The way my gold dealer works; they will give you a 1099 if you sell more than 32 ounces at once. But if you go in and sell 2 ounces or 5 ounces or 10 ounces they do not LOL. So the trick is, don't go sell all your gold coins/bars at once. Of course you are required to report those sales yourself ha ha which I'll leave that up to you
