The rule, as Florida writes it
Florida exempts the sale of gold, silver or platinum bullion in a single transaction when the sales price EXCEEDS $500 — the threshold is exclusive, so a $500 order is taxable and $500.01 is not. Palladium is not named in the exemption. The dealer must document which part of a transaction is bullion.
The state rate is 6%. Local rates are charged on top of it and are not included here.

What this page cannot tell you
Whether tax is actually charged depends on the dealer, not only on where you live: a retailer collects sales tax in states where they have nexus.
Local city and county rates stack on top of any state rate shown here, and several exemptions cover investment bullion but not jewellery or collectibles sold well above melt.
