Sales Tax Law:

Colorado Department of Revenue states, “retail sales of coins and precious metal bullion are exempt from sales tax. This exemption applies to state, Regional Transportation District/Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, county and state-collected local taxes.”

“Coins” is defined as “monetized bullion or other forms of money manufactured from gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or other such metals now, in the future, or heretofore designated as a medium of exchange under the laws of this state, the United States, or any foreign nation.”
“Precious metal bullion” is defined as “any precious metal, including but not limited to gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, that has been put through a process of refining and is in such a state or condition that its value depends upon its precious metal content and not its form.”
The Colorado statute continues, “not all numismatic pieces are exempt. Precious metal bullion and coins that are or were at one time used as currency or medium of exchange in the United States or a foreign country (such as quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies) are exempt. However, numismatic pieces such as paper money, tokens, checks, wampum and similar items not specifically exempt from taxation do not fall under this exemption. Transactions involving the sale of jewelry and commemoratives continue to be taxable.”

NPMEX is required to collect tax on some items shipping to Colorado, however sales tax will not be charged for Gold, Silver, Platinum, or Palladium bullion items as they are exempt from sales tax when shipping to an Colorado address.

These taxes must be collected on (1) Copper products; (2) certain numismatic items; (3) accessory items; and (4) processed items. All other products sold by NPMEX are exempt from these taxes
