How is Gold Priced and Traded in the USA?
Precious metals dealers and financial institutions across the United States base their retail and wholesale transactions on the global spot price of a gold ounce traded on international commodities exchanges (COMEX). The final checkout price paid by buyers factors in several key components:
- Spot Price: The live market rate for pure, unallocated gold per troy ounce.
- Dealer Premium: An additional fee charged above the spot price by mints or coin dealers to cover manufacturing, distribution, and business margins.
- Sales Tax: Taxation on physical gold varies by state jurisdiction, with many US states offering partial or full tax exemptions on investment-grade bullion bars and government-backed coins.
