The basics
What is the “spot price”?
The going price for one troy ounce of the metal traded in bulk right now. It’s the benchmark everything else is based on.
Why does a coin cost more than spot?
Dealers add a premium on top of spot to cover making, storage and their margin. When you sell, they usually pay a bit under spot for the same reason.
What’s a troy ounce?
The unit precious metals are priced in. One troy ounce is 31.1 grams, a little heavier than the everyday ounce (28.35 g).
What does purity mean?
Jewellery is rarely pure gold. 24 carat is pure, 18 carat is 75% gold and 9 carat is 37.5%. Only the gold content counts towards the price.
