Britannia coins

I know they are 24ct and proper bullion, but are they worth buying over gold bars? I know about the CGT and face value etc.

Coins will theoretically be easier to sell on due to lower risk of them being counterfeit. In reality I'm not so sure this is a valid point as all coins and bars 1oz and below seem to move reasonably quickly on the Facebook groups and the silver forum.

Depends what you're after though. Sovereigns will be closest to spot price and very easy to sell when required.

I wouldn’t buy bars, mainly because of face value, sizes, CGT, fakes etc, so I’d say in my little world coins are a better bet for value due to easier resale.

Ie, would anyone here buy a 1kg bar, ever?

1/10th brits make more sense if you want high liquidity.

But I bought 1/4 Brit and sov. Tempted to swap sov to 1/4 Brit for superior face value.
