Bullion we buy
From small 1 gram gold bars to 10 oz silver bars and 1 oz bullion coins, from well-known mints and refiners. Bars in sealed assay cards are welcome as they are; there is no need to open them.
How bullion is valued
Bullion is valued by its fine metal content: weight multiplied by purity, at today’s market price. Most bars are 999.9 fine gold or 999 fine silver, and their weight is stamped on the bar. We confirm both before making an offer.
Here are today’s bullion buying rates, updated from the live market:
| Metal & purity | CAD / gram |

Why the buy-back price differs from the purchase price
When you buy bullion, you pay the metal value plus a premium for minting, distribution and the dealer’s costs. When you sell, a buyer pays close to the metal value, minus a small spread for testing and handling. Knowing this helps you compare offers properly.
Tips before you sell bullion
- Leave bars in their assay cards and coins in their capsules.
- Bring purchase invoices and certificates if you have them.
- Check today’s price on our bullion prices page before you come in.
- Compare written quotes. Bring a written quote from another Ottawa buyer and we will beat it.
- Ask about taxes. Our coins and bars guide explains how GST/HST generally applies to investment-grade gold and silver in Canada.
