RE: EC 8 2019 Grenada & Montserrat Scottsdale mint
There are just so many amazing designs out there I've never seen. We are very limited to the basics over here in the UK - brittanias, maples, eagles, philharmonics.... Thats about it! E erything else carries a massive premium over spot.
I assume you get the Queens Beasts therefore at a pretty good price?
Not at all. Due to the lack of competition, we have very few places that sell silver, sellers already charge massive premiums. PLUS...... We have to pay a 20% Tax on top of the final price!
It's cheaper for me to buy my silver abroad and pay for international shipping, than buy it direct from the royal mint (which is less than 5 minutes from my doorstep)
that is crazy...
