Pre-Owned Royal Mint 3oz Platinum Crown £5 Coin CGT Free

Pre-owned Royal Mint 3oz platinum £5 crown coins are a cost-effective way to buy CGT-free platinum second-hand, offering three troy ounces of platinum at a lower price than new.

These pre-owned Royal Mint 3oz platinum £5 crown coins may come from issues such as the 2004 Entente Cordiale, 2005 Horatio Nelson, 2006 Queen Elizabeth 80th Birthday, 2007 Diamond Wedding and 2022 Queen Elizabeth Memorial crowns. These are piedfort crowns, struck to a heavier thickness than a standard coin. Because this is a pre-owned product we cannot guarantee which design you will receive, as it depends on our current stock.

As UK legal tender with a face value of £5, these Royal Mint 3oz platinum £5 crown coins are free from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. That means you keep the whole of any gain when you sell, no matter how much the platinum price has risen. The same does not apply to bullion bars, or to coins from overseas mints. Across a larger holding, the saving can easily outweigh the slightly higher premium these coins carry. Tax treatment depends on your own circumstances and on current HMRC rules.

Every Royal Mint 3oz platinum £5 crown coin is guaranteed to hold three troy ounces of 999.5 fine platinum, and is legal tender with a face value of £5. The precious metal content is exactly the same as a new coin; only the packaging and presentation differ. Each coin is checked and tested by our experienced in-house team before we offer it for sale. Being a second-hand product, they are supplied without their original mint packaging, capsules or certificates.

Please note: these Royal Mint 3oz platinum £5 crown coins have been purchased back from our own customers, and may show signs of previous ownership such as surface marks or blemishes. Appearance and condition vary from one coin to the next. Neither these cosmetic imperfections nor the absence of an original certificate affects the intrinsic value of the precious metal. We still offer the same buyback rate as we would for an equivalent new coin, based on the precious metal content. Collectors who want a flawless example should look at our new platinum coins instead. For investors buying purely for the precious metal, this is one of the most cost-effective ways to do it.
