The rule, as Indiana writes it

Indiana exempts US legal tender always, even when sold above face value. Coins and bullion beyond that are exempt only if they are permitted investments for an IRA under 26 U.S.C. §408(m), which imports that provision’s purity standards. Foreign coins are NOT legal tender for this purpose, so they must qualify through the IRA test instead.

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.
