Buying & Holding

Transparent Pricing

How do we get from the price of the underlying precious metal to your final contract note consideration?

Let's talk prices, costs and charges

We have deconstructed the 'all-in' prices often used by our competitors.  We wanted to show you how the underlying metal price, along with the manufacture, delivery, handling and commission charges all adds up.

Our pricing and charging structure is transparent, consistent and is governed by our terms of business.

The prices shown on our website include the premiums and discounts to the underlying spot metal price that we have negotiated from our suppliers for making and scrapping precious metals, but please note that they may be indicative and subject to a 15 minute delay to 'live' dealing prices.

We always transact in US Dollars, which is the currency used in the precious metals and commodity markets. You may fund your account in other currencies: we are able to convert amounts received on your behalf at institutional rates of foreign exchange, please contact us for details.


Please note that all prices shown are, owing to contractual obligations, delayed by 15 minutes and must be considered indicative and are not live dealing prices. Delivery costs below are for logistics to and from Guernsey vault.
