Purchase of Gold:
Crowne Gold members can buy gold (XAU) and gold based products (such as XNG). These are purchased at the Crowne Gold quoted price on the business day following the day that your funds are made good in our account. Because there are no delivery and fabrication fees at point of purchase your actual cost for moving fiat currencies into the world's oldest and most important hedge against currency devaluation is relatively low. A standard brokerage fee for an initial purchase will diminish your order size according to the below schedule.*

Physical Delivery Fees:
The purity rate for gold traded on the world's commodity markets is .995 and is the standard at which "Spot Price" is determined. Further, the spot price is normally based on a margin based futures contract for significant volumes rather than an actual delivery of gold. The traditional "Spot Price" you see quoted on this site is updated regularly in accordance with world market pressures and constitutes the buying and selling rate (less commissions) for .995 gold. When taking delivery of custom designed coins, small bars and other physical gold deliveries there is a premium charged above the spot price to pay for the physical gold in an increased purity of .9999 fine; the highest gold purity rate available anywhere in the world. The following bullets reflect the "other" costs embedded in the single add-on charge for each ounce of gold delivered as set forth below:

• Shipping and insurance
• Refined purity upgrade from .995 to .9999
• Fabrication costs
• Shipping, insurance and vaulting costs to a secure fulfillment center
