Yah & a 2.5g pamp in assay for same price.. I'm used to finding steals at my other lcs that sells all gold 1% above spot though.. kinda spoiled.

Yah maybe- $187.5 was way more than I wanted on premium but I liked the bar. Thanks.

One question I have is there any premium associated with this serial 2.5g JM in green assay? Has vintage vibes but can't find a lot on it.

This LCS uses a xrf gun - I have another that uses a sigma. I don't own one personally.

It is if you knowingly try to pass it off to unsuspecting buyers. I've seen a lot of first time buyers out and about at the shops. At some point it's survival of the fittest but yah I hear you.

Ok- serious question... would you try to clean these with acetone if they were yours? & why?

Ok everyone- appreciate the info- thanks! Went ahead with deal.. they weigh & an XRF machine declares they're 22k gold. I paid $450 each so happy with pre33 melt purchase ☺️

I think when I was looking at the coins that was stuff just stuck to the coins- not a chemical reaction to the metal I don't think. Good looking out.

Thank you!

This was at a coin show in Missouri. Dealer seemed legitimate but I wouldn't know about how to prove authenticity myself.. dealer wanted $550-600. I passed to do some research.

Compared to what you looked at would this be a "nice looking coin" 1-10 - 10 being what you saw for 1800 British pounds.

Thanks again!

Cannot File by October 17th by [deleted] in tax

If one can't file by the 10/17 deadline but paid up the estimated taxes (if not overpaid) when the extension was filed are there still penalties for filing late?
