On Nov 3, 2026, 31 mints and refiners had products in stock at our store; PAMP had the most (43, in gold, silver and platinum).

How we measure premiums

Premium over spot = our check/wire price ÷ (the Ask spot price × the piece's fine metal content) − 1. A 1 oz gold coin at $4,200 when the gold Ask is $4,000 an ounce carries a 5% premium. Card and PayPal payments add 5% to the check/wire price.

  • Check or bank wire

    The price the premium is measured on

The Ask spot is the price level dealers quote when you buy metal; it sits a little above the bid quoted on trading screens. We measure from the Ask because it is the buying side of the market, the same basis our live price pages show. Today's numbers use the Ask at the time our prices were last updated.

History comes from one record per product per day since Oct 27, 2024: our daily price snapshots, and before them our recorded prices, each against the spot price it was set from and converted to the Ask the same way as today's numbers, so today and history compare like with like. Days before a product's definition changed (a single coin relisted as a tube, for example) are left out.

Charts show a 14-day rolling median; the dashed line is the 2-year median. A dot marks the day we lowered our premium on a product, when the lower premium still stands today, and the shaded band runs from that day to today.

"Lower than on X% of days since …" compares today's premium with every day of the product's own history (bid basis on both sides); for a group, it is the median of its products' own figures. It appears only when today is lower than on at least 51% of those days, and for a group only when its typical premium today is not above its 2-year median. Products need 90 days of history for their own figure.

Rows compare one size with the same size from other mints and refiners; sizes are never mixed. A maker's row covers all of its products of that size in stock, including collector issues (counted in the "In stock" column); "Generic (various)" holds unbranded and random-brand listings. Each row's 2-year median is the median of its products' own 2-year medians. The mint ladder and the heat map use the same rows: the dot (or cell) is the typical premium today and the tick the 2-year median; heat-map shading runs on a log scale within each metal. A maker card's lowest premium covers all of its sizes in that metal, and its chart is the 14-day median of the size we stock most from it.

Premiums move with supply and demand, and smaller pieces cost more per ounce to make. Past premiums don't predict future ones. This is information about our prices, not investment advice.

Common questions about premiums

What is a premium over spot?

It is what a coin, bar or round costs above the value of the metal in it, to cover making, distributing and selling it. We show it as a percentage of that metal value.

Why is the premium measured over the Ask?

The Ask is the buying side of the market: the price level dealers quote when you buy metal, a little above the bid quoted on trading screens. It is also the basis our live price pages use, so the numbers match.

  • Selling to us

Why do smaller coins and bars cost more per ounce?

Making, packing and handling a piece cost much the same whatever it weighs, so on a small piece they are a larger share of the metal's value. That is why 1 gram and 1/10 oz gold pieces carry far more than kilo bars; the By size view shows it for every format.

Why do premiums change?

They move with supply and demand for each product and with what mints and refiners charge us. We also review our own premiums; a dot on a chart marks a day we lowered one. Past premiums don't predict future ones.

Is the premium all I pay on top of the metal?

No. You pay the check/wire price shown on the product, which already includes the premium; card and PayPal add 5%. Shipping and any sales tax are extra.
