More from the point that the quarter sovereign being discussed is not a coin as such so its got no face value. Not doubting the gold content.

The Royal Mint do not hold any rights over the name “sovereign” so any company can produce a round called a sovereign.

Although the actual sovereign has no face value and that's considered a coin?

[Mysstree]

A Royal Mint produced Sovereign has a face value of a pound, the quarter sovereign has a face value of 25p.

Obviously no one is going to try and buy something from a pound shop with a Sovereign unless they are an idiot, but technically its legal tender is £1. i do believe thats how VAT and CGT are not applied?

You could not buy anything with the quarter sovereign under discussion as its not legal tender.

I would guess that were you to sell this to a bullion dealer you would only get spot or under.

It is legal tender in Gibraltar. That doesn't make it not a coin.

Gold is VAT exempt regardless of where it's from and CGT status.

Most seasoned Gold investors are probably aware of the CGT (in terms of Royal Mint vs others). When it comes to non-Royal Mint we (myself and @FriedrichVonHayek in this case) purchased because it's a bargain. If it was a larger investment (1oz for example) I would probably focus more towards a CGT free product. But when it's a bargain - that's below spot + free delivery - it's more of a "why not" purchase. When it comes to selling non-CGT-free items, I would ensure the financial year's allowance concerned doesn't go above the limit. e.g. if selling some PMs this financial year, I'd sell the non tax free items up to a profit of 3k (current allowance) then move on to the CGT free items so there's no tax on both CGT free and non-CGT-free items

I have used the PayPal 3 month payment thing of 3 monthly payments of £72.

Any problems and I can set PayPal on them.

Those guys can get sh*t done.

Me too 😬

I'll look forward to pressing the "block" button if they call me 😊

I have a second pay as you go mobile number and  email just for this type of buys.  If that numbers rings, I just don't bother after I have had my goods.

Sometimes blocking a spammers number doesn't work (they call from different numbers). So they soon stop when I wind them up. 

Accident compensation: "I had a boob job but instead they removed my left toe so now I only have 9 toes and still want bigger boobs" (they never called again)

Mobile phone providers who sometimes won't stop no matter how many times I tell them I'm not interested: "Herro? Herrrroooowwwww? Sorry? Sorry? Can I have a pound of sausages please? Sorry? Is that you Michael? I love you. Sorry? Herrow? Pickled Onions" (they soon give up if you act weird enough).

Or the good old "Are you aware this number is registered with TPS? It's illegal to call me" (8/10 apologise profusely and don't bother again. 2/10 will still try).

I think below spot and free delivery makes it a steal  

Max purchase of one. They also have the Team GB one available:

The Official Team GB Brilliant Uncirculated Gold Quarter Sovereign - Shop - The London Mint Office

 

This one isn't working for me, "a problem adding to basket"

They must have sold out. Just blame @James32. 9/10 times anyone misses out on anything, it's usually his fault.

Showing as "medium" availability, whatever that means. Possibly that I need to make contact with 'the other side' to obtain one?

I've just tried. Wouldn't let me add (probably because I ordered mine yesterday). But then I logged out. It let me add. So perhaps register with a different email, wink wink (although they may recognise your address if you have ordered from them before so it may not work)

[Spyder]

I have put two in my basket and are allowing me to check out. I have no interest in them

Got it now. Tried logging out and in again, but this time did a password change too, and it worked. Go figure. I think my Dad might get a couple more now, he just won't know about it...

At £436 for a full Sov equivalent in four quarters I'm deffo interested!
Current spot for a quarter sov is £114.80p, these are £6.80 less, including post.
