what states charge sales tax on coins?

I am curious -
I am watching a auction now -
18% buyers premium
6% sales tax
extra if shipping needed (through shipping company)
I really need to rethink my MAX bids

I know that Illinois and Arizona have never charged me tax. I also think it's the same way with New Mexico and Iowa.
Yeh, kind of some pretty random states to know this, but whatever.
NOT charge you a sales tax. Nevada has sales tax on coins, and so does California, but not when sold
outside of the state lines.
So, unless you are in the state that the seller is in, there should be no sales tax. He does not have to
collect the tax and forward to the state if sold outside of his state.

The People's Republic of Maine never saw a tax that it didn't love, which is why we are the number 1 most heavily taxed state in the union. Fortunately, we don't host too many large coin shows or coin auctions, because the tax man has been known to frequent coin shows to monitor sales. Large coin shows and coin auctions should only be held in states that exempt state sales tax on coin purchases, in my opinion.
also if a state does not charge for out of state sales - many resident states require - USE TAX - for items purchased in other states
so back to the question - what states charge sales tax on coins, or do all states charging sales tax, require it on coins/bullion
the auction was in Pennsylvania - when they got to the coin section, they said no sales tax on coins but there is sales tax on currency - they had 2 lots with mixed and needed to charge sales tax on them
