dann - why you should buy gold sovereigns lyrics

at moneyweek, we’re long+standing fans of investing in gold. we think it’s a great way to provide insurance against any future financial crisis. or inflation. if you want a truly diversified portfolio, invest some of your assets in gold. granted, the gold price will move up and down in the future, but one day it will probably pass the inflation+adjusted high of $2,400/oz set in 1980. trouble is, if you’ve decided to invest in gold, you have a further decision to make. you’ve got to decide how you’re going to invest in gold

how should you invest in gold?

there are lots of diffеrent options. you could invest in a gold exchangе+traded fund (etf) a fund that does nothing but hold gold. or buy shares in gold+mining companies. or buy gold bars or coins. you could also choose to invest in semi+numismatic coins. these are coins that aren’t just valuable for their gold content. the coins also appeal to collectors who are interested in coins and banknotes

classic european and world gold coinage is an often overlooked, but extremely important sector in today’s gold market. these coins are rare which means they have more potential to appreciate in price yet, they can often be bought at bullion prices

crucially, you can also save tax by investing in gold. gold bullion and some gold coins are exempt from vat, whilst post+1837 british sovereigns and britannia coins are exempt from capital gains tax (cgt). that’s because these post+1837 sovereigns and britannias are legal tender

if you’re wondering which coins are exempt from vat, the rules are a little complex. if a coin is bought as a investment in gold bullion, then it should normally be exempt from vat. however, if a coin is sold for more than 180% of its gold+value content, it’s clearly attractive as a collector’s item and is then subject to vat

often the price of gold coins is slightly higher than modern gold bullion, but these coins offer many advantages. they’re often scarce, and can have aesthetic value as well as historical significance. when you look at semi+numismatic gold coins, the british gold sovereign (originally the one pound coin) is the most widely traded

there is constant and excellent liquidity in most countries in the world. for the investor looking for slight leverage to the gold price with the potential for the premium (numismatic value) to rise, british sovereigns are a good way to invest in gold

history of the gold sovereign

the first british gold buy sovereigns were minted more than 500 years ago. they were minted under tudor king henry vii in 1489. the current design type with saint george slaying a dragon on the reverse and the monarch on the front was introduced nearly 200 years ago in 1816 under george iii. the sovereign was minted almost continuously from that date until 1932 when britain went off the gold standard

british buy sovereign kings’ minted during the reigns of edward vii and george v are probably the most widely owned and recognised pre+1933 gold coins. in 1816, the british gold sovereign as we know it today was first introduced, and as the british empire expanded under queen victoria during the 1800s, this coin came to be the world’s most widely distributed gold coin

minted originally in london, the sovereign came to be minted all over the world as australia and south africa came to be large gold producers. mints in pretoria, bombay, ottawa, melbourne, sydney and perth minted thousands of sovereigns during the late 1800s and early 1900s

the design of saint george astride his brave steed, slaying the dragon, is common to the reverse of all variations of the coin

gold sovereigns: conclusion

it is estimated that only 1% of all gold sovereigns that have ever been minted are still in collectible condition. it is this relative rarity in relation to bullion coins and bars that leads to leverage whereby, in gold bull markets, the value of these coins increases by more that the actual price of gold

unlike paper investments or speculations, british gold sovereigns have a real and permanent tangible value. therefore, they offer two ways to build wealth. they can offer the best of bullion and numismatics in one investment. they contain the intrinsic security of bullion or precious metal in a pure form and can also offer additional profit potential due to their aesthetic and historical appeal
