Gold coins - buying

[OwlHoot]

I already have gold in BullionVault, but want to diversify my gold holding away from pure "paper" gold to physical gold and avoid CGT on any future rises.

If gold crashes or falls, I'll take that risk. But a crash in gold means the world's financial worries have all magically vanished and people have faith in paper money again.

So, back to the question, does it matter if I buy Sovs or Brits?

PS. Now it remember why I don't bother with CUK anymore. About as much use as a chocolate teapot. Back to some useful forums for me with a few intelligent people on there.

Perhaps you could try doubloons

And pay CGT on any price increase.

FFS, read the thread.

Sovereigns or Britannias?

The sovereign is 22.05mm in diameter, which is ideal for most people, but if you have large hands with exceptionally chubby fingers the 40mm Britannia is what you need.

Best to borrow Threaded's time machine. Go back to 2003 and buy it when Brown was selling it for $300 / oz?


For a SHTF situation, sovs are probably better being smaller in value if you have to spend them. On the other hand, bid/offer spread is better on the larger coins.
