G'Day and Welcome :) As far as I know, Capital Gains Tax may apply depending on whether a profit was made, and how long you have held the bullion. No GST etc would apply assuming we're talking .995 or better in fineness. See above. See above. You might be better dealing with members...

That's what I'm seeing... but on a 1992 Kook 1Kg (which isn't recent, obviously). It most certainly is tight though, so no air can get in.

I would be most interested, as I'm sure many stackers here will be, to see the presentations made by Bron & the GS team, unfortunately, making it to Melbourne will be impossible. This is a round-about way of seconding the request to have these presentations recorded and uploaded to Youtube et...

Thank you sir!

Slight deviation on topic, does anyone who has a 1Kg Kook know whether the capsule halves - when joined, are meant to have a slight "gap" - as if it's not fully closed (but it is because it won't close any further)? To try and explain a bit further - the "lid" doesn't seem to have long enough...

Whilst I have no first hand experience, in speaking to some folks I trust, there really isn't much hope in a case like that for the seller when a buyer puts in a dodgy claim of not receiving goods (that is to say, in a case where the buyer is playing pretendies that it never arrived), which is...

What is the productive output of worry? THAT is how you stop worrying, and start doing. Instead of (figuratively speaking) running around mindlessly screaming that the sky is falling / we are all doomed / this is the end of the world as we know it, grab a sheet of paper or twenty, a pencil...

Welcome to the forums :) Love the designs for some of your local stuff, especially this: http://www.mennica.com.pl/en/media/news/article/zobacz/the-third-side-of-the-coin.html

^^ This - I'm confused too?

I don't see how Congress would be forced to do it? I'm no expert on US politics, but somehow I can't see that there would be rules in place to actually mandate this to happen. Or did you mean that if the US citizens wanted to end the tenure of the Federal Reserve, it would be political suicide...

I won't weigh in on the should or should not get a refund argument, as, in my opinion, that would depend on the price paid. If, for example, Silver91 paid spot price for this bar, I personally would consider that fair, and I would accept it myself at that price - I also recognise others may...

Very very interesting to hear (the reaffirmation of) the differences in acquisition between East and West - thank you for sharing!

Three steps: 1. Buy this: http://www.minelab.com/aus/products/gold-detectors/gpx-5000 2. Listen for beep. 3. Find this: http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2013/01/17/1226555/881467-gold-nugget-ballarat.jpg Jokes aside, if there was buried treasure that was detectable from any sort of range...

Very much so, and sorry I had to cut out a little early this time :( Very thought provoking discussion, and looking forward to next month!

I was initially confused by this myself. There is Euro Pacific Capital (http://www.europac.net/) which IS open to US residents but NOT overseas residents, and Euro Pacific Bank (http://europacbank.com/) which is NOT open to US residents but IS open to overseas residents. They point you in the...

Was just about to point that out, and you can follow that closely with Banksters. In fact, I'm not terribly sure that Governments are the biggest evil, banksters may be, because they've got Governments in their pocket doing their beck & call.

I'm just trying to figure out why Guardian Vaults would need a bail out... it's not like they're a bank with loans out there that can go bad (a la 2008 in the USA) or suffer a "bank run" that might predicate the doors being closed?

Have tried it (on 1oz coin), no luck for me, and if the coin has a milled edge, you can most certainly forget it. The problem is that there just isn't enough "meat" on a 1oz coin to measure. I don't have bigger than 1oz coin to try, so - maybe on bigger coins? Unsure.

I won't just "say thanks" for brevity here, because that doesn't tell you that I have found exactly as Cap'n Kook has reported - for the thickness guage to work, you must have good, even contact for the sensor - impossible on a coin, and sometimes even challenging on a Perth Mint blob (poured...
