About Spot Ledger

Spot Ledger publishes live prices for gold, silver, platinum and palladium, the history behind them, and short guides to how metals are priced and weighed.

Live prices

Spot prices come from a commercial market data feed and refresh every minute while a page is open. They are indicative mid-market quotes in US dollars per troy ounce. Gram and kilogram figures are converted at 31.1034768 grams per troy ounce.

Historical prices

Gold history uses yearly averages of the LBMA Gold Price (PM). Silver history uses yearly averages of the LBMA Silver Price, with 1970 from Handy & Harman. Both series were compiled by metalcharts.org. Figures for 2025 record highs and quarterly averages come from the World Gold Council's Gold Demand Trends report.

What this site is not

Spot Ledger doesn't buy or sell metal and doesn't give investment advice. A dealer's price for a coin, bar or piece of jewelry will differ from spot.
