Hello everyone. I hope your knowledge and experience can lead me in right direction. My father passed away and left some gold certificates with Perth mint. It's a considerable number of unallocated ounces. I have option of selling but I don't want cash I want the gold. Im being told I will have to pay to have it allocated, fabricated shipped and taxed. Im told this by ASI(Asset Strategies International) who helped my father purchase gold in 2008. Should I deal with Perth directly? Should I allocate and pay storage there in Australia? Is there a advisor that can give me straight answers not trying to sale me something or open an account? Any information is greatly appreciated.

I think it is worth calling these guys: https://mcalvany.com/metals/ They should be able to help you without you getting screwed!
Thank you. I will. I'll let you know what they say. Have you used them before?
I have followed them for years, they are one of the most trusted and respected dealers in the U.S. They should be able to give you the best advice of how to go about converting the unallocated into physical, they may be able to do it for you, but I'm not 100% sure.
I had to let you know that they called me today and the gentleman I spoke with was great! He was honest, knowledgeable and actually cared about sharing his years of experience. I was driving so I asked if he would send me his information for my next purchase. When I started he stopped me and said he already had it and that he had since 1998. He had all of my father's info which is now mine. I about lost it. I found a new dealer I can trust and that my father trusted and I have you to thank. So THANK YOU sooo very much for taking the time to point me in the right direction. Oh the right plan is to pay Perth mint to fabricate unallocated gold into 1oz and then have shipped to states. I'll take hit on shipping and insurance but not the huge loss on capital gains and premiums. Thanks again
