numismatic values

ingots? I am a buyer of gold and silver ingots and coins. Of course, the trick is to buy on the spot market or below (no interest in numismatic value), however, by the time of shipment and insurance are added to the pasta, it is sometimes well above ground. Can it be inferred as an investment "costs?

No, this is not is a capital expense. It is part of the base when you sell. Even if it could be used as capital expenditures, can not give an advantage. Capital expenditures are "miscellaneous deductions" and reduced by 2% of your adjusted gross income. OIA does not receive any benefit from miscl. deduction unless you itemize your deductions, and only if these deductions exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.
