Compare precious metal prices: gold, silver, platinum and palladium
We follow every route to one troy ounce at 14 dealers and convert it to what you actually pay per ounce. Below, the ten cheapest routes per metal; the full board is one click away.
Delivered is this one route to the Netherlands, with the shipping costs the shop publishes itself; ordering more in one go often shifts that. The ranking is by price per troy ounce, not by the delivered amount: a shop that publishes no rate would otherwise win by saying nothing. More in the disclaimer.

Bigger is cheaper per ounce, but less divisible. You sell a kilo bar in one go, at one rate, at one moment. With ten separate 1/10 coins you can step out bit by bit. That difference is exactly what you pay for in the premium.
