History
First recorded reading, 2026-09-06 at $4,431. We publish a new one every week and keep the old ones, so this becomes a record of where the market actually went rather than a number that quietly changes. Check back for the second reading.
How this figure is produced
Spot is the world price for one troy ounce of pure metal. It moves every trading day, which is why we publish the date beside it and refresh weekly rather than printing a number and leaving it. Your piece is not pure, so the offer is its weight times its actual purity against this figure, less anything in it that is not gold.
This is a starting point, not an appraisal. Condition, completeness and the specific reference move a real number a long way from a category median. The appraisal is free and takes minutes.
