Buying Gold and Silver in Northampton, Massachusetts

Northampton is a city that is situated along the Connecticut River. The Pocomtuc, Michigan, and the Nonotuck tribes previously resided in Northampton, and this area was bought from these natives in 1653. In 1883, Northampton was incorporated as a city and became the center for business activities. Northampton is popular for featuring arts. Twice a year, one of the most popular fairs in the country, the Paradise City Arts Festival, takes place in Northampton. Apart from these, there are several popular places to visit in Northampton like the Norwottuck Branch Rail Trail, Smith College Museum of Art, Manhan Rail Trail, Look Park, Mineral Hills Conservation Area, Rock Garden, etc.

An interesting piece of information for coin enthusiasts is that Northampton has a few PCGS and NGC authorized wholesale and retail precious metal dealers who offer a vast collection of various US and foreign coins, rare and ancient coins, bullion, etc. The Government of Massachusetts levies a 6.25% sales tax on purchases of any kind of precious metals. However, there is a sales tax exemption on rare coins of numismatic value, gold and silver bullion, and gold and silver legal tenders of the USA and other foreign countries, except for the South African Krugerrands and the Namibian coins. The tax exemption is only valid if the purchase is above $1000. Being an out-of-state retailer, Bullion Exchanges does not charge sales taxes on any purchases made by Massachusetts residents. However, it is always better to check with a tax professional before making any purchase, as we are no tax policy experts.
