Coin collection

The sale of your coin collection would be a sale of a capital asset reportable on IRS Schedule D. It would fall into the category of collectibles and be taxed at a maximum rate of 28%. Certain newly minted silver or gold coins issued by the government qualify for the lower 20% maximum capital gains rate even though they are considered collectibles.
