Metals 101

What's the 'premium' on a coin or bar?

The amount you pay above the metal's spot value to cover minting, distribution and dealer margin. Small coins carry higher premiums per ounce than large bars.

Gold Mornings is an educational digest for US readers. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Metals carry risk β€” you can lose money, and past performance does not predict future results. Some links may be affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Prices via Yahoo Finance, captured each morning before the US open.
