HOW MUCH DOES GOLD COST?

Gold bullion (BULL- yun) means coins and bars. Bullion has no numismatic value. Fractional gold including 1/2, 1/4, or 1/10 oz can be more expensive. Dealers usually charge a fee. For example, if the spot price of gold is $1900, you might pay $2000-$2025 for a one ounce coin. Different coins go for higher or lower costs. But in general when you buy or sell gold, you’ll usually pay 5-6% over the current spot price.
