Gold coins
- Britannias, Sovereigns and other investment-grade coins. Investment gold is VAT-free, and UK legal tender coins are free of Capital Gains Tax for UK residents.
- Priced from what we paid for the coins, with lower prices when you buy 10 or more, and 25 or more. For 50 coins or more we quote personally.
- Tracked, fully insured delivery for £10 + VAT per order, or collect free from our Windsor office by appointment.
- The coins are yours to keep: there are no storage or management fees.
Fine wine
- Investment-grade wine from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Italy and beyond, with provenance checked before we buy.
- Bought in bond, so there is no duty or VAT to pay while the wine stays there.
- Held in your name at The Wine Tunnels (London City Bond), insured through Lloyd’s of London. Storage is charged by Wine Tunnels and paid to them directly.
- Take delivery whenever you like: we arrange release from bond, and duty, VAT and delivery are invoiced by Wine Tunnels.
