Methodology
- Prices are collected automatically from public dealer product pages (single-unit, lowest-cost payment method, usually check/wire) and stored with a timestamp.
- Spot prices come from gold-api.com at the time of each snapshot.
- Premium % = (dealer price − spot × troy oz) ÷ (spot × troy oz).
- Dealer averages include every stored price observation for that metal in the week; dealers that block automated access are not included.
- Shipping, tax and minimum orders are excluded. Not investment advice.
