Buying Gold and Silver in Oakland, California

Oakland is the eighth-largest city in California and the trade center of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Port of Oakland is also the busiest port in the San Francisco Bay. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many people from San Francisco migrated to Oakland which led to further development and setting up of new businesses in this city. It offers a thriving automobile manufacturing industry apart from the flourishing ports and shipyards. Other major contributors to the economy of Oakland are healthcare, household product manufacturing companies, and dot-com companies. Some of the must-see places in Oakland are the Jack London Square, Lake Merritt, Oakland Museum of California, Chabot Space and Science Center, Children’s Fairyland, Oakland Zoo, Grand Lake Theater, Oakland Aviation Museum, Lake Temescal, Pardee Home, Oakland California Temple, Berkeley Hills, Port of Oakland, and many more.

Some reputed precious metal bullion dealers are also housed in Oakland, providing a great choice of coins and bullion as well as other collectibles. However, remember that there is a 7.25% sales tax that the State of California levies on sales of any bullion or coins that is lesser than $1500 in a single transaction. Along with this tax, there is an additional local sales tax that varies from city to city inside the state and can be as high as 9%. Being an out of state retailer, Bullion Exchanges does not charge sales taxes on any purchases made by California residents. However, it is always better to check with a tax professional before making any purchase, as we are no tax policy experts.
