Thanks for the response. I only buy junk silver coins because they are easy to identify and expensive to fake so I trust them more than bullion bars. I used to sell them online and never encountered a problem with any kind of taxation, I think because they fall more under the numismatic collectable category rather than bullion.

If you do decide to buy some I am sure I will pick some up at some time, I will watch this topic for updates.

I was curious so I looked into it but found so much conflicting information I'm not sure what is right. Some sources say .999 silver isn't taxed, some say only legal tender coins aren't taxed, some say they aren't taxed as all except when you go to sell. I'm not knowledgeable enough about Canadian financial laws to determine what the right answer is. Either way, do what has worked for you.

One of the beauties of small increment silver bullion right now is that its incredibly rarely faked. The fakes that do exist are beyond terrible and so easy to pick out with the eye that they are a non issue. I actually saw a really good fake silver eagle one time, and it turns out it cost somewhere around $40-50 to make, which is hilarious because the real ones are half that price. In about 6 years of minor silver trading, I dont think I've ever had anyone try and pass off fake silver bullion to me. Alternatively, the first time I ever try and buy gold over 1/10th of an oz, the first thing I get is fake. My Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge paid for itself with a single use

I will definitely keep what you said in mind next time I order, and see about picking up 90% coinage. I've got one order coming in this week but its just a single 500 gram Geiger Silver Bar. I'll resume ordering when I get back from vacation. Nothing sucks worse than having metals left in your mailbox for a week while you are out of town.

I appreciate your attitude, sir! I will likely give you a try for a purchase in the future

Not a problem. Escrow is only a minor inconvenience. There are very few cases where a sale isn't worth the time to escrow, and that applies across the board. Let me know if there is anything in particular you are looking for.

Thanks again for the coins & great customer service Salty, looking forward to them! Cool

I cant bring everything to the table that large online dealers can, but I attempt to make up for that with quick shipping times, very competitive pricing, and quick responses/customer service. I'm sure you will be pretty excited by what you get when they arrive
