What you pay compared with spot
Spot is the wholesale price of one troy ounce of pure gold. A troy ounce is 31.1 grams, a little heavier than the 28.35 gram ounce used for food, and it is the standard unit for precious metals.
The price of a coin or bar is spot multiplied by its metal content, plus a premium. Our store prices are recalculated from the live spot price, so what you see in the cart moves with the market until you place the order. Once the order is placed, the price is locked as long as payment arrives within the time allowed for your payment method.
Prices go down as well as up. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

Gold price FAQs
What is the gold spot price?
It is the current market price for one troy ounce of pure gold traded for immediate delivery. It comes from trading on the big wholesale markets, mainly London and the COMEX futures exchange in New York, and moves through the trading day.
How do I work out the price per gram?
Divide the per-ounce price by 31.1035, the number of grams in a troy ounce. The table on this page does that for you and updates with the live price.
Why do coins and bars cost more than spot?
Each product sells for spot plus a premium that covers refining, minting, distribution and the dealer's costs. Premiums per ounce are usually lower on larger bars and higher on small bars and government-minted coins.
Does the gold price change on weekends?
Gold trades from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon, US Eastern time. Over the weekend the price stays at the last traded level until markets reopen.
How often does this page update?
