For many years, German bullion dealers benefited from a reduced VAT rate on investment silver coins, while most other European dealers had to charge full VAT. The result was simple: serious European investors who wanted to buy silver coins at the best price went to Germany. Today, the situation has flipped. Most European dealers – including German dealers – now have to charge full VAT in their own country. Globalsilver, by contrast, applies a 0% VAT rate on silver coins that are delivered or collected in France.
For you as an investor, this translates into a price advantage of roughly 12–20% compared to typical gross retail prices in your home market. Based on a 14% advantage and prices in early December 2025, this means approximately:
Per monster box, this advantage is roughly equivalent to two months of average net salary in many European countries – achieved simply by choosing the right place to buy. If you plan to buy at least 250 silver coins and are willing to collect them in France, you can turn a few hours of driving into several thousand – or even tens of thousands – of euros in immediate, tax‑free upside, with no additional market risk. In effect, you are locking in a net “return” of 12–20% in a single transaction, purely through smart structuring of your purchase.
To make this as straightforward as possible, we provide 35 collection points in France, including three locations (Mulhouse, Strasbourg and Metz) very close to the German border. You choose the collection point that best suits you, we ship your order there securely, and you pick it up on the agreed date. Alternatively, you can appoint a trusted person to collect on your behalf or arrange professional transport to your residence yourself.
Once you decide to work with us, your preferred silver coins will physically be in your hands just a few days after we receive your payment. You can store them at home, in a bank safe deposit box or with a specialised storage provider, and you can transfer them easily whenever you wish. Because you will have taken delivery in France, the applicable VAT rate is the French one: 0%. You are buying as a private individual on a net basis, well below typical gross prices in your home market – fully legally, backed by an invoice in your name that documents and secures the transaction.
Buying silver coins in France (within the EU) and buying silver coins in Switzerland (outside the EU) are two completely different situations.

Competitive edge:
The applicable VAT rate is 0% if:
The full VAT rate of your country of residence only applies if you explicitly ask us to ship your order directly to your home country. In that case, the VAT of your country must be added to our net prices, and the price advantage compared with a local dealer largely disappears. The choice is yours: if you prefer to pay VAT, you are free to request this by email before confirming your order and we will accomodate you.
We are confident that you will immediately see where your economic interest lies. To ensure the financial gain clearly outweighs your time and travel costs, we recommend a minimum of 250 coins. The structure becomes particularly efficient from 500 coins upwards – precisely the range in which we are well set up to handle orders in a professional and timely manner.
Legal and tax certainty:
Our business model is built on clear, straightforward and legally vetted principles. We have all the necessary guarantees in place to offer this structure to you without creating risk for you or for us.
Your invoice – issued in your name, with full details on quantities, product specifications and the VAT regime – provides transparency and legal certainty. Should you want to learn more regarding the applicable VAT, click here.
Speed and planning:
Logistical security:
For transport to collection points or French delivery addresses, we work with reputable, insured logistics partners such as UPS. Our entire process is built around a simple principle that encourages responsibility and speeds up resolution if anything goes wrong: whoever makes a mistake bears the financial consequences. We take responsibility for what we do, and we work only with partners and clients who share the same mindset. When you buy from us, you receive the same coins and security standards you would expect from your usual bullion dealer – only at a significantly better price.
If you are prepared to purchase at least 100 silver coins and either collect them in France (at one of our 35 collection points, some of which are along the borders) or arrange transport yourself, you can buy 12–20% cheaper than in your home country, without compromising on quality or security. You retain full ownership and control over your coins and rely on a solid, transparent structure designed specifically to investors welcoming financial opportunities to capture this pricing advantage.
