Industrial demand for silver has grown consistently for the past three decades because of silver’s many unique properties, including its strength, malleability and ductility.

    Testimony of Patrick A. Heller of Liberty Coin Service, Lansing, Michigan IN SUPPORT OF HB 268: EXEMPT SALE OF INVESTMENT METAL BULLION AND COINS FROM SALES TAX AND SIMILAR LANGUAGE IN THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR FY 2022-2023 Submitted before the Ohio Senate Finance Committee May 18, 2021 Chair Dolan and members of the Committee, I write in support of HB 268 to re-establish a sales-and-use-tax exemption for investment metal bullion and coins and for similar language in the Appropriations for FY 2022- 2023 for Ohio. My name is Patrick A. Heller. After working as a CPA in Michigan, in 1981 I became the owner of Michigan’s largest coin dealer, Liberty Coin Service, in Lansing. When Michigan enacted a comparable exemption in 1999, the House and Senate fiscal agencies and the Michigan Treasury used my calculation of forsaken tax collections in their analyses. I also conservatively forecasted the likely increase in Michigan tax collections if the exemption was enacted, and later documented that the actual increase in tax collections was nearly double what I had projected. My analyses of both tax expenditures and documented increases in state Treasury tax collections were subsequently used to support a successful effort to previously adopt this exemption in Ohio. This research has also supported successful efforts to adopt sales and use tax exemptions for precious-metals bullion, coins, and currency in Alabama, Arkansas (signed into law by Governor Hutchinson on May 3, 2021 and taking effect October 1, 2021), Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

    INFORMATION BULLETIN #50 SALES TAX JULY 2017 (Replaces Information Bulletin #50 dated July 2016) Effective Date: July 1, 2016 (Retroactive) SUBJECT: Sales of Coins, Bullion, or Legal Tender REFERENCE: IC 6-2.5-3-5; IC 6-2.5-4-1; 45 IAC 2.2-4-1; IC 6-2.5-5-47 DISCLAIMER: Information bulletins are intended to provide nontechnical assistance to the general public. Every attempt is made to provide information that is consistent with the appropriate statutes, rules, and court decisions. Any information that is inconsistent with the law, regulations, or court decisions is not binding on the department or the taxpayer. Therefore, the information provided herein should serve only as a foundation for further investigation and study of the current law and procedures related to the subject matter covered herein. SUMMARY OF CHANGES Other than nonsubstantive, technical changes, this bulletin is revised to clarify that sales tax exemption for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender applies to coins, bullion, or legal tender that would be allowable investments in individual retirement accounts or individually-directed accounts, even if such coins, bullion, or legal tender was not actually held in such accounts. INTRODUCTION In general, an excise tax known as the state gross retail (“sales”) tax is imposed on sales of tangible personal property made in Indiana. However, transactions involving the sale of or the lease or rental of storage for certain coins, bullion, or legal tender are exempt from sales tax. Transactions involving the sale of coins or bullion are exempt from sales tax if the coins or bullion are permitted investments by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or by an individually-directed account (“IDA”) under 26 U.S.C.

Gresham's law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Gresham's Law) Gresham's law is commonly stated: "Bad money drives out good." Gresham's law applies specifically when there are two forms of commodity money in circulation which are forced, by the application of legal-tender laws, to be respected as having the same face value in the marketplace. Gresham's law is named after Sir Thomas Gresham (1519 – 1579), an English financier in Tudor times. Contents 1 Definitions 1.1 "Good money" 1.2 "Bad money" 2 Theory 3 History of the concept 3.1 Origin of the name 4 The law in reverse 5 The law in other fields 6 See also 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Definitions The terms "good" and "bad" money are used in a technical non-literal sense, and with regard to exchange values imposed by legal-tender legislation, as follows: "Good money" Good money is money that shows little difference between its exchange value and its commodity value. In the original discussions of Gresham's law, money was conceived of entirely as metallic coins, so the commodity value was the market value of the coined bullion of which the coins were made. An example is the US dollar, which was equal to 1/20.67 ounce (1.5048 g) of gold until 1934 — and carried an exchange value (at those fixed rates) roughly equal to its coined-gold market value.

    Beaver Money

    Beaver Money Readers should feel free to use information from the website, however credit must be given to this site and to the author of the individual articles. Over fifty-eight thousand dollars in gold coin was minted in Oregon City by the Oregon Exchange Company in 1849 and is known as Beaver money.1 The coins earned their name from the image of a beaver which was impressed on the obverse side of each coin. The production of these five and ten dollar pieces had the approval of both Oregon’s provisional legislature and George Abernethy the provisional governor.2 Unfortunately, the minting of this specie was problematic even from the outset. Beaver money finds its origin in the aftermath of the California Gold Rush when hundreds of miners returned to Oregon bearing gold dust. Estimates put the value of the gold in Oregon at over two million dollars.3 The gold was not fungible, which is to say that it was hard to accurately weigh loose dust on scales that were not uniform - the gold needed to be minted in a solid recognizable form of consistent weight. Store owners were accused of rigging their scales to give them more than an ounce, and customers were sometimes guilty of mixing yellow sand in with gold to trick proprietors.4 Uncertainty about the purity of transaction gold placed the dust’s value at anywhere from ten to sixteen dollars an ounce depending upon the store owner’s decision. 5 Joseph Lanes arrival as the first governor of the recently established Oregon Territory threw a wrench into the legislature’s plan.

SOurCE: Canada. DEPT. OF NATIONAL DEFenCE / LIbrarY and ARCHIVES Canada / PA-022759 THE POWER OF A WAR-TIME EMBRACE. When Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, its entire Empire was drawn into the conflict, including Canada. Across the Dominion, men flocked to recruiting stations. Within two months, Canada’s pre-war militia that included a standing army of 3,110 men had grown to 33,000. Many were recent British immigrants or native-born Canadians of British origin, but among them were also more than 1,000 French Canadians, many First Nations as well as many others from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Five hundred soldiers from the British colonies of Newfoundland and Labrador also joined the ranks, while some 2,500 women stepped forward to serve as nurses. Train stations across Canada became the stage for tearful goodbyes and lingering embraces. The First World War was a true coming of age for the young nation, and the hope, fear, courage and deep sacrifice Canadians felt 100 years ago remain as poignant and inspiring today. Designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, this coin depicts a couple’s emotional farewell as the first wave of volunteers boards for camp. Time stands still for this couple as they savour one last embrace before his departure. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call of duty, and their loved ones who remained on the home front.

  • The Sovereign – Setting the Gold Standard

    The Sovereign – Setting the Gold Standard

    ALCHEMIST ISSUE SEVENTY SEVEN The Sovereign – Setting the Gold Standard By Victoria Newman, PR Communications Manager, The Royal Mint an attempt to restabilise the county’s currency, the British Government took the decision to adopt the gold standard. As a result of this Great Coinage of 1816, the value of Britain’s currency became tied to the value of gold and a new circulating gold coin with a value of 20 shillings was introduced – the Sovereign. Almost half the weight and diameter of the original Sovereign, the new gold coin of 1817 more than matched its predecessor in the beauty of its design. The Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci was given the task of designing the reverse image for this new 19th-century Sovereign and created his own classical depiction of St George and the Royal Mint Sovereign, obverse and reverse dragon to take pride of place on the coin. Whilst this now iconic design continues to be struck on Victoria Newman reviews the history of the Sovereign, the flagship gold Sovereigns today, its initial outing actually lasted coin of The Royal Mint, and one of the world’s most famous gold coins for only eight years before it was replaced by more conventional heraldic designs in 1825. with a rich and varied history that dates back for more than 500 years. Dr Kevin Clancy, Director of the Royal Mint Museum, stated: “The gold Sovereign was first introduced in 1489 when Henry VII instructed the Mint to produce ‘a new money of gold’, which would be the largest coin England had ever seen, both in size and value, making in the process a strong statement about his reign.

Over centuries, gold has been prized for its rarity and beauty. One of the earliest records of gold used as money dates from 560 BC, when King Croesus of Lydia, today’s western Turkey, created a coin emblazoned with his own image. Before coinage, many commodities were used as a medi- um of exchange — cattle, cocoa beans, shells and hides, to name but a few. As the idea of the guaranteed gold coin gained gradual acceptance, gold became the formalized basis of economic life. Like ancient cultures, our modern society still recognizes the value and beauty of gold.

    Gold Why's Top 10 Copper Bullion Tips

    Gold Why’s Top 10 Copper Bullion Tips Welcome to Gold Why’s eBook all about copper bullion! It’s really interesting. When I started GoldWhy.com back in late 2007, I focused very heavily on gold bullion (as the name of the site indicates), but also included a few articles about copper bullion just for fun. Around then, I had just started buying copper bullion bars from Jetco Metals and was totally blown away (and I still am every time I buy a copper ingot form Jetco). I was also hoarding pre-1982 copper pennies for their copper bullion value (and I still do to this day). A lot has changed since then! Copper bullion mints have come and gone. Some have come and stayed. The industry has matured. We’ve even got a store that specializes in copper bullion products across all mints: The Copper Cave by Susquehanna Hobbies. One thing is for sure: Copper bullion is hotter than ever. Copyright © 2009 GoldWhy.com All Rights Reserved. This eBook May Not Be Copied, Reproduced, or Sold Under Any Circumstances. Page 2 of 5 One other thing happened during this time: GoldWhy.com has emerged as the authority on copper bullion. While my site still focuses on gold bullion, it is now also the industry standard when it comes to copper bullion. I sincerely thank everyone who has visited Gold Why and enjoyed my articles about copper bullion. I stay up very late at night after my regular 9 to 5 job to update my site. It’s people like you that keep me going! Today, I’m extremely excited to launch Gold Why’s first eBook.
