Whether gold and silver bullion or coins are taxed at the point of sale varies a lot by state — some fully exempt it, some only above a dollar threshold, some only if the metal meets a purity or legal-tender test, and Washington now taxes it after repealing its exemption in 2026. Pick your state for the details.
