Sorted by price only · no paid placement · prices from each dealer's website
The mint and one of Australia's oldest dealers
The Perth Mint is Australia's official bullion mint, owned by the Government of Western Australia and operating since 1899. It produces the Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala and Lunar series and sells them through its own shop as well as through dealers. Its online shop does not list buyback prices.
Ainslie Bullion was founded in Brisbane in 1974 and is one of Australia's longest-established precious metals dealers. It sells gold, silver, platinum and palladium from many mints, runs its own vault storage and publishes buyback prices for its products.
Ainslie stocks many Perth Mint coins and bars, so you can often compare the same product bought directly from the mint and from a dealer.
How to read this comparison
The first table lists products both dealers sell, with the current price at each and the difference. The second compares the cheapest offer of the same metal, type and weight at each dealer, regardless of brand or design, which is useful when you simply want, say, one ounce of gold at the lowest price.
The small percentage under each price is the premium: how far the price sits above the spot value of the metal it contains. Delivery costs, payment methods and minimum orders differ between dealers, so confirm the final price on the dealer's website before you buy.
