Buy Gold & Silver in California with Bank Wire or Bitcoin
California has the largest population of any US state and one of the highest household wealth concentrations — driving strong demand for inflation hedges. The Bay Area's high-net-worth tech concentration drives particular demand for larger gold bar purchases.
California Precious Metals Sales Tax
California exempts precious metals bullion transactions over $1,500 from sales tax (California Revenue & Taxation Code §6355). Orders under $1,500 are subject to California's base sales tax rate.
