These taxes must be collected on (1) any bullion that is in the form of a bar, ingot or round that is made of copper; (2) any coins that are not, or previously were not used solely as a medium of exchange in the United States or any foreign country; (3) any coins that may have been or are currently used as a medium of exchange but are sold based on its value as a medium of exchange rather than its intrinsic value; (4) accessory items; and (5) processed items.  All other products sold by Silver.com are exempt from these taxes.

The following definitions apply to products on which taxes must be collected in Mississippi:

• Bullion. Precious metal that is valued solely upon its precious metal content, whether in coin, round, or bar form.
• Coin. A small, flat, round piece of metal which is, or has been used as legal tender, with a number showing its value and often a decorative picture.
• Medium of Exchange. Coins or currency that are acceptable as a measure of value and a standard of exchange for goods and services.
• Accessory Items. Items such as holders, tubes, coin flips, and apparel.
• Processed Items. Precious metals that have been processed by third parties into items that are valued on more than their precious metal content, such as statues or colorized coins.
