Disclaimer: The graph above calculations are based on the spot price for gold and silver bullion for the period of time shown, as provided by Kitco, Yahoo! Finance or other third party sources. The value and prices of exclusive coins, fixed mintage coins, or other coins/bars do not always move in tandem with spot prices (or to the same degree), as such coins/bars can derive a portion of their value/price from factors other than the metal composition of the bar/coin, such as rarity and connection to historical events. This graph is based on spot, as individual coin/bar prices are highly variable and would depend on the specific coin and quantity of coins selected. This graph also does not factor transaction fees (including the difference between bid and ask (i.e., spread) pricing, i.e., Lear Capital, LLC's gross profit) associated with purchasing gold or silver or stocks. Lear Capital, LLC does not guarantee that any current or historical information provided by Kitco, Yahoo! Finance, or any other third party sources is accurate.

The statements made on this Website are opinions only. Past results are no guarantee of future performance or returns. Precious metals, like all investments, carry risk. Precious metals and coins may appreciate, depreciate, or stay the same depending on a variety of factors. Lear Capital, LLC cannot guarantee, and makes no representation, that any metals purchased will appreciate at all or appreciate sufficiently to make customers a profit. Lear is a retail seller of precious metals and its buyback (or bid) prices are lower than its sell (or ask) prices. Metals must appreciate enough to account for this difference in order for customer to make a profit when liquidating the metals. Lear does not provide financial advice or retirement planning services. The decision to purchase or sell precious metals, and which precious metals to purchase or sell, are the customer’s decision alone, and purchases and sales should be made subject to the customer’s own research, prudence and judgment.
