Bid and Ask Price
Gold IRA Glossary
The two prices a dealer quotes for any metal product: the bid is what the dealer will pay to buy it from you, and the ask is what the dealer charges to sell it to you. The gap between them is the spread, which represents the dealer's margin. Products with narrow spreads, such as common bullion coins and bars, are generally easier to sell without a large loss.
