Bullion Price Check

Look up state sales tax rules on gold, silver, platinum or palladium bullion in any US state or DC. Give a 2-letter state code (or name) and optional metal, product_type (coin or bar) and sale amount in USD to evaluate dollar thresholds. Returns status, plain-English explanation, threshold logic, official state source URL, and last_reviewed date. General information, not tax advice.

Returns 0–100 relative search-interest scores (NOT search volume, unit sales, demand, or price forecasts) and always reports the data age (as_of, data_age_days, observation_age_days, stale, freshness).
