BUY GOLD AND SILVER IN ALASKA

Since the Klondike gold rush of 1896, the history of Alaska has been inexorably tied with gold mining. Gold mining is still big business in Alaska, from small placer and sluice operations, to large, well-financed mining companies. It has been estimated that over 40 million troy ounces of gold have been mined in Alaska (over 1,370 short tons). Partly due to the long association Alaska has had with gold, Alaska residents are heavy investors in gold and silver bullion. Despite the ties Alaska has had with precious metals, there are not very many gold and silver dealers in Alaska. Most are concentrated in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.

Alaska does not have a state sales tax, so investors who buy gold and silver bullion in Alaska do not have to pay any state taxes.
