Utah is where the series began, which makes the 1 Utah the most historically significant single note in the range and the usual first purchase for someone collecting by state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is the same as any small denomination: at 1\/1000 oz the premium over spot is high, and it will always be higher than a Britannia or a bar. Buy this for the artwork, the format and the place it holds in the series — not for gold per pound spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUK buyer notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYard Mint supplies Goldbacks from UK stock.

They can be bought, owned, sold, collected and voluntarily exchanged where both parties agree, but no UK business is required to accept one. They also do not share the Capital Gains Tax exemption that applies to Britannias and post-1837 Sovereigns, which are sterling currency. VAT and CGT are separate questions with different answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResale depends on the gold price, the condition of the note and buyer demand at the time.
