Terms Worth Knowing Before You Buy Gold
- What is a troy ounce?
- The troy ounce is the standard global unit used in gold trading on every exchange worldwide, and it equals exactly 31.1035 grams.
- What is the difference between buy and sell price?
- The sell price is what you pay when acquiring gold from a shop, while the buy price is what you receive when selling your jewelry back to the same shop, with the gap representing the dealer's margin.
