A young woman sits on the bonnet of the Impala, unhurried, watching the traffic pass through the state she lives in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe period is the point.

This is the denomination for someone who wants one substantial Oklahoma note rather than a run of small ones, and at 15.55 cm long it works as a display piece in a way the smaller notes do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is still not bullion, and it is worth being plain about that. A quarter-ounce Britannia or a 10 g bar holds far more gold for the money, and every Goldback carries a real premium for the artwork and the format. Buy the 25 because you want this note. If gold per pound is the priority, buy coins or bars.\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.
