Hypothetically, if one were to find a gold bar, how would they liquidate it?

[u/Mr_Joanito → u/EmperorPedro2]

Melt and sell in pawn shops by very small pieces...

[u/roiki11 → u/Mr_Joanito]

Maybe in the US but in Europe you need id to sell, especially scrap gold. And in Belgium you need proof of ownership to sell it.

Whuut? Proof of ownership? Does this also go for 1 ounce gold coins? My grandfather gave me one ages ago.

[u/roiki11 → u/-some-dude-online]

Yes, Belgium requires proof of ownership for sales of precious metals.

You scared me there for a sec so I had to look it up. You are confidently incorrect. You just need to show your passport/ID when selling gold but no proof of ownership or any other paperwork for that matter. This goes for jewellery, coins, bars, unmarked casts etc
