Spread
Gold IRA Glossary
The difference between the price at which a dealer sells you metal and the price at which the dealer will buy it back. A wide spread means the metal's market price must rise further before you break even on a sale. Asking a dealer for both its sell and buyback prices before purchasing shows you the true cost of a transaction.
