<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1018346, member: 66"]Yes right now if you declare all your income, including what you made on the sale of the silver coins you do owe 28% tax on the profits of the sale of that silver. That is the current law. The sale of most items you have capital gains on is 15%, but for coins or other collectibles the rate is 28%.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2012 thing comes from the law requiring dealers to send a 1099 to the government for every person they buy more then $600 worth of material from. Right now they don't have to do that so many people don't report their profits from their sales. After the law goes into effect it will be harder to hide those profits if the IRS decides to audit you. "Dear sir, we have a 1099 form from XYZ Coins that says he paid you $860 for coins in 2012. We do not see this income reflected on your return......"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
