North Carolina law
Selling coins in Raleigh: what North Carolina requires
When you sell
North Carolina's precious-metals business rules exclude coins, numismatic items, medals, medallions, tokens, art ingots and art bars from their definition of precious metal. Covered purchases, such as qualifying jewelry or silverware, require seller identification and transaction records.
Covered items must be held without alteration or disposal for seven days after the transaction is reported.
When you buy
Investment metal bullion is exempt from North Carolina sales and use tax. It must be refined precious metal valued for its metal content rather than its form.
North Carolina exempts qualifying investment coins and non-coin currency from sales and use tax. Investment coins include U.S. and foreign metal coins whose market value exceeds their statutory or nominal value.
Who licenses dealers
Businesses making purchases covered by the precious-metals business rules need a permit from the appropriate local law-enforcement agency for each location. Coins and other specified numismatic items are excluded from that part's definition; this does not establish an exemption from all local business or pawn rules.
