The price of gold and silver, today.
The live international price, converted to euros per gram, with charts going back up to twenty years. And below, what the quote does not tell you: what you really pay when you buy.
Source: international spot price (gold-api.com), monthly closes of the COMEX gold and silver futures and the ECB exchange rate. Prices per troy ounce or per gram. For information only, not an offer to buy or sell.
What you really pay.
The figure above is the price at which large deals are done between banks and refineries. When you buy a piece, you pay a few more things. Knowing them is what separates a good purchase from a bad one.
The premium
The cost of making the piece, moving it and the margin of whoever sells it. In percentage terms it is higher the smaller the piece, and it rises when demand for physical metal is strong. We explain it in the gold premium.
VAT on silver
Investment gold is exempt from VAT. Silver is not: it pays 21%, and that VAT is not recovered when you sell. That is why silver needs more room to run. More in investment gold and VAT.
The buy-back
The day you sell, a professional buyer will pay you below the quoted price. Always ask how much they would buy it back for today: that figure is the real premium you are paying.
Custody
Keeping gold at home is a risk and a worry. Professional custody, in your name and insured, has a cost worth knowing beforehand, not afterwards. We compare the options in where to keep physical gold.
Three questions before you pay.
How much is it per gram of fine metal, all in?
Total price, VAT included if it applies, divided by the grams of pure gold or silver in the piece. Compared against the quote at the same moment.
What is included and what is extra?
Transport, insurance, custody, certificate. Ask for a fixed price in writing before you pay anything.
How much would you buy it back for today?
If they will not tell you, or the gap is wide, you already have your answer.
Physical metal in your name, with a clear price.
We do not sell gold from a catalogue. We study your case, tell you which format suits you and fix the price in writing, everything included, before you pay.
In your name
Investment bars and coins with an invoice and certificate in your name. Yours, not a bank's and not a fund's.
Insured custody
Stored at Loomis, insured and in your name. You can withdraw it or sell it whenever you want.
Fixed price in writing
The day's quote, premium and custody in a single figure, before you pay. No surprises later.
Regular purchases
If you prefer to go step by step, a fixed amount every month buys more grams when the price falls and fewer when it rises. A real case in buying gold every month.
What metal has done for our clients.
Real, anonymised capital gains of clients in physical gold and silver, with dates and figures. They do not guarantee future results: any investment in real assets carries risk, including the possible loss of capital.
About the price of gold and silver.
If your question is not here, we answer it in the first consultation, free of charge.
The live price refreshes every minute. The intraday chart every five minutes, and the historical charts every day.
Because the quote is the price of the metal on the wholesale market. When you buy a piece you also pay the premium (fabrication, distribution and margin) and, for silver, VAT.
The troy ounce, the one used for precious metals, is 31.1035 grams.
Nobody times the bottom. For someone buying gold as a store of value over years, the total price paid with everything included matters more than the exact day. Regular purchases spread that risk.
Transactions of €1,000 or more cannot be paid in cash and the seller identifies you. We explain it in buying gold with cash. The invoice in your name is also your proof of the purchase price when you sell.
