Royal Mint vs Private Mint: Does it REALLY matter?
Right, listen up. For pure bullion stacking, honestly? Not as much as some make out. A gram of gold or an ounce of silver is just that, regardless of the mint. The *major* point for us UK stackers is the CGT exemption on Royal Mint Sovereigns and Britannias. That's a massive advantage, making them a default choice for many. For anything else, like bars, I'm purely looking at the lowest premium over spot. Private mints often win hands down there. Resale is straightforward for any reputable bar or coin. Focus on securing the metal at a good price, mate, not the brand, unless you're into numismatics.
