Missouri tax on collectibles
Missouri generally taxes collectibles gains under its graduated income-tax framework (Graduated income tax (top rate up to 4.8%)). This estimate applies the top modeled Missouri rate to remaining taxable gain.
Federal rules for collectibles: Long-term collectibles (art, many coins, certain metals) face a 28% federal ceiling instead of the usual 20% LTCG cap. Short-term collectibles still use ordinary rates. Holding period still matters for LTCG vs STCG except where a longer QSBS or real-estate test applies.

Long-term collectibles use a 28% federal ceiling, not the 20% long-term cap. The 3.8% NIIT can still stack when income is high enough. Short-term collectibles stay on ordinary rates.
Missouri is modeled as graduated income tax with a top rate up to 4.8% on taxable capital gain. That top rate is what the state line uses, not a separate Missouri long-term schedule.
Federal 0%, 15%, and 20% brackets are computed first. Missouri’s 4.8% top rate is then applied to the taxable gain that remains after those federal asset rules. A filer in a lower Missouri bracket can owe less than this top-rate estimate.
