Another interesting and informative video from Lawrence Chard. Always tells us the very essence of whatever chosen subject he selects. Always packed with useful information and delivered in a relaxed and professional style. Round of applause for the man in the stripey shirt.
Hi Lawrence some great information on buying costs % for comparison what are your buying in % costs i realise for investment were looking long term but no one seems to give any clarity
Exactly what I needed seemed like no nonsense realistic advice. I am interested in the lowest premium spot price Britannias and Sovereigns. If buying newly minted with the slightly higher premium do they come in a plastic sleeve or do you provide capsules as I want some to give as gifts to encourage investing. If they were VAT free 100 silver Britannia’s would be a lovely thing to start silver investing.
Hello Lawrence, I am relatively new to coins etc and this question might seem silly but I have not been able to find the answer by other means! Why are British standard hallmarks not used on Sovereign and Britannia coins? No doubt you will know and I would appreciate your views on the subject? Thank you. Regards.
Coins have never needed to be hallmarked, primarily because the designs on them are official stamps which already indicate or guarantee the prcious metal content. Coins have existed since about 350 B.C., well before hallmarking was introduced.
Tried to sell chards a proof double sovereign ,,never been touched ,in a case ,he had same for sale £1200 they offerd scrap price 😮,,i bet hes a millionaire.,
The key with coins over bars is that coins are capital gains tax free, i understand. That is a huge reason for buying bullion coins over bars? Maybe I missed that point in the video, but say you sold that sovereign from the sixties now, there is no capital gains tax to pay. With an equivalent bar lots of your profit goes to hmrc ?
There is no "right" or "wrong". For a big investor it makes sense to consider the CGT liability. If you are unlikely to get hit with a big CGT bill, then stack what you enjoy owning, and don't worry too much about a potential eventual tax charge.
Thanks Lawrence for info .I start buying silver coins lots of maples , eagles ,Austrian Philharmonic and Britannia British. But in avent of currency collapse they say to buy things its got to be silver coin of your country .am I in good possession possession of other country's coin or should I swop all for brit britanias ?
I would not advise swapping, as there will be extra cost involved. Enjoy owining what coins you have already bought, but think about UK stuff in future. As Isay though, if you wish to invest, rather than collect, I advise gold because there is no VAT to pay on it, unlike silver.
@@tntwentyone2951 If we are talking about gold, then our best sellers are one ounce Britannias, and sovereigns. When you say "buyers market", does that mean for us as buyers, or for people buying from us? As dealers we aim to keep our sales and purchases in approximate balance.
@@tntwentyone2951 I thought I had answered this earlier, but... I presume you were thinking about gold. One ounce gold coins are our biggest sellers, followed by sovereigns. Bigger investors would rightly avoid paying higher percentage premiums for smaller sizes. "Buyers market" Did you mean for us as buyers or for people buying from us?
On your website when purchasing you ask to distinguish between an individual or buying on behalf of a company. Can you explain the reasons why or what extra rules apply to company purchases ?
@@urbansombrero5976 Our Customer Service team could probably answer this better than me, but we are required to do all sorts of KYC (Know Your Customer) stuff, including AML (Anti Money Laundering). Our website should also have links which explain why.
I do say buy at the lowest % premium within reason. UK gold Britannias and sovereigns can all be bought at some of the lowest premiums, and are also example from Capital Gains Tax.

Thank you. I felt rather like a deck chair on Blackpool Promenade!
21:05 can't wait for part 2. You're a legend Laurence and what you don't know is not worth knowing as we say over here😉
Thanks, but do you know I am still learning!
Thanks for your professional knowledge.
Just joined, thanks for this informative vid...
i'm not in the UK but i found this very informative - many thanks
Hi Lawrence some great information on buying costs % for comparison what are your buying in % costs i realise for investment were looking long term but no one seems to give any clarity

You do seem to be the cheapest, along with Tavex in London. ❤
Tried to sell chards a proof double sovereign ,,never been touched ,in a case ,he had same for sale £1200 they offerd scrap price 😮,,i bet hes a millionaire.,
thats why i won't buy any proofs as the premiums are just high particularly as a straight investment bullion play

What!, no questions?
I don't see many items moving especially those above 1/2oz weight.
How has the buyers market been for Chards in the last couple of weeks?

What silver coins should UK people buy ?
Brittanias capital gains tax free
If it for investmnet then - GOLD ones! But if you are not worried about paying higher premiums and 20% VAT, then any UK ones.
1 oz Gold Britain's ❤🙏🏻
??? Did we make a typo / spelling error?
@@lawrencechard5914 I never had my glasses on...1 oz Britain's 😂

Has anyone ever had any issues with BBP 🧐 I wasn’t aware there was a chards near me or I’d have gone personally
When the shtf silver and gold won’t care what it has stamped on it. Buy the cheapest 1 oz gold you can get.

Won’t matter what’s printed on it you produce either in a shtf situation and see how fast your standing 😂😂😂
