The rule, as Alaska writes it

Alaska levies no statewide sales tax, so there is no state bullion rule to apply. Local government is where it bites: roughly 110 of Alaska’s 162 municipalities levy their own sales tax, from 1% to 7%, and state law leaves each of them wide discretion over what is taxable — so a local rate can still apply depending on where the order is delivered.

What this page cannot tell you

Whether tax is actually charged depends on the dealer, not only on where you live: a retailer collects sales tax in states where they have nexus.

Local city and county rates stack on top of any state rate shown here, and several exemptions cover investment bullion but not jewellery or collectibles sold well above melt.
