The spot price represents the current market price for raw, unrefined precious metal traded in bulk on commodities exchanges. The coins, bars, and rounds you buy from a dealer like MintBuilder cost more than spot because of the costs involved in producing and distributing finished bullion products.

The four main cost layers are mining, minting, wholesale distribution, and retail. Government mints (such as the United States Mint or the Royal Canadian Mint) and private refiners (such as PAMP Suisse or Valcambi) fabricate raw metal into finished products, which are then distributed through wholesale and retail channels.

The difference between the spot price and the price you pay is called the premium. MintBuilder works directly with major suppliers to keep premiums as low as possible, giving you more metal for your money compared to typical retail dealers.

Sales tax laws vary from state to state. Many states exempt precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion) from sales tax, while others do not.

MintBuilder automatically calculates and applies the correct sales tax at checkout based on your shipping address and the products in your cart. To view specific sales tax information for your state, please visit our Sales Tax information page or contact our support team.

Once your order is placed and confirmed, it cannot be changed. Precious metals orders are locked in at the current market price at the time of purchase to protect both the buyer and MintBuilder from market fluctuations.

You are unable to cancel your order after confirmation without potential order cancellation charges and possible market loss differential. Please review our Terms of Use for complete details.

We encourage all customers to carefully review their cart, quantities, and shipping details before completing checkout.
