<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7483023, member: 103207"]Without going on about taxes when selling coins. I feel receipts are important when dealing with higher value coins. If you pay by credit card you should get a receipt. However, if your buying cheaper coins with cash it depends on the situation. Most dealers would prefer not to bother with receipts on coins sold for under $100.00. It adds to cost and time plus bookkeeping. In general your local dealer has to keep track of sales. He also has to keep track of inventory. There are a number of ways they can do it. Realistically, coins worth less than $100.00 may be clumped into a general description such as junk silver. He could record that he sold 5 Morgan dollars for X amount. I know a lot of dealers that will make notations as to what they sold. Now if he sold a 1889 CC dollar in Fine he would make that entry. I also know that in some states if a dealer buys a group of coins or a collection they have to hold those coins for a month before selling them. They also have to record who they got them from. I've seen dealers ask for an ID when buying coins. It helps protect them from being accused of buying stolen coins. No ID means no sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
