silver gilt coins

[ScroogeMcDuck]

Right, where to start. I'm new to stacking as some  on here have seen, and i'm a huge marvel fan and been collecting the 1oz silver coins.

so searching to see what other coins there are and I've come across this https://www.moderncoinmart.com/2017-tuvalu-5-2-oz-gilt-proof-silver-marvel-doctor-strange-gem-proof.html

what is silver gilt?

Is it a pure silver coin or just a cheap metal silver plated?

And does it hold the same value or more as silver.

I just want to know as curious if i'm buying real silver or just collector tat.

The coin you link to is 999 silver with a little gold plating to highlight some details.

A steep premium, buy it because you like it not in the hope it will increase in value.

 

Also if your in the UK and its coming from the US dont forget to add import duties + customs handling charges.

Yeah i guessed about the import duty. Going to look to see if any uk or eu stores stock them.

So they are a pure silver coin then.

If i go on holiday to the states ill see if i can pick up a few deals.
