Right now you can sell 1000 ounces of silver and up to 25 ounces of gold in one day without tax implications. $600 in coins, gold or silver? Thats big govt. getting their piece of the action ! Silver looks like the investment to keep under the radar at todays prices, or low denomination gold coins such as 1/10oz. American Eagles. On the downside, smaller denominations bring higher premiums.
