I would like to start acquiring gold coins such as the Swiss 20 Francs or gold bars etc. but not something that the government could confiscate (ie us coins after 1933). What would be a good online website to buy gold from? Would gold bars be good as well? How about the effects of grading, certified or not, year, etc. affect the price (in particular - swiss franc).




I have 50 Gold coins (1990 Irish 50 ECU) that I plan to sell on Ebay. I’ve heard that some graders will give you a higher grade if you pay them more. I want to know if it is worth it to take my coins to a grader.




I was told that the companies like Monex do not report when you buy/sell gold coins, but do report when you buy gold bullion. Is this legal and is this true?
To clarify, the point I’m making is that if you purchase coins you do not need to pay capital gains tax if there is a profit whereas on bars you do need to pay capital gains on profits. I was wondering if anyone can verify this.




Where can I buy gold coins or gold bullion in the Philippines?

Specifically in Makati City or Paranaque?




I recently purchased 3 gold coins for my in-laws..the jeweller that sold them said that I could take them to India without attracting any import duty, but somehow I don’t trust a sellers words :).. I am in USA and am planning a trip to India in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your help.




I see a gold coin on Ebay for twice what mine sold for
It was graded as proof .69 and sealed by the grading
company. What does proof mean?

I’d like to sell my Gold and Silver coins today but most companies require that I mail it in which takes several days. I live in Los Angeles what is the easiest way for me to sell my coins today?




Why is it against the law to make gold coins. As long as you are not trying to counterfit a county’s currency, why would taking gold and forming it into a coin be against the law?
