Information, not advice.

Not personal advice

Our guides, calculators and price pages don’t take your finances, goals or tax position into account. They aren’t investment, tax, legal or retirement advice, and reading them doesn’t create an advisory relationship with us or with Barcelia LLC.

Who we are not

We aren’t a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, tax preparer, attorney, precious metals dealer, IRA custodian or depository.

Gold prices move

The price of gold goes down as well as up, sometimes for years at a time, and you may get back less than you paid. Coins and bars cost more than spot when you buy and fetch less than spot when you sell. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

Taxes and rules

We describe IRS rules and state sales tax in general terms. Rules change, and how they apply depends on your circumstances. Confirm anything tax-related with a qualified tax professional before you file or move retirement money.

Live prices and calculators

Spot prices come from a third-party data feed. They may be delayed or wrong, and they aren’t offers to buy or sell. Calculator results are estimates based on what you enter. Use a dealer’s written quote before you buy or sell.

Companies we mention

Facts about companies come from their own published materials on the date shown. Terms, fees and offers change, so check them with the company in writing. We’re paid by one company we mention; see how we’re paid.
