A record number of investors sold gold coins to the Royal Mint between April and June for tax-free gains, as the price of gold reached all-time highs.<\/p>\n
The value of gold coins resold to the Royal Mint reached an all-time high, with a 75% increase quarter-on-quarter and 55% year-on-year.<\/p>\n
The Royal Mint operates a buyback program where customers can sell their gold coins.<\/p>\n
In one case, an investor purchased gold coins from the Royal Mint in October 2024, when the gold price was \u00a31,972.40, and sold them in June 2025 for a capital gains tax-free profit of \u00a370,000, when the gold price had risen to \u00a32,447.74.<\/p>\n
Driving the increase in investors reselling the precious metal was the gold price, which set five new all-time highs in sterling, reaching a peak of \u00a32,611.66 in April.<\/p>\n
This led to “unprecedented engagement from British investors,” according to The Royal Mint.<\/p>\n

Gold bullion and coins purchased outside the Royal Mint are not exempt from capital gains tax. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A record number of investors sold gold coins to the Royal Mint between April and June for tax-free gains, as the price of gold reached all-time highs.
