Gold coins - buying

Sovereigns or Britannias?


Note: It makes no sense if you are a UK tax payer to buy Krugs or any other non-UK gold coin as there is no CGT to pay on legal tender coins.

Ho hum - looks like it's time to start selling then. It was good whilst it lasted.

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.

If what you say is true, then you already know the answer, which begs the question 'why then, would you bother asking on here?'. But of course, that's another question to which the answer is already known.

I don't know the answer to the question of whether the Sovereign or the Britannia is a better coin to hold long term.

FFS.

Forget it.

I don't have an opinion other than do your own research.
