<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1264696, member: 22004&quot;]So the tax authorities, etc., would regard any exchange of 90% silver, $50 gold eagles, etc., as at market value rather than face value?&nbsp; I have heard people recommend using such a ploy with a property purchase for tax purposes.&nbsp; So although a property might be on the town tax books as worth $1 million, if you paid in $50 gold eagles (543 of them), with a face value of just over $25K, the local, state or federal government would reject this?</p><p><br /></p><p>So how is it that the government gets to under price their mint products, inflate the currency beyond belief, and then sue anyone who holds them to their word?&nbsp; Lewis Carrol would be amazed by this logic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
