Market insights
The numbers stackers actually watch — the gold-to-silver ratio, how premium erodes with weight, and how much shopping around really saves. Live from the latest scrape.
Gold-to-silver ratio
One ounce of gold currently trades for about 74 ounces of silver. The modern era mostly ranges 45–90; historical extremes run ~15 (1980) to ~125 (2020). Shown for context only — not a signal to buy or sell.
The national debt
At today's spot, the entire national debt equals roughly 10.0 billion ounces of gold — the kind of number that draws people to hard assets in the first place. Figures from the U.S. Treasury; shown for context only, not a prediction or advice.
Premium erodes as weight grows
The lowest premium over spot at each weight. Small pieces cost far more above spot — the premium shrinks fast as you size up. This is why weight matters more than any single coin.
What shopping around saves
The gap between the cheapest and priciest dealer on the same 1 oz product, right now.
