There's No Sales Tax On Silver Eagles At Gainesville Coins!
Discover the significant tax advantages when purchasing precious metals in Florida and nationwide
Introduction
Did you know that there is no sales tax on Silver Eagles, Gold Eagles, or junk silver at Gainesville Coins? Florida does not collect sales tax on U.S. currency or coins, and customers ordering from out of state pay no sales tax at all, even on foreign bullion or bars!
This significant tax advantage can substantially impact your precious metals investment returns. When you purchase Silver Eagles or other U.S. coins, you're not just getting premium precious metals—you're also maximizing your investment by avoiding unnecessary tax burdens that other states may impose.
Major Tax Advantage
Eliminating sales tax from your precious metals purchases can save you 6-10% compared to states that impose taxes on these investments. On a $10,000 silver purchase, this represents savings of $600-$1,000.

The Florida Tax Advantage
Florida's tax policy regarding precious metals creates a significant advantage for investors. By exempting U.S. currency and coins from sales tax, the state recognizes these items as monetary instruments rather than collectibles or commodities.
Legal Recognition
Florida law treats U.S. coins as legal tender, which exempts them from sales tax under currency exemption statutes. This legal framework provides long-term stability for precious metals investors.
Investment Benefits
Tax-free purchases mean your entire investment goes toward precious metals rather than tax obligations. This maximizes your exposure to silver price movements and potential appreciation.
Competitive Edge
Florida's tax policy gives precious metals investors a significant advantage over states that impose sales taxes on gold and silver purchases, creating immediate savings on every transaction.
Out-of-State Customer Benefits
Customers ordering from out of state enjoy even broader tax benefits. Not only do they pay no sales tax on U.S. coins, but they also avoid sales tax on foreign bullion and bars that might be taxable in their home states.
No Nexus Requirements
Out-of-state customers benefit from Florida's lack of physical presence requirements, meaning no sales tax applies regardless of the product type or value.
Foreign Bullion Included
Unlike many states that tax foreign gold and silver products, out-of-state customers pay no sales tax even on Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philharmonics, or generic bars.
Nationwide Advantage
This benefit extends to customers across all 50 states, creating a level playing field that prioritizes investment value over tax considerations when tracking gold market prices.
Additional Bullion Exemptions
In addition to U.S. coinage being tax-free, any bullion order over $500 that is purchased and received in Florida is also exempt from sales tax. This threshold makes precious metals investing more accessible for Florida residents.
$500 Threshold Benefits
The relatively low $500 threshold means that even modest precious metals purchases qualify for tax exemption. This makes it easier for new investors to begin building their portfolios without tax penalties, whether they're interested in silver accumulation or diversified precious metals holdings.
Accessibility
The $500 minimum is significantly lower than many states' thresholds, making tax-free precious metals investing accessible to a broader range of investors and collectors.
Flexibility
This exemption applies to various bullion products, including generic rounds, bars, and foreign government coins, providing flexibility in investment choices.
How We Compare to Other Dealers
Unlike some other big bullion dealers, Gainesville Coins has no minimum purchase level. We don't believe in forcing customers to make a $500 or $1500 order when they want to buy precious metals. All customers are treated with the same courtesy and care at Gainesville Coins.
No Minimum Purchases
Many large dealers require substantial minimum orders to access their best pricing or services. We believe every customer deserves quality service regardless of order size.
Equal Treatment
Whether you're buying a single Silver Eagle or building a large portfolio, you receive the same professional service, competitive pricing, and expert guidance.
Customer-First Approach
Our policies prioritize customer convenience and fairness over artificial barriers that might discourage new precious metals investors from getting started.
Fair Buyback Policies
We also have no minimum buy-back threshold. Tired of seeing a buy-back price, then finding out you have to sell them $10,000 worth of that coin to get that price? That's just crazy.
Industry Problem
Many dealers advertise attractive buyback prices but impose substantial minimum thresholds that make those prices inaccessible to most customers. This practice can trap smaller investors with poor liquidity options.
True Liquidity
Our buyback policies ensure that your precious metals maintain real liquidity value, regardless of quantity. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about your investment timing.
Fair Pricing
Quoted buyback prices apply to actual transactions, not just theoretical large-volume scenarios. This honesty builds trust and confidence in your precious metals investments.
