Answer by tro
between two individuals who probably are not reporting it anywhere? not likely
if you are trading silver on the open market, same as gold, and it is reported, of course it will be taxed

Question by Silver17: If the US enters hyperinflation, can silver coins be used as money?
I have silver coins such as the American Eagle, Buffalo, and Canadian Maples. The us constitution has the coinage act, which states that copper and silver coins are considered as money to pay off debt. Does anyone know if silver coins are circulated us coins can be used to purchase goods during hyperinflation? Thank You for your answers!

Best answer:

Answer by Spotty J
First of all, nothing in the constitution forces anyone to accept anything specific in payment of debts -- that's between you and whoever you owe money to. The only thing the government forces people to do with respect to money is to pay taxes to the government with U.S. dollars, and accept payment from the government in US dollars. Everything else is a private affair. We standardize on the currency that the government collects and spends because it would be pointless and inefficient to do anything else.

In the case of hyperinflation, we'd still all be using the usual currency, it would just take more of it to buy stuff. No, people are not going to start spending collectible silver coins as cash. Actually, people would hoard such things in a high-inflation scenario, not spend them as they would be a way to retain value. Canadian coins are not and will not be legal tender in the U.S. in any circumstance -- though again, "legal tender" refers to what the government collects and spends -- any private business is free to accept anything you have to offer including your dirty laundry, if they are willing to accept it as payment.

Question by tony: what US silver dollar coins were made 1900. I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of coin?
I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of the coin, It is a silver dollar. In front of coin it says liberty in god we trust and has the date 1900. And has a women standing up with her hand out. And in back of coin it says United states of America. 1 oz fine silver one dollar, I know for sure is is not a Morgan dollar.

Best answer:

Answer by jabbotuk
It sounds like a commemorative coin - legal tender but not standard issue - because standard issue would not bear the inscription "1 oz fine silver".

Question by Beth: Any good places to find or buy junk silver coins?
I'm looking for junk silver in quarters, dimes, and copper pennies. Here's some places I have already and let me know if you have other suggestions, thanks.

Grocery store change
Banks
Laundry mat business
Coin collectors
website mint companies

Best answer:

Answer by curtisports2
Well, what are you looking to pay, face value or the going rate?

For face value, you can try going through your change or sorting through bank rolls. This isn't going to yield much. With high prices back in the news again like 1980-91, the average person is paying a lot more attention to their change. Sorting of bank rolls has picked up.

Unless you own the laundromat. good luck finding an ignorant owner who doesn't know about silver coins.

As for collectors, they expect to get near 'melt'. Websites charge a premium above 'melt'.

So, what are you willing to pay? I'd be happy to unload my stash of 'junk' silver for an ounce.

Question by Sonata: Anyone have some good Pokemon Soul Silver / Heart Gold training advice (for Poke around level 50+)?
Okay so I got all 16 badges and I'm stuck where to train. My strongest Pokemon is a level 54 Weaville. He's always been my strongest and my pokemon have always been a lot lower leveled then my opponents, even random trainers on the streets! Even so I've never had a real problem battling an opponent and I even made sure to deposit my Pokemon so I have the same amount as a gym leader does when I battle them. I even managed to defeat 3 of Red's Pokemon (mainly 'cause of items). I battled every trainer (I think) and I'm stuck where I can train. I need to raise a couple levels before I do a double battle with my rival against Lance and Clair or challenge Red again. I'm kinda shocked that my Pokemon are so much lower leveled than my opponents', especially since half of them were traded! Sorry to monologue, but getting to the point I need to know a good place to train. I can't use the elite four because they're too strong now and take too long.
Here's my current team:

Weavile: -traded- (hatched from Pearl version, traded for my Cyndaquil as soon as I could trade on SS. Made sure levels were equal) Level 54. Ice Punch, Night Slash, Cut, (4th attack is gonna be Brick Break or Swords Dance whenever I find the TMs) *never had a problem leveling up*

Steelix: Level 52 Earthquake, Rock Climb, Screech, Rock Smash (I know it sucks but I need that HM) *takes forever to raise*

Raichu: -traded- Level 53 Thunderbolt, Fly, Flash, Headbutt

Vaporeon: Level 52 Surf, Whirlpool, Shadow Ball (very weak for some reason), Auora Beam

Dragonair (shiny :> ): -traded- Level 51 Waterfall, Dragon Rush, Dragon Dance, Headbutt *want her to stay a Dragonair without evolving*

Aipom (gonna evolve soon): Level 49 Last Resort, Strength, Screech, Double Hit (his attacks stink right now, gonna teach him the 3 elemental punches)

I also have other pokemon on standby that I raised for a while then stopped inlcuding:
Level 41: (shiny gamestop) Raichu, Ledian (stunk in battle), Dragonair (used before shiny), Togekiss
Level 50: Luxray

GIVE ME TRAINING ADVICE PLEASE :D

Best answer:

Answer by Doomsday King
For a this team I recommend training at Mt. Silver. There are lvl 49-51 pokemon in there. Also bring a lot of and just use an escape rope do get out anytime or just use the TM move Dig. I think you're pokemon are a good match for these pokemon. (Hint: Moltres and Pkmn Trainer Red is in there)
