Frequently Asked Questions
Based on MetalMetric vault data, silver accounts for the largest share of items added (typically 55–65% of total items), while gold represents the highest share by portfolio value (typically 60–75% of total dollar value). This reflects silver's lower entry price making it accessible for frequent purchases while gold's higher per-ounce value dominates portfolio valuations.
MetalMetric users report average premiums of 4–8% on gold bullion, 10–18% on government-minted silver coins, and 3–6% on generic silver rounds and bars. Premiums vary significantly by product type — sovereign coins carry higher premiums than generic bullion, and smaller denominations carry higher premiums than larger bars.
The most frequently logged silver products are American Silver Eagles, generic 1 oz rounds, pre-1965 US junk silver (quarters and dimes), Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, and 10 oz silver bars. Eagles dominate by count despite their higher premiums due to universal recognition and liquidity.

📊 Methodology & Data Sources
All data on this page is derived from MetalMetric vault entries. Items are classified by metal type, product category, and purchase price at the time of entry. Premium calculations use the spot price on the purchase date (or entry date when purchase date is unavailable). Allocation percentages use current spot prices applied to recorded weights and purities.
Data is aggregated across all active vaults and fully anonymized. No individual user data, account information, or specific portfolio details are exposed. Trends reflect the MetalMetric user community and may not represent the broader precious metals market. Outlier entries (items with premiums exceeding 200% or weights exceeding 1,000 oz) are excluded from averages.
This page updates dynamically from the MetalMetric Vault database. Historical trends reflect cumulative data since MetalMetric's launch.
