How the lowest price is chosen
We mark the cheapest offer you can actually buy:
- It's in stock, or available to order with a delivery delay (we show how long when the dealer says).
- The dealer ships it.
- Its price was checked in the last 3 hours.
- It's priced on the payment method you picked above.
Out-of-stock offers, and offers without stock information, are listed last and never marked lowest. Every other offer shows how much more it costs than the lowest, or why it can't be compared: a different payment method, over the card limit, pickup only, or only one dealer.

Common questions
How much is a 1 oz American Gold Eagle worth today?
Its melt value is $5,539.17, based on 1 troy ounce of fine gold at the spot price behind the dealer prices.
Do you pay GST or HST on a 1 oz American Gold Eagle in Canada?
Yes. The exemption for investment-grade precious metal needs gold that is at least 99.5% pure, and the 1 oz American Gold Eagle is 91.67%, so GST/HST applies at your province's rate. Dealer prices on this page are before tax.
Why do dealers charge more than the spot price?
The premium covers minting or refining, distribution, the dealer's margin and payment costs. Coins usually carry higher premiums than bars of the same weight, and smaller sizes carry higher premiums per ounce.
How is the premium calculated?
Premium = dealer price minus melt value. Melt value = fine weight (1 oz t) times the current spot price in CAD. The percentage is the premium divided by the melt value.
