3 dealers with no current price

BGASC, Money Metals Exchange, Provident Metals: these dealers block automated price checks or had no readable in-stock price, so we link to them from each product page instead of guessing.

How to read the grid

Each cell shows a dealer's check/wire premium over spot, its one-unit price and its card or PayPal price. The highlighted cell is the lowest check/wire price for that product, and a dash means no fresh price. Dealers are listed alphabetically; partners pay to list, never to rank (methodology).

Card and PayPal surcharge by dealer

How much more a dealer asks when you pay by card or PayPal instead of check or wire, from the same product page.

Surcharge = card price ÷ check/wire price − 1, on the 1 oz Gold Eagle or the first product with both prices; range = all products with both. Data as of Oct 31, 2026 2:24 AM ET. Source: dealer product pages.
