NOTE: CA investor tax rules apply. For those of you that don’t already know, this means that any precious metal purchases are subject to CA sales tax (7.25%) up to $1,999. All purchases $2,000 and up are tax exempt. With this exemption, if you were to spend say $1,975 on a one ounce gold bar + tax this would be around $2,115 so… add a little silver to that purchase bringing it $2,015 and it’s like getting $140 in free silver.
