What's a good easy way to get close to spot value for gold coins?
I know Apmex buys coins and their listed buy prices are usually reasonable, but I don't know if there are any additional costs incurred by the seller, other than shipping.
Just go talk to a dealer at your closest coin shop... NOT PAWN SHOP!
My dealer usually offers good prices, both for sale and resale.
Sometimes he offers to buy back for a little MORE than it's worth.
It all depends on how bad the dealer needs the gold.
In this thread? craigslist?
Trading them for dollars to someone who wants to buy gold is the best way. You avoid the middleman.
The best way is to sell them to me for $750 each :)
What coins / how much :)
If you can trade them for something you really need and you can get more than what you could buy for the spot value of the gold in cash, then that's a good idea. Otherwise, cash makes more sense. And I don't see any reason to assume someone would necessarily report their capital gains on that. Although if they do feel like they have to, then the same principle would apply only using spot minus capital gains taxes.
trade for dollars, that is just funny to read
people are buying gold to get away from that paper mess
if anything local is the best way to do it BUT I would hold onto it especially during this day and age.
