Does anyone know the reporting rules for US gold coins (Buffalos mostly) reporting? I find that sometimes when I buy coins (for cash), I'm asked to show a drivers license. Is this a state law? or Federal Law?

Thanks in advance ...

FinCen dropped the reporting to 5K IIRC.

Pawn Shops and the like typically need to get ID, hold items for a while and notify PD in case there is a stolen item report. Depending on local law, any kind of retail buyer of gold might be treated like a pawn shop.

It could also be a fraud protection / security choice by the business.

I suspect this.
