malco Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 If you want to buy gold bullion coins then reputable dealers like Chard or Baird will supply them. There are a large variety. Krugerrands and Gold Eagles are probably the most internationally recognised, sovereigns a little less so. If you are in Britain then you may wish to focus on sovereigns and Britannias, since these are legal tender and not subject to capital gains tax. Or you can move your bullion offshore. The Pound's days are probably numbered though, for the same reason that the dollar's days are numbered, excessive unsecured debt and domestic energy supply depletion. I expect UK will join the Euro within 5 - 10 years, if they will have us, to avoid our currency dropping out of sight. Numismatic coins are more valuable than their gold content, and more interesting, and require greater knowledge to judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought professionaly grading was more of a US thing (PGCS, NGC), and have never seen a UK slabbed coin on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
