    Other option.. take your silver overseas and sell it there. How would that work out?
    I dunno much about taxs.
    Sorry that does not work. The IRS says anything that was bought for self use is not something you can add as a company or self working pay so because it was used in your house for home use it can't be counted as a taxable item. On top of that the IRS says if you want to get tax credit you have to have accounting on the items use (from truck to a hand tool) and each year the item value is less due to it getting older, after it hits it "max term" in short...you can no longer have it as a company costs. So.....doing something like that is begging for a audit...an they will be in your **** like flys to poop.
