What if I found a gold coin hoard in an undisclosed Balkan country. How would I sell them for profit without getting the local government confiscating it?

>>520060926Put them up your ass and smuggle them to Turkey
>>520061050Bro
>>520060926Give it to me for safekeeping.
>>520061050This if you're a jewSave them for later if you're human.Do not report them to government nor anyone actually.
>>520061050Why would I destroy the numismatic value?
>>520060926A dodgy numismatist might take them off you.I would expect to be low-balled.
>>520061216"Numismatic value" is what you can actually sell it for, not what it says in the Red Book or whatever is used now.
>>520060926Division is key, you can't keep all the gold in one place. If the government thinks you only have a small amount like 5 or four gold coins they won't bother. But if they know its a hoard they will be onto it like flies to shit.
>>520060926Melt it downYou won't get as much but you'll still get just under spot.
>>520061050Fuck you faggot
just hoard it for a while. dont melt it. historic value.
>>520061397Well then give them to a museum if youre so worried about the historical value.
>>520061380>1kg of gold coins in metal value = $100k>1kg of gold coins in numismatic value = $1 million
>>520061211>Why would I destroy the numismatic value?Because fuck history, by making history.
>>520061473Ok, so give them to a museum.I'm sure the government will pay you for them.Right?They won't just confiscate them?Right?
>>520060926find wealthy collectors or museums or historians and contact them anonymously i suppose
>>520060926Craigslist / Ebay You should be fine either way
I'd just chill in front of Dorotheum in Vienna and wait for someone coming out dressed as old money and I'd propose him to buy them.
>>520061282I'm going off the simple principle that stolen goods are offered at a discount to offset the risk of receiving them.Your best bet is always going to be a person of dubious character, who is also a numismatist.
>>520060926Melt a few down for cash to start a new life, sell the rest of the coins to collectors, 1 or 2 at a time, over a period of a couple of years.
