In the entire United States there is a Federal Capital Gains Tax which applies to all of the profits you make from the sale of precious metals. Bear in mind that this tax only comes into effect when you actually sell those metals—not when you hold onto them. The total tax rate depends on your personal income, but there is a maximum federal tax of 28% across the country. For many income brackets, it is significantly less.

The state of Tennessee lies to the east of the Appalachian Mountains. The capital is Music City Nashville, but the largest city, edging Nashville by just 50,000 people or so, is Memphis, which has its own legendary status.
Tennessee has a rich history when it comes to country, blues and soul music, with cities like Memphis and Nashville considered to be at the very heart of the blues and country genres. Memphis is also home to Graceland, which is a must-see for all fans of The King, and indeed for all fans of early blues and rock n’ roll. Nashville is just as vibrant, just as interesting and just as rich in culture, with these two cities providing everything that a music lover could hope for.
Tennessee has a strong GDP, with companies such as FedEx headquartered here and with a powerful agricultural sector.
