Learn MoreThe spread or premium represents the price of a certain gold or silver product over gold’s or silver’s spot price (for example, a 1-ounce gold coin might cost $2,150 even if gold’s spot price is $2,000). Gold investors typically pay a 3-15% premium on gold’s spot price in addition to transaction costs. Spreads and premiums can skyrocket during supply chain disruptions and times of high demand. This is even more prevalent in the physical silver market. Vaulted investors do not need to worry about these issues.
