How to Read the San Francisco Gold Price Reference
For bullion, a coin and a bar with similar gold content can still have different premiums. Review the product details and seller conditions separately from the table value.
For a ring, chain or other jewellery item, the final price can include workmanship and design charges that are not part of the underlying gold reference.
Comparison step: obtain like-for-like quotes from more than one seller using the same carat, weight and product type.
