Buying Gold and Silver in Austin, Texas

Austin is the capital of the State of Texas and is the 11th most populated city in the USA. Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities among the 50 largest US cities. It is also the fourth largest city in Texas. In 1838, Austin was known as Waterloo and, in 1839, it was incorporated as a city. In honor of Stephen F. Austin, the founder of the Texas Republic, Waterloo was renamed as Austin in 1870. Austin had grown into a center for technology and business by the 1980s and is now home to headquarters and regional offices of several Fortune 500 companies like Apple, IBM, CISCO, Google, Oracle, Texas Instruments, eBay, Intel, and many more.

Austin is also known by the nickname “City of the Violet Crown,” because the hills of Austin have a colorful glow of light just after sunset. The city is famous for its stringent no-smoking policy which is nicknamed the “Clean-Air City.” Austin has been ranked as the second safest city in the USA by the FBI in 2012.
Some of the must-see places in Austin are the Texas State Capitol, Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, Bullock Texas State History Museum, Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Zilker Botanical Garden, McKinney Falls State Park, Texas Memorial Museum, Laguna Gloria, Austin Aquarium, Dick Nichols District Park, etc.

Austin also has many reputed precious metal wholesale and retail dealers which have an impressive inventory of US and world coins, rare and ancient coins, paper currency, and other collectibles. You can find a coin to complete your set or a lovely gift for friends and family at these places. Texas eliminated the sales tax on sales or purchases of gold, silver, platinum bullion, and numismatic coins starting in October 2013, encouraging investors and collectors. Being an out-of-state retailer, Bullion Exchanges does not charge sales taxes on any purchases made by Texas residents. However, it is always better to check with a tax professional before making any purchase, as we are no tax policy experts.
