How this listing is supplied

A single coin — one example only, sold once. When it goes, the listing comes down.

The grading is the supplying dealer's, quoted as he gave it: James II. GF/+, pleasing lightly dakr tone. We have not examined this coin ourselves, and we would rather say so than restate someone else's opinion as our own. See Condition & authentication for what these grades mean.

There is no photograph of this coin. Graded British material is normally bought on the date, the grade and the reference, and we would rather list it honestly without a picture than show you a photograph of a different coin.

Tax

This is a collectors' coin, not investment gold, so the VAT exemption that applies to gold coins does not apply to it. It is also not current legal tender, so the Capital Gains Tax exemption that covers Sovereigns and Britannias does not apply either. The exact VAT treatment is being confirmed before this coin is offered for sale.
