The rule, as Colorado writes it

Colorado exempts coins and precious-metal bullion under C.R.S. 39-26-706, covering state, RTD/CD, county and state-collected local taxes. Bullion qualifies when refining leaves its value dependent on metal content rather than form. Home-rule cities administer their own sales taxes and do not always follow the state exemption. A 2026 bill proposed ending the exemption from 1 January 2027; that language did not pass, but it makes this a rule worth re-checking rather than assuming.

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.
