Pennsylvania does not levy a sales tax on the sale or purchase of bullion and investment coins, including gold, silver, and other precious metal bullion and numismatic (collector) coins. However, while Pennsylvania state laws provide these tax advantages, federal laws and regulations still apply to the sale and purchase of bullion and investment coins. These regulations often concern anti-money laundering rules and require dealers to report certain high-value transactions.
As always, consulting with a financial advisor or legal professional is important to fully understand the legal obligations when buying or selling bullion coins. For the most current information, it’s best to verify with Pennsylvania’s official state tax or treasury department.
