- pjc50 5y agoI see the scams are out in force selling "gold (plated) sovereign".
- tim333 5y agoNot really a scam if they tell you it's plated. Now if they sell it as a real one that's bad.
- Mauricebranagh 5y agoBecause a Sov is actual currency you don't pay VAT and CGT doesn't apply.
- tim333 5y agoCool.
