Can I deduct the cost of shipping and insurance on the purchase of bullion?
I’m a small buyer of gold and silver bullion and coins. Of course the trick is to purchase at or below market spot (no interest in the numismatic value) however by the time shipping and insurance are added to the bullion it is sometimes well above spot. Can this be deducted as an “investment” expense?

An investment expense it even if those deductions exceed of your adjusted gross income.
An investment expense it is part of your basis when you dont get any benefit from miscl deductions and only if you itemize your agi iow you sell it as an investment expenses are miscellaneous deductions and only if you dont get.
