I just got back from my local post office outlet where I do buy a lot of my coins because you don't pay shipping.
Anyway she had some $20 silver that we just got, she had 2 with no card for $20 and a pile with the card for $25. I took the 2 $20 coins , so I don't have a spec. sheet for them, but then I don't have the spec. sheet for my others either, but one.
Rest in Peace

Hey, maybe that's what the US Postal Service should start doing to stay in business - sell precious metals over the counter.

I've been buying some coins at the PO but find them somewhat expensive. But the idea of writing them off as a business expense is a good one. Thanks for that.

My only complaint is there is less selection and not too many of the rarer deals. Though you'd never know depending on what the local interest is. And, I've never seen the CP sell coins above issue price either (save for very select few older coins on their website)

The idea of claiming personal coin purchases as a business expense wouldn't be something I would announce on a public forum.

They'd have to find me first! :)
Jokes aside, a few hundred bucks here and there is hardly something the tax man would audit us over, and if they do, they'll find the small venture I have to be in just a deep of a hole without that expense written in. The coins can be gifts too and there's a place for that in the ledger as well, which we have not used.
Good advice though!
