<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1601473, member: 42789&quot;]The question would be (at least in my opinion) if the asset is clearly identifiable or not, not whether it&#039;s collectible or not. For example, mint proofs are generally indistinguishable from each other, and would be treated like share of stock. You can&#039;t sell one and buy another without the wash sale coming into play.</p><p><br /></p><p>A collectible coin with a specific year, grade, mint mark would be different. As long as the coin(s) you sold was somehow significantly different from the coin(s) you purchased, then I would think you could take the loss. But given that it appears that you&#039;re trying to take a loss against the price of the base metal, I would expect that the IRS would challenge that particular loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
