I did milk a goat for the first time this past weekend. I tried to get my 3 year old to do it, but she wanted daddy to do it instead. I even got a ribbon saying "I milked a dairy goat" I know it's sad but I was excited and it now hangs on my fridge. >>
I'll sell it all for the right price I dont need hard times to sell I'll just start all over. I would love to do it again. Broadstruck can I rent one of your goats, I fired my landscapers too, but I did the yard and I think I'll call him back on monday.

I know a lot of people who would take issue with that statement. A lot.
"Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
<< <i>I don't like banks, if i want cash its as easy as selling a coin. Gold sovereign's, or maple leafs. Just like in the old days, they are small, and easy to hide. Tax free. >>
Not tax free by any means.
You're admitting that you are a tax cheat?
Not a very wise move.

So, I see only one answer where one person sold coins due to financial issues a decade ago.
One person financing a kitchen remodel.
A few folks trading.
Most everyone else in acquisition mode, as I am now. I was trading a few months ago.
Absolutely nobody selling coins at this time due to 'hard times'. As it should be...your finances should be in order before adding to your collection hobby.
The propaganda of today is what bugs me. The media is full of garbage from all quarters and I trust nobody. This particular bit of propaganda seems to be designed to create a feeling of class warfare and is probably there to influence voters.
But look. Upon examination...no problem here, not amongst the board members anyway. Sure, some doom and gloom amongst the hard core gold promoters, but fear makes gold prices go up. Personally, i'd like cheaper gold so that I can buy more. I'm not selling.
And as far as selling coins...if you are aware of the tax codes and follow them carefully...there are many ways to make selling a coin a tax free event or to minimize that tax bite. It's very worthwhile to know the tax codes! Unfortunately many people pay way too much out of ignorance of the law.
No. I live modestly within my means and I have saved for a rainy day.

I am still net spending on coins.
I have not had to sell to make ends meet.
Fortunately my wife and I have good jobs.
(Mainly the wife, I'm partially disabled.)I have had to put spending on coins on the back burner.
Although I bought a Proof and UNC Bald Eagle $0.50. But last year I bought quite a few coins for my collection.
I have lost interest in the Mod Coms so I will hold them until prices firm up to what I paid. But won't be selling them anytime soon.
I would like to be buying coins if the market is indeed soft as some say.

We know you gotta be loaded.

Over the course of your lifetime, has it never rained?
Living within your means is all well and good, for sure but - live a little!

Git rid of yer mistress and your goats can serve a third purpose and you can save even more money.

I hope you are not trying to get 'milk' from that goat.
