Taxes on APMEX Gold

Post by era » Wed Nov 13, 2019 3:57 pm

Does anyone have experience with buying, then subsequently selling gold from/to APMEX?

If so, I would assume that the prices & dates of purchase/sale would need to be accounted for in order to determine the capital gains tax?

This seems like a fairly straightforward way of owning physical gold, that is generally fail safe. Does anyone have any experience with this?

They don't have the best prices, for one thing. Look at SD Bullion. I've bought a lot from Texas Precious Metals. Yes, as the taxpayer, you have to keep buy and sell records on your own.

If you have an account, I believe APMEX will keep a history....I believe mine goes back 8 years or so.

I've bought PMs from a few places, but always been happy with APMEX. Depending what you're buying (and whether you're willing to buy what's cheap/on offer), I haven't found their prices to be far off from other places, and their customer service is top notch.
