A Cheaper Alternative....
If you have no preference over what type of coin you want and are just wanting to invest in silver, then we offer our choice of silver bullion coins, which have the lowest premiums.
Silver Bars
Silver bars are available in sizes of 1 gram up to 1 kilo (and sometimes 400oz / 12.4 kilos). The very small sizes are normally made only as collector or gift items. The most popular size of bar we sell are 1 kilo.
Second-hand Silver Bullion Coins
We occasionally buy in second hand silver coins which we are able to then offer on "special scheme". This means that as the coins have been bought from a private (non-VAT registered) seller, we are able to charge them without charging VAT on the total amount. Instead, the only VAT you pay is on the premium added to the coin. This makes second hand silver particularly appealing to investors.

It is possible to buy and sell silver on various commodity markets either for 'spot' or for various future dates. We do not offer commodity broking services.
Overseas Delivery
We do not have any offshore branches but we do have off shore storage. You can read more about our VAT free silver for storage here.
VAT Registration
If you are VAT registered, you could purchase silver and reclaim the VAT, however you would have to the VAT upon sale, neutralising the VAT element. We advise you to check and confirm this with your local VAT office before proceeding with this.
VAT Registered Company
VAT registered companies are able to claim back the VAT as above, but also need to recharge it upon sale. Any profits would belong to the company unless you have a contract between you and the company to hold and store the silver on your behalf. We would advise that you check and confirm this with your accountant or local tax office before proceeding.
