They say everything is bigger in Texas – and this extends to their coin shops. The Houston area is home to some of the biggest and most reputable coin and precious metal bullion dealers in the country. Both the city itself and the surrounding suburbs offer many different options for buying coins and silver rounds locally.

When buying from a Houston coin shop, remember that an 8.25% sales tax applies to all purchases unless you are buying at least $1,000 worth at once. Purchases of coins and bullion totalling $1,000 or more are exempt from this tax. If you are buying U.S. coins, like the American Silver Eagle, you can subtract the face value from the transaction total when calculating the taxes due. If you are planning to buy from a Houston coin shop, it may be wise to purchase in bulk, if you can, to avoid the tax.

Here are some of the top coin shops in Houston:
