i can't account for what i lost in the wreck. besides that, i might have gained or lost another $20 from in-person sales with strangers, but i don't know. but considering there are capital gains taxes on bullion, will i ever be called upon to account for that? and besides that, once i did trade in some rounds i considered undesireable for others, not a profit or loss, but i lack records and can't even account for what happened to those undesireable rounds. will i ever be called upon to account for that? and now, again, for other reasons, i'm in a position where i might have to reconfigure whatever remains of my stack, and i'm wondering about tax consequences of dealing with a dealer in the first place, considering that someone somewhere has a record that bullion went down some rabbit hole that is me. also besides all that, can i write off a shipwreck?
Sorry to hear of your shipwreck. I hope everyone survived with their health. You should you probably inform the Maritime Safety Authority too.
In my sparetime, I am a reserve member of the MSA. By all means please feel free to send me the GPS co-ordinates of your wreck. For safety reasons of course. I can then inspect the site to be sure everything is "in order".
