I'm fairly sure that under U.S. tax law, you must pay a tax on the fair market value of the item received. So if I pay you a gold coin worth $1000, you must pay a tax on $1000, not the face value of the coin. Further appreciation of the coin would be subject to capital gains treatment when the coin is transferred.
