New York

The State of New York mandates the imposition of sales taxes on certain items sold by Pinehurst Coins and shipped to an New York address. It is imperative to collect these taxes on (1) copper products; (2) bullion products if the sale amount does not exceed $1,000; (3) bullion products if the sale amount exceeds $1,000, and such bullion products are further manufactured, processed, assembled, or fabricated by the buyer; (4) bullion items are subject to different pricing when the sales amount surpasses $1,000, with the final price influenced by factors beyond their metal content; (5) accessory items; and (6) 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 New York:

Bullion. Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or a blend of these metals in the form of bars, ingots, or commemorative medallions, whose worth is determined by their metal content rather than their physical shape.
Sale Amount. Determined per invoice and not on a line-item basis.
Price Paid. The price paid is considered to reflect the metal content when it does not surpass either the daily closing bullion cash price of the metal or the face value of the coins at prevailing exchange rates, with the following percentages applied: (a) for silver coins, 140%; (b) for gold coins weighing one-quarter ounce or less, 120%; or (c) for other coins, including gold coins weighing more than one-quarter ounce, 115%. For bars, rounds, or ingots, the price paid is deemed to be based on their metal content if it does not exceed 115% of the bullion cash price of the metals.
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 New York are calculated at checkout on the Pinehurst Coins website based on (1) the taxation status of items vended by Pinehurst Coins in New York as delineated earlier, and (2) the particular tax rates set by the taxing jurisdiction at the delivery location in New York.
