What products does Bullion Trading LLC offer?
Investment coins, bars and rounds in four metals, from a 1 gram gold bar to a 100 oz silver bar, plus a smaller range of gifts, collectibles and casting grain.
| Metal | In stock | Coins, rounds and bars | Lowest price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | 118 | 48 coins, 69 bars, 1 other | $163.70 |
| Silver | 108 | 44 coins, 17 rounds, 43 bars, 4 other | $29.87 |
| Platinum | 10 | 3 coins, 5 bars, 2 other | $1,515.11 |
| Palladium | 1 | 1 bar | $1,164.54 |
Gold and silver make up most of the range: government coins such as the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf and South African Krugerrand, bars from refiners such as PAMP Suisse, Valcambi and Asahi, and random-brand bars, which usually cost the least over spot. Every product page shows the check/wire price with the card/PayPal price under it, and prices move with spot through the day.
Widely traded pieces in stock
The large price is the check/wire price; the card/PayPal price is listed under it. Prices follow the live spot price.
How are prices set?
Each product’s check/wire price is the spot price of the metal it contains plus a premium set in dollars for that product, so prices move with spot through the day and small pieces carry a larger premium per ounce. Take the 1 oz Gold Krugerrand on 3 November 2026: its check/wire price was $4,035.75, 1.6% over the gold Ask, and the card/PayPal price was $4,237.54. The price is locked when you confirm the order.
How do you place an order online?
Add products to the cart, choose a payment method at checkout and confirm; the order ships once payment arrives.
Checkout opens an account if you don’t have one. Once the order is confirmed, the price is locked and the order cannot be canceled: under the Market Loss Policy in the Terms and conditions, a canceled order is settled at the current price, and the buyer pays any loss plus a $35 fee. To order by phone or ask first, call 646-362-3536 during store hours.
Which payment methods are accepted, and what do they cost?
Card and PayPal cost 5% more than the check/wire price and go up to $7,500; wire and check start at $1,000 and need a temporary 10% hold on a card (up to $20,000) until the money arrives.| Payment | Price | Order size | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover | Check/wire price + 5% | Up to $7,500 | Billing and shipping addresses must match |
| PayPal | Check/wire price + 5% | Up to $7,500 | Billing and shipping addresses confirmed |
| Bank wire | Check/wire price | From $1,000 | Due in 3 business days; 10% card hold until it arrives |
| Check | Check/wire price | From $1,000 | Mail within 2 business days; 10% card hold; clears in up to 10 business days |
The higher card price covers card and PayPal processing; the credit card guide weighs it against rewards. Wires must come from a U.S. bank in the buyer’s name (international wires are refused under the store’s anti-money-laundering program), an ACH transfer is not a wire, and money orders and cash-advance checks are not accepted.
How does shipping work, and where does it ship?
Orders under $1,000 ship by USPS for $10; from $1,000 they ship by FedEx with an adult signature for $10, or free to a FedEx location for pickup. Packages are insured until the carrier confirms delivery, packed without any sign of what is inside, and tracked by email. The store ships only to U.S. addresses, and wire-paid orders can be picked up free at the store; card and PayPal orders cannot.
Two checks protect buyers and the store. A first order of $1,000 or more paid by card goes to the nearest FedEx location for pickup with photo ID, and a check can take up to 10 business days to clear before the order ships. Checkout also follows state bullion tax rules: a bullion order must reach $1,000 for Maryland and New York and $2,000 for California, the amounts at which those states exempt bullion from sales tax. Under its current rules, checkout does not ship bullion to New Jersey, where it would be taxable; buyers there can call about delivery options. Our beginner’s guide to buying gold and silver maps the bullion tax rule in every state.
When the package arrives, check the seal before you sign, compare the contents with the invoice, and keep bars in their sealed assay cards: a bar still in its card resells for more.
What should you know before buying platinum or palladium online?
That they cost more over spot than gold, swing harder, and come in a smaller range. In our price records since 27 October 2024, 1 oz platinum bars cost a median 8.3% over the Ask, platinum coins 13.8% and the 1 oz palladium bar 16.9%, against 2.7% for 1 oz gold coins.
Both are mainly industrial metals: in the United States their leading use is in catalytic converters, and South Africa mined about 71% of the world’s platinum in 2025 while Russia and South Africa mined about 81% of its palladium, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates. Platinum is 49% below its record of $2,811 on 26 January 2026 and palladium 68% below its record of $3,015 on 7 March 2022, in LBMA prices and later New York closes. Platinum and palladium bars of 99.95% purity and the American Platinum Eagle are IRA-eligible (they meet IRS fineness rules under 26 U.S.C. § 408(m)); hold them through an IRS-approved custodian. Bullion Trading LLC is not a custodian; it sells metal for IRAs at its regular retail prices, arranged through your custodian.

Business Insider profiled Isaac Kahan as the owner of Bullion Trading LLC in the Diamond District in May 2025, and The Wall Street Journal reported in April 2026 that the store sells about $1 million in gold a day. Customer reviews, and any complaints with the company’s replies, are on the BBB profile. Scammers sometimes use real dealers’ names, so if anyone contacts you offering metal in our name, call the number above before paying; our guide to gold scams shows the usual patterns.
Can you return an order or sell it back?
Returns and exchanges are accepted within 7 days of delivery, with a 10% restocking fee, and the buyer pays return shipping. Selling back is separate: the store buys bullion coins, bars and rounds at its counter, with no appointment and a government photo ID, or by insured mail from any state, and pays by same-day check, wire or Zelle; see selling to us and today’s buy prices. It buys back what it sells in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, including world gold bullion coins, pre-1933 U.S. gold coins ($20, $10 and $5), British Sovereigns, the collector coins it carries, 90% silver coins and Morgan and Peace dollars; it does not buy casting grain or any other grain, jewelry or scrap, and the minimum sale is $1,000.
How this page stays current
Product counts, prices, payment limits, the card hold, shipping costs and state minimums are read from the store’s catalog and checkout settings and refreshed at least hourly, so they match checkout. The premium chart uses the check/wire prices the store records about four times a day since 27 October 2024, divided by each day’s spot value of the metal and converted to the Ask the same way as today’s figures; platinum and palladium have fewer products, so their medians rest on less data. Returns, cancellations and payment deadlines come from the Terms page.
The bottom line
Ordering online from Bullion Trading LLC works like any careful bullion purchase: compare the check/wire price, pay by wire or check from $1,000 to avoid the 5% card price, remember the price locks when you confirm, and check the credentials above before your first order.
