Investing in bullion \u2013 An overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold is typically considered a safe-haven, with comparatively steady prices during times of economic instability. Silver, on the other hand, is a less stable market, and so whilst investments in silver do generally carry more risk, they also offer the potential for high returns.<\/p>\n

Whichever precious metal you\u2019re looking at, the decision on whether to buy bars, coins or rounds<\/a> often comes down to personal requirements. If you\u2019re making a large investment that you\u2019re confident you won\u2019t need access to in the near future, large bars may be the best way to go as they incur smaller fashion fees (premiums added to cover the cost of packaging and production).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in flexibility and predict that you may need to quickly release some of the capital you have invested in bullion in an emergency, then smaller bars<\/a> or coins would be more suitable.<\/p>\n

One of the main rewards of investing in bullion is that it is, in most cases, exempt from VAT. The added benefit to investing in bullion coins is that they are also exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT).<\/p>\n

Capital Gains Tax-free bullion coins<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be CGT-free, bullion coins must have been minted after 1800 and have a purity of at least .900. They should be, or have been, legal tender in their country of origin and be normally sold at a price that does not exceed 180 per cent of the face value of gold contained in the coin.<\/p>\n

The best gold coins to buy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Royal Mint, the UK\u2019s producer and distributor of coins and one of the world\u2019s leading export mints, produce investment bullion coins which have a face value and are therefore considered legal tender.<\/p>\n

Their Sovereign and Britannia bullion coins are exempt from CGT and VAT and are generally considered to be among some of the best gold coins to buy worldwide.<\/p>\n

The Royal Mint are celebrating the 200th<\/sup> anniversary of the modern Sovereign<\/a> this year, which has been minted in the same weight and fineness since 1817, only changing in design.<\/p>\n

Britannia bullion coins<\/a> are another great option, featuring designs portraying Britannia herself, the female personification of Britain and \u2018a symbol of optimism\u2019 that embodies the changing ideals and values of Britain throughout history.<\/p>\n

The best place to buy gold coins<\/strong><\/p>\n
