Pricing Methodology
Transparent pricing you can trust. Learn how we calculate prices and the complete quote-to-order process.
Important Pricing Notice
Prices displayed on our website are indicative and subject to market volatility. All quotes are non-binding and may change without notice until order confirmation and payment in full. Posted prices should be considered reference prices only.
Price Components
Spot Price
The current market price per troy ounce, sourced from global precious metals markets. This price fluctuates continuously during market hours.
Contemporaneous Cost (CC)
Our acquisition cost, which includes the spot price plus our sourcing premium. We source directly from LBMA-accredited refiners when possible to minimize this cost.
Commission
Our service fee, which varies by product weight and type. Larger purchases typically have lower commission rates per ounce.
Volume Discounts
Our commission rates decrease with larger order sizes. Contact our metals desk for custom quotes on bulk purchases exceeding $50,000.

Send payment via wire transfer or check before the price lock expires. Your price is guaranteed once payment is received.
