Yeah they have stock there and you can order online and pick it up, it is a Pallion office which services jewellery trade as well as bullion.
Don’t forget Mickel Smit in Perth mall (upstairs in old London court) https://www.smitsstampsandcoinswa.com.au/products He often gets old Lunar & round 50’s
At this paricular point in time, I only want 8 coins so a very small quantity. I buy 2 each a year for my 4 youngest grandchildren, the current lunar in silver and then one other of any new ones released. PB was so handy for this as they always had everything I wanted but I see that Swan has some but not others and ABC has the others but not all. Very frustrating. And ABC want DL and Passport details .. completely unnecessary when I just want to buy 2 coins from them.
You can email Swan Bullion and ask them if they can source what you need. I did that for the Queen's Beasts 2oz White Lion and 10oz Falcon and they brought them in for me plus some extras which have been selling
Not nearly as wide range of stock as Perth Bullion had, but I frequently find their prices are one of the lowest in the country, and delivery is quick and fairly cheap. Recommended.
Former Perth Bullion Company employee Melissa Anne Langridge jailed for stealing $30k worth of coins Shannon Hampton The West Australian Thursday, 19 December 2019 3:08PM A gold thief wept as she was taken in to custody after she was jailed for a year for stealing valuable coins and bullions worth more than $30,000 from her employer and selling them to pay her bills. Melissa Anne Langridge, 32, admitted stealing 60 silver and gold coins and bars worth $31,437 while she was working as a customer service officer at the Perth Bullion Company earlier this year. The court was told part of Langridge’s job was to receive “buy back” items from customers and to set up and back away display cabinets, and she periodically took the items for herself. Langridge then sold the gold and silver to The Perth Mint Shop — once enlisting a friend to do it — receiving thousands of dollars straight into her bank account —in amounts of up to $7700 at a time — in return. Her lawyer told the court her client was experiencing financial difficulty following a period of unemployment before taking up a job at the company, and was unable to pay her rent and debts. The court was told Langridge asked her friend to sell some of the coins because she was a separated mother and she felt sorry for her and thought she could help. Langridge “couldn’t resist the temptation when she saw these items there, and she could solve some of these problems that were mounting up for her”, the court was told. She spent the money on bills, personal debts, and to pay the overdue amount on a car loan. Her lawyer said she was remorseful and had been publicly shamed in the media and “associated with the demise of the company”, which she said was not the case, with its debts running into millions. The company was placed into liquidation in July over a $2 million debt to the Australian Taxation Office. Chief Magistrate Steven Heath was told Langridge had major depression, with her mother dying suddenly from a terminal illness, her cousin dying from cancer, her father being diagnosed with Huntington’s disease and suffering herself from a chronic illness herself. Mr Heath acknowledged Langridge’s personal suffering and that “this is not a case where you spent this money on extravagant items or a luxury lifestyle”. But he said “on the other hand, stealing as a servant is regarded as a particularly serious offence because it involves a breach of trust”. Mr Heath said the stealing happened over an extended period of time, and that her crimes were too serious for anything but an immediate term of imprisonment. Langridge sobbed as she was taken into custody and was handed tissues by a security guard as she was comforted by her lawyer. She will have to serve six months behind bars before becoming eligible for parole. Orders for the return of the items to the Perth Bullion Company and restitution to the Perth Mint Shop were made.
I believe there are around 4 safety deposit box or allocated holders left yet to receive their goods back
Any stackers / Creditor know what the latest update is with Perth bullion Did they RSM sell anything other than the numismatic coins on grays online ? Grays online currently still have coins for auction now The web site is still up says that the premises is under control of Ben. Welsh of engelhard Nominees
all their remaining stock got disposed off to a local coin dealer via tender and is almost all sold now
I believe the Perth Mint purchased the bullion stock to refine and recast. It's a shame if the old cast bars and Perth Mint coins got melted. There were a heap of rare Engelhard Australia, Perth Mint, Harrington, JM etc. and several lesser known refiners including gold rush pioneering era pieces. Also lot of older lunar, kookaburas, kangaroos etc.
To clarify the situation with the ATO for anyone interested or aiming to protect their business from an adverse finding please note the following. The ATO's final claim, and basis for winding up Bullion Bourse pty ltd, was comprised of GST not collected on items where the sale prices (premiums over spot) were above a threshold that was determined to be reasonable, in reference to general bullion sales prices and in particular, the prices that plain cast bars sold for. The threshold was adjusted for product size and metal, as follows. The vast majority of products allegedly misclassified that should have been sold with GST (rather than input taxed) were bullion coins made by the Perth Mint. Note the thresholds in the table above, and compare with retail (or for that matter wholesale) Perth Mint, or Australian bullion market pricing. For comparison I have added the premiums as of 14/9/2020 as listed on perthmintbullion.com to the table, highlighted cells are where the listed premiums exceed the ATO advised thresholds. All coins, and 5 gram minted bar premiums exceed the thresholds advised by ATO for GST to be applicable. Any comments welcome....
Good work bbfounder. That chart is very concerning (premium limits), are you sure it is accurate ? So some of dealers on here may be breaching taxation law.
If I am understanding the table correctly, which I may not be, many Perth Mint bullion products are sold (directly by the Perth Mint) above the premium deemed reasonable by the ATO? When can we expect the Perth Mint to be provided their bill and wound up when they can't pay it?
Yes, the table suggests that Perth Mint retail pricing is outside the price for premiums deemed acceptable for the "investment form" requirement of Investment Precious Metals for GST purposes, by certain officers of the ATO. Actually, even Perth Mint premium or partners distributors who receive best possible pricing will still be paying premiums above those in this table. The premium limits come directly from ATO correspondence justifying a debt and consequent adjustment to client integrated account - however they apparently are not taxation law - I can find no reference to these in GST Act or ITAA, and reliably believe that these are simply the conclusions arrived at by an ATO officer(s) as an appropriate response to an objection to an audit, that was originally four times larger (financially speaking). The original audit found that ONLY "plain" cast bars could correctly be sold without GST (investment precious metals) and explicitly stated that ALL coins were subject to GST giving over 30 points to support the argument, although many of these points are clearly made without relevant industry/topic knowledge and seemingly containing search engines results instead. All of these arguments / points were rebutted - in an objection that was formally "partially granted", all penalties for recklessness and GIC were removed and none of the rebuttals that formed the objection were challenged. The response did present the above table in reply along with the methodology used to arrive at these figures which was used to maintain the assertion that a considerable percentage of sales were incorrectly classified, and that the original audit had identified misclassifications that were not subsequently identified by the reviewing auditor. This directly clashes with the private rulings that I believe Perth Mint received from the ATO for it's bullion coin programme - (and renewed shortly after industry participants were being audited and advised them of potential discrepancies) unless of course the matter of pricing was in fact relevant, but not considered for these rulings. The Perth Mint are not requesting payment of GST on bullion coin sales (also for sales of certain minted bars priced outside the table limits) nor do they offer any material advice on countering effects an adverse position report brings, even to a related entity without any such adverse findings itself. This can include the loss of a distributor account with a manufacturer whose products make up the majority of a business' turnover, and other similar niceities. PM have advised they definitely do have private rulings confirming that their bullion coins are GST free or input taxed when on sold, and advise the use of the public ruling GSTR 2003/10, which is handy advice nonetheless. There are numerous public rulings on ATO website advising applicants they do not need to charge GST on certain bullion coins, however as an informed observation I will add that pricing of these products is invariably and necessarily by virtue of production cost, similar to Perth Mint's and above the thresholds in the table above. This is also the status quo from pre GST days when the products were sales tax-free (and so were numismatic gold, silver and platinum coins as a side note) An amendment to the GST act defining "investment form" is sorely needed. I do not think it likely that the Perth Mint will be wound up similarly any time soon, and have had discussions with relevant ATO personnel implying that certain concessions may be made to assist the company if it contacts the ATO in regard to this matter, and urging them to do so. I believe four entities have been wound up or have ceased trading due to this approach - given that this is not a trivial proportion of the total bullion dealers in Australia, I wonder if it would be a class action if all four united to litigate?
