Buying Silver Coins Online
Purchasing silver bullion coins offers investors a flexible way of owning physical silver. The relatively low value, compared with gold, appeals to those who prefer more metal for their monetary investment, and the convenient unit size means they can easily be traded and handled by precious metal traders, private investors, banks and savings institutions. They are also more convenient to store, in contrast to the bulkier silver bars.
Silver coins will typically attract higher premiums than silver bars due to the higher production, handling and insurance costs. However, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can benefit from purchasing silver Britannia coins as their status as British legal tender means they are exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT). In this instance, the tax benefits may outweigh the additional premium. If you are also in the market for gold, perhaps you may like to browse our extensive selection of gold bars and gold coins.
