The rule, as Michigan writes it

Michigan exempts sales of investment coins and bullion with no dollar threshold. The definitions are narrow: “bullion” covers gold, silver or platinum only — palladium is absent — and must be at least 900 parts per 1,000 fine. “Investment coins” must be issued by the US or a foreign government and worth more than face value.

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.
