However, if you make money from it, then it's got to be good insanity ~ right ?

I thought there were custom problems and the next Heritage auction is months away.

Slabbed prices are crazy.

If you send abroad and want it back in the UK you will be hit for VAT on any value you asign to it. A fully insured value could get high. I guess if you send it to Heritage an get them to slab it before auctioning it there would be no duty to pay.

[Rob 3,152]

If you ship on a temporary export licence, there is no duty payable if the returning item matches the exported item. People travelling abroad with equipment for their job (tool kits etc) do this all the time. Contents have to be itemised, but customs are pretty realistic and flexible when large quantities of items worth pence each are involved. The problem arises with the Royal Mail or whatever courier acting for HMRC. In this case you will probably have to appeal against the costs and provide the evidence within the time allowed to avoid charges.

Its cheaper than doing it yourself then

Also gets rid of a lot of expensive postage costs back and forth, notwithstanding the eradication of import/export issues!

There would be no Import costs to PCGS in France. Is anyone actually Reading my posts correctly? PCGS have an office in Paris so there is no Tax duty to pay

I often wonder the same thing.

There's no import duty into the States either, It's just if you want to get it back into the UK again after slabbing.

Well somebody mentioned bloody duty somewhere! Anyway, it's saves nearly £20 on postage by missing out the slabbing process as a first party!

There is a relevant post on www.pcgs.com (foreign and ancients forum) about what a rarity a 1935 REP crown in proof was at PCGS67 for "only" 2600USD.

Thought you fellows would like that! Outrageous in my opinion. So maybe money to be made as the one poster appears to have an offer out!!!!

PS Please adjust the linkage for me if you are able.

I am still in if postage, customs and slabbing charges are less than 10% of the realised price - it looks pretty clear to me that slabbed high grade English silver is getting a huge premium in the States at the moment, from almost any era! Others still in?
