Buy gold direct from collectors and independent dealers — Gold Eagles, Buffalos, Maple Leafs, bars and fractional gold. Because sellers price their own inventory, premiums differ on identical items: compare the price per troy ounce against the live gold spot price shown below, then make an offer, bid, or buy now.
Ending soonest in gold
Gold is priced from the live spot price per troy ounce plus a premium — and the premium, not the spot price, is where you actually save or overpay.
A one-ounce sovereign coin carries a higher premium than a one-ounce bar of the same purity, and fractional pieces (1/10, 1/4, 1/2 oz) carry the most per ounce, because the minting cost is spread over less metal.
Listings come from collectors and independent dealers rather than one retailer's inventory, so identical items sit at different prices. Compare a few before buying, and check the seller's Metal Points — earned on delivered sales and positive reviews, and lost on bad ones.
Sellers who accept offers will negotiate, and some run auctions instead. If a piece is close to what you want to pay, sending an offer costs nothing.
Pricing, payment, shipping and disputes
Sellers set their own prices. Many price directly off the live gold spot price with a fixed premium or discount, so their listings move with the market; others set a flat price. The live spot price used across the site is shown at the top of this page.
Yes, on any listing where the seller has enabled offers. Send your offer from the listing page and the seller can accept, decline or counter. Some sellers also run auctions, where you bid instead.
Every order is covered by PeerMetals buyer protection, and funds are only released to the seller after delivery. Each seller shows Metal Points and a rating built from their completed order history, so you can see their track record before you buy.
Shipping is set per seller and shown on every listing before checkout — many offer free shipping, marked with a badge on the card. Buying several items from one seller lets you request combined shipping.
Bank transfer (ACH), card, digital wallets including Link, Cash App and Amazon Pay, and crypto. Bank transfer carries the lowest processing fee — 0.8%, capped at $5 per order — which is why prices are shown at the bank-transfer total.
Open a case from your order in the resolution centre. The seller is notified and PeerMetals support reviews the tracking and photographs, so a payment can be held while it is sorted out rather than released on delivery.
Yes. Add them to your cart and ask the seller about combined shipping — most will merge the parcels into one label, so you pay postage once rather than per item.
How to buy and what moves the price

Gold went from a legally fixed $35/oz to a freely floating price only in 1971 -- and has since crossed $1,000, then $2,000, then more than doubled again since 2023. The full arc, milestone by milestone, sourced to Macrotrends' 100-year gold price dataset.
