Minnesota

The State of Minnesota mandates the imposition of sales taxes on certain items sold by Pinehurst Coins and shipped to a Minnesota address. It is imperative to collect these taxes on (1) copper products; (2) all coins; (3) precious metal bullion that does not meet certain purity requirements; (4) accessory items; and (5) processed items. All other products sold by Pinehurst Coins are exempt from these taxes.

The ensuing definitions pertain to products subject to tax collection in Minnesota:

Coins. A coin made of gold, silver, or other metal which is or has been used as legal tender.
Precious Metal Bullion. Any precious metal bullion not conforming to the definition of Precious Metal Bullion. Precious Metal Bullion is specifically described as “bars or rounds that consist of 99.9 percent or more by weight of either gold, silver, platinum, or palladium and are marked with weight, purity, and content.”
Accessory Items. Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.
Processed Items. Refined precious metals transformed by third parties into objects esteemed for qualities beyond their metal value, such as colorized coins or statues.

Sales taxes in Minnesota are calculated at checkout on the Pinehurst Coins website based on (1) the taxation status of items vended by Pinehurst Coins in Minnesota as delineated earlier, and (2) the particular tax rates set by the taxing jurisdiction at the delivery location in Minnesota.
