Yeah I read it more often that it's different in the UK buying precious metals. I recently bought two coins from the Spanish royal mint and these were not subjected to VAT it said, the price of the coins was the face value as well but I don't know if that's because I'm a resident..
!PIMP
I don't know how the offer is here compared to UK though, often I bump into coins I want and are just way too overpriced here or not even possible to buy. Or just at one store who is then sold out.. I noticed most coins offered from the Spanish mint (or at least most of them where I checked the details) were sterling rather than 0.999 silver..
Is that a thing there as well?

Oooo all ours on the bullion pages are .999 silver. Havnt seen any sterling yet, but I have only looked at bullion.
Makes sense to keep eye out on it though

Just checked the Spanish royal mint and saw this when selecting the items:
just a few are 999 as you can see.. by far most of them is sterling ..

That seems an odd choice as a starter. Maybe silver isn't as popular there?
I don't know if it was ever different because I just know what's on there from this year.. Can't say why as I never looked into it. I only bought 925 because the face value was exactly the same as the price so I figured worst case when I want to dump them, I spend them in the store, lol.
!PIMP there you go, a final pimp vote for your next weekly stats post :)
Makes sense if you guaranteed face value back. That's a no brainer really. I like it
I'm actually just writing the post now, as always 2 weeks late 🤣
