Our Expert Opinion
The silver Eagle provides exceptional value combined with a global reputation for quality. The iconic Eagle design appeals to the world market especially being certified by the leading capitalist country known to man.
For investors, this means great value when purchasing and a strong bid for the coins when it comes to selling your silver. If you intend to buy a lot of silver, perhaps 500 coins or more, or add to your purchases regularly, then tax efficiency could be a consideration.
The non-UK silver coins are not exempt to Capital Gains Tax for UK investors. With an annual CGT allowance of around £12,000, the potential for huge gains with silver means this tax could apply to larger holdings. However, this can be overcome by selling your silver Eagles strategically in the future in tranches, so that no individual tax year receives all the gain.
Alternatively, mixing your silver Eagle purchases with Silver Britannias will rectify any possible tax issues. The UK coins are legal tender in the UK so are CGT free for UK investors.
