nyc finally did away with sales tax on gold . i regretted buying from fidelity and not benham capital at that time . benham had the zero coupon treasury funds back then . boy talk about volatile .
The handful of coins I do own were bought in the mid-90s from Benham Capital. It seems that they are no longer in business?

I used to have a Benham Capital T-Bill account, if I recall correctly, but it was a long time ago.

I had the 2010's, which obviously matured 10 years ago.
But when I had them I figured out that they had stale pricing and I could arbitrage the price.
I tripled my IRA in a few months and then they told me to cut it out and actually changed their terms of service to restrict the number of transfers out. :D
