[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2078089, member: 71234"]Not if you buy anything in legal tender form. Britannias or pre 47 silver coins. The cheapest way is to go to an antiques auction, and buy silver items by weight. You will need to calculate the correct top bid allowing for buyer's premium, but the dealers will mostly drop out at the price they'd pay for scrap over the counter, so one more bid should do it, you'd not be unsuccessful always at 5% over spot. Quite often you can get a handsome but unfashionable silver item that is not only a good chunk of PM but is also good around the house. Just about all the silver I have is also useful or decorative as something other than a paperweight. Also sales between non VAT registered parties are VAT free, so you can go to a coin fair and buy off of most of the dealers without VAT getting involved.[/QUOTE]
