uk only, is shipping like from use not really expensive?

Try  Silver Trader based in North East England, great customer service. Prices are fair considering we have to pay VAT on our silver. Martin as has been said earlier is a good guy to deal with and he holds a good range of coins. A good place for a new UK stacker.

Yes 

but

1) you can buy and vault in the US

2) you can buy and bring back from holidays/business trips in the US

Buying a few coins definitely this Forum and you should pay the modest fee to become a Premium member as ALL the best bargains will have gone before you even see them.

If serious and buying say 50 ounces or more then GS. be and European Silver as you can avoid the 20% VAT.
Sometimes STG and CoinInvest have decent prices as well.
Shipping to the UK will typically cost around £25 so can be expensive for small orders but works out at only 50 pence per ounce if buying 50.
Avoid non EU countries as the fees can add up significantly.
Our opportunities of low VAT may be dwindling however due to Brexit so definitely buying through the forum would be best.
If we ever leave the EU then the opportunities for more forum sellers is very good because GS.be etc will no longer be attractive.
