Just for the heck of it, I did some further research on the CT government

Sec. 12-412. Exemptions.Taxes imposed by this chapter shall not apply to
the
gross receipts from the sale of and the storage, use or other consumption
in this state
with respect to the following items:
(45) Gold or silver bullion, legal tender of any nation, rare and antique
coins.Sales of and the storage or use of rare or antique coins, gold or
silver bullion and gold
or silver legal tender of any nation, traded according to its value as
precious metal,
provided such exemption shall not be applicable with respect to any such
sale, storage
or use in which the total value of such bullion or legal tender sold by
the retailer is less
than one thousand dollars.
So, your $1450 purchase should NOT have had the sales tax imposed, just as
you stated. Now what recourse you have is another question. Perhaps you
could inquire with your host, or at the Mohegan Shops business office. Good
luck - maybe you can get your $87 back.
Last sentence says "less than one thousand dollars", so the $1,450 would be
taxable.
