Hey guys! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

Anybody knows where to find shops to buy and sell gold and silver ?

You can also try http://www.guldcentralen.se/ which is probably the most reputable one.

Yeah it looks good, just make sure you pick the right sized bars. The nasty thing about the Boliden ones is that although they are only half a liter in volume (a can of beer basically), they weigh 12,5kg. It gets really tiring to shuffle them around when you move to another location or want to clean up your place.

Well you could also ship silver and gold from Esthonia to a chosen location. https://www.libertysilver.ee/se/

Bought silver for ca 50000 kr so I do have some tips of where to buy from.

Also check this site out: http://www.silber-werte.de/

The main difference between these two sites are that the Swedish company located in Esthonia is much cheaper then the one located in Germany.

Can you actually quantify this? The prices for 1oz coins are practically the same, see below. I left out the Maple since the Germans only have some limited edition ones and the Panda since they seem to be in less demand:

Germany:

Philharmonic - 25,74e
Eagle - 26,12e

Estonia:

Philharmonic - 25,42e
Eagle - 26,00e

Interesting topic...

Are you all silver / gold bulls? Just wondering how many of us are on this forum =)

a good place that I use is www.coininvestdirect.com, they are based in Germany and can ship to most places. They are also very well priced (tracks gold and silver prices) and give free delivery on larger orders!

Although it may only be slightly cheaper, if you intend to buy a lot then it all adds up and helps with the average prices of your horde (or whatever you want to call it).

You can also pick it up in Germany and only pay 7% VAT. As long as you keep the invoice and maybe inform the authorities, this is the only VAT you have to pay as you've already paid in an EU country. Alternatively you can arrange a courier yourself to pick up the gold / silver and deliver it to you (see http://www.coininvestdirect.com/en/order_c...n_germany.html).

This may be more hassle, but it can save you quite a bit (obviously only really worth doing if you're buying quite large amounts!).

There ain't any VAT on silver and gold in Estonia.

So... ?

The prices quoted by the German site are inclusive of VAT, so ex-VAT they are way cheaper than the Estonian site if the Estonian prices are indeed VAT 0%.

It depends how much you're buying. If you look at the two sites you'll see that the company located in Estonia is cheaper if you buy more then 499 coins - it differs if you have that of money. Also I've seen prices down to 213 - 215 per coin whilst the price on the German site is much more stable, one reason is that it always includes VAT; something the Swedish company in Estonia doesn't.

I've bought several times from the German precious metals dealer and never seen any large price variations likes the ones you can see at the Swedish precious metals dealer in Estonia.
I've done the same calculations as you and come to the different conclusion that one is much more likely to find better prices at the Swedish site more often then at the German site. Like yesterday I saw prices in this order: 218 - 214 - 212; whilst the German site where more closely to 225, VAT exluded. That's a difference.

Also it's easier to fetch the coins yourself in Estonia, at least that's my opinion, because of the price to travel to Estonia is lower then if you're about to travel to Germany. If I remember it correctly: the reason why you wish to travel and fetch the coins yourself is to avoid to follow regulations, when you buy above a certain sum, and declare your precious metals purchase to the government.

@ PDX : I think I will rent a safe deposit. The safest place unless the bank got robbed or the government started confiscating gold and silver from the people.

@viper: I just started exploring it. I still need a lot to learn but I know it is easier than any. After reading a lot about investments and protecting future values, I concluded physical gold and silver is the best method (besides real estates). I also plan to invest in precious metal stock market to diversify.

I have couple of questions:

Do I have to pay capital gains when I cash my gold and silver in Sweden?

Why there are 1/4 , 1/2, 1/10 oz coins in the market? Why people buy those?

On what do you base your decision upon purchasing Maple, Panda, Bar ?

Thanks!

Could be handy when you will have to pay for bread with your gold coins
