Pre-owned 1/10oz silver Britannia coins are a cost-effective way to buy the smallest Royal Mint Britannia second-hand, with the same silver content as a new coin at a lower price.
These pre-owned 1/10oz silver Britannia coins can be from any year of issue. These have been struck by The Royal Mint from 2024 onwards. Because this is a pre-owned product you cannot request a particular year, as it depends on our current stock.
As UK legal tender with a face value of 20 pence, these 1/10oz silver Britannia 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 silver 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 1/10oz silver Britannia coin is guaranteed to hold a tenth of a troy ounce of 999 fine silver, and is legal tender with a face value of 20 pence. 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. Larger quantities will be supplied in tubes of 19 wherever possible.
Please note: these 1/10oz silver Britannia coins have been purchased back from our own customers, and may show signs of previous ownership such as surface marks, blemishes or tarnishing. 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 fractional silver Britannias instead. For investors buying purely for the precious metal, this is one of the most cost-effective ways to do it.
