Sales Tax Exemption Sought

News

A grass root effort is underway to exempt purchases of coins and precious metals from Minnesota sales tax. This effort has been undertaken to safeguard consumers; prevent large amounts of revenue from leaving Minnesota; and to create more jobs for Minnesotans.

Minnesota law maker Mary Kiffmeyer has provided support for HF-1107 and SF-1944 – the bills in front of the legislature for consideration.

There are currently 30 other states that have exemptions for investors looking to purchase coins, currencies and precious metals. One of these states, Michigan, has had a sales tax exemption in place for the past 10 years. In that ten year period the coin and precious metals industry in Michigan has experienced dramatic business growth resulting in more jobs and more revenue for the state.

A great number of people believe Minnesota can benefit with these exemptions like so many other states are doing, but they need your help. Please call or email your legislator and tell them you are in favor of HF-1107 and SF-1944 to exempt sales tax on your purchases of coins, currencies and precious metals.

Security Tips sited by the Federal Trade Commission

News

When you’re buying from an online retailer or an auction website, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—the nation’s consumer protection agency—wants you to keep these shopping tips in mind:

  1. Know who you’re dealing with. Confirm the online seller’s physical address and phone number so you can contact them if you have questions or problems.
  2. Know exactly what you’re buying. Read the seller’s description of the product closely, especially the fine print. Some name-brand items with “too good to be true” prices may even be counterfeits.
  3. Comparison-shop. Check out Web sites that offer price comparisons on similar items from different manufacturers or different Web sites.
  4. Check the privacy policy. The company’s privacy policy should let you know what personal information they are collecting, why, and how it’s going to be used.
  5. Pay with a credit card. It offers you the most protection as a consumer.
  6. Use a secure browser. Look for an unbroken key or padlock at the bottom of your Web browser window to ensure that your transmission is protected.
  7. Consider shipping and handling costs. Factor these into the cost of the order, and choose the delivery option that best meets your needs and budget.
  8. Print records of your online transactions. Save the product description and price, the online receipt and copies of every e-mail you send or receive from the seller.
  9. Understand the return policy before you buy. Can you return the item for a full refund if you’re not satisfied with it? If you return it, are you required to pay shipping costs or a restocking fee?
  10. Check delivery dates. An FTC rule requires sellers to ship items when they say they will or within 30 days after the order date when no specific date is promised.
  11. If you feel you’ve been misled or deceived, file a complaint online at www.ftc.gov.

Testimonials

To American Rare Coins and Collectibles:

 

I have done business with you on three occasions, both directly and indirectly. I have found your people to be pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. In short, you are easy to do business with. I tend to research and study anything that involves my money. There are many companies in the Twin Cities that make claims about “best prices” and “trusted and respected people”. In my opinion, American Rare Coins and Collectibles is one of the few local companies in your business that can honestly make those claims. Your web site is extremely informative and all of your people that I have met are willing to help one understand it. In the business of coins and precious metals American Rare Coins and Collectibles is the real deal.
