Data & coverage

How we source prices, how often each dealer updates, and whether the spot market is even open right now. We track this so our scrapes stay coordinated with reality — and so you can see exactly how fresh each number is.

Several familiar storefronts share a corporate parent. See our online bullion dealer ownership map →

Updates = how a dealer sets prices (live against spot, a periodic feed, or manual). Method = how we read them. Measured cadence = the share of a dealer's prices that actually changed between our scrapes, averaged over the runs we've observed. Prices are cash/wire basis; premiums use the spot quote captured with each dealer price. See about & disclaimer →
