We believe everyone should make their own decisions, based on the best available information, so we’d recommend you take your time and consider your options. That said, for many people in the UK, gold coins are the more attractive option because there’s no VAT payable (provided they’re of a certain level of purity, as is the case with the coins Rosland provides). There’s also nothing quite like the feel of gold in your hand, or the way it catches the light and almost seems to glow from within. On the other hand, with silver you get a lot more for your money, so some people find it’s a great way to get started for a limited outlay.
