There was ~$70 of tax when I went to check out. I think that means there's state sales tax (Colorado 2.9%), but not city/county sales tax.

I'm not seriously considering buying this, but I'm kind of curious how sales tax works on a gold coin. Ostensibly this is an investment, which wouldn't normally have sales tax, but it's also a physical good, which would normally have sales tax.

Ah these naysayers... Well, more for savvy buyers since these sell out quickly. Smilie

Well, I just bought another. I paid $2,380 on 4/24, and this, at $2,350 and after 4% CB at $2,256 is a bargain below spot! I ship them to family in CA or WA to avoid sales tax too.

The same coin in sealed packaging is selling for $2,433 on eBay as of 2:55 PM PDT. Out the door with 2% CB is $2,384. This deal after 4% CB is $2,256 and below spot at $2,319 as of 2:55 PM PDT. That's $128 cheaper and an unreal $63 below spot for sealed 2024 Can Maple!

That link is to the spot price of gold, the price established by the commodities exchanges in the USA and overseas for a contract order of raw gold, which I think is 100 oz bars per contract. The commodities traders buy and sell gold for their customers who need the metal or to make profits on the trade.

It's not minted gold where a government or private mint will press and stamp out a nice shiny coin with someone's face or an animal impressed on it. Those are what retail customers buy and pay a "premium" over the spot price because we aren't buying 100 oz bars of raw gold on the commodities exchanges. The free market of buyers and sellers arrives at a market price for the premium for minted coins and bars.

If you had to sell tomorrow what would you do? Fees? Price? How much to ship and insure the coin to you from California?

Sales depends on the laws in your state.

Some states charge sales tax, some states who recognize that gold is money (you don't pay sales tax on your dollars do you?) don't charge sales tax, some only charge sales tax on lower dollar amounts or non-government minted coins (called rounds).

I'd hate to even ask the question because it's not very nice, but I'm strictly asking as a collector/investor.

If King Charles III passes this year, this would be the only year that he would be on the coin. I would think the value of this coin would go up considering it would be the only year he's on it.

I'm curious as to what you guys think.

I've been buying gold coins/bars since 2013 and see them as a store of value (for thousands of years, mind you) and insurance against inflation/money printing. I will start selling for the 1st time when gold hits $3,000 to LCS (local coin shop) or large online dealers like APMEX. BTW - did y'all know gold was only about $20/oz 50 yrs ago when Nixon took USD out of gold standard?

Costoc sends the gold in UPS box that requires signature and insured shipping is free. That said, you may need to pay state sales tax (usually not local sales tax). So ship to friends and family in CA, WA or other state to avoid paying sales tax.

Quote from scottkeen :
Bullion dealers (and I'm sure Costco too) sell short positions immediately opposite their long position of buying the physical metal, thereby locking in a profit regardless if the spot price goes up or down.

Think of it like how bookies make money by taking bets from both sides.
Thanks. This makes much more sense than what was originally said.

$65.34 BELOW spot with 4% off (visa and executive member). The value of buying with visa is probably another 0.87% if you buy on first day of billing period 53 days from purchase to due date, so actually $86 below spot.
Also, since the price is over $2k, there is no sales tax in many states.
This is the new standard for gold purchase.
