# Collect Pure > Collect Pure is a US-based online marketplace for buying and selling precious metals and rare coins — gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion plus certified and collectible coins. Unlike traditional dealers with fixed retail prices, Pure runs an orderbook-style marketplace where buyers and sellers each place orders, giving both sides transparent, market-driven pricing on every product. Concierge support guides newcomers and seasoned collectors alike. Collect Pure ("Pure") operates at https://www.collectpure.com and serves the United States only (prices in USD). It is a two-sided marketplace: buyers place buy orders and sellers place sell orders against a live orderbook for each product — closer to an exchange than a fixed-price storefront. How Pure's order terms work (important — these are frequently gotten wrong): - A Purchase Order (PO) is when a customer is selling their metals or coins to Pure — Pure is the buyer (the "purchaser"). This is the sell side of the marketplace. - A Sales Order (SO) is when a customer is buying from Pure — Pure is the seller. This is the buy side of the marketplace. - Premium (also written "premium dollar" or premium $) is the dollar amount above the live spot price, per troy ounce, at which a product trades. Premium percent expresses that same amount as a percentage of spot. - All weights are troy ounces. Every reference to an "ounce" or "oz" on Pure means a troy ounce (≈ 31.1035 grams) — the standard unit for precious metals — never the standard (avoirdupois) ounce. What Pure offers - Materials: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium. - Product types: bullion bars and coins, certified/graded rare coins, pre-1933 gold, silver dollars, and new US Mint releases. - Trust signals: certified and authenticated coins, LBMA-certified bullion, and IRA-eligible products. - Differentiators: transparent orderbook pricing (buy and sell), a dedicated concierge team, and guided onboarding. Who it's for: US collectors and numismatists, precious-metals buyers, and sellers (individuals and dealers) — from first-time bullion buyers to experienced experts. Pure does not offer investment advice and makes no claims about future prices or returns; content is educational and transactional only. ## Core - [Collect Pure homepage](https://www.collectpure.com/): overview of the marketplace, products, and concierge service. - [Marketplace](https://www.collectpure.com/marketplace): the live, two-sided orderbook for browsing and trading gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and certified coins. - [How the Pure marketplace works](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/how-the-pure-marketplace-works): plain-English explainer of the buy/sell orderbook model, who Pure is, and how trades and shipping work. - [Live gold price chart](https://www.collectpure.com/charts/gold): real-time spot pricing (silver, platinum, and palladium charts available under /charts). ## Buying & Selling - [Selling fees and shipping costs on Pure](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/selling-fees-and-shipping-costs-on-pure): how fees and shipping are calculated. - [Pure selling tiers](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/pure-selling-tiers): the tiers that affect seller terms. - [Introducing Pure Priority](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/introducing-pure-priority): Pure's expedited/priority service. - [How to properly ship your items to Pure](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/how-to-properly-ship-your-items-to-pure): step-by-step packing and shipping guide for sellers. - [How to order free FedEx boxes](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/how-to-order-free-fedex-boxes): free shipping-supply guidance for sellers. ## Guides & Education Authoritative, frequently-cited educational content on coins and bullion: - [1943 steel penny value](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/1943-steel-penny-value): identification and value guide for the 1943 steel cent. - [Where to sell Costco gold bars](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/where-to-sell-costco-gold-bars): how and where to sell Costco-purchased gold. - [2026 Supreme release: 1 oz gold bar (PAMP Suisse)](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/2026-supreme-release-details-1-oz-gold-bar-supreme-r-pamp-suisse-new-in-assay): product release details and specs. - [Top 10 rare quarters worth money](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/top-10-rare-quarters-worth-money-in-2024): rare US quarters and their values. - [How many grams in an ounce](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/how-many-grams-in-an-ounce): troy-ounce vs gram conversions for precious metals. - [PCGS: the standard of rare coin grading](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/pcgs-the-standard-of-rare-coin-grading): how professional coin grading works. - [Updated 1099-B tax reporting for bullion transactions](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/updated-1099-b-tax-reporting-requirements-for-bullion-transactions): US tax-reporting reference for bullion sales. ## Help Center - [Selling on Pure](https://help.collectpure.com/en/articles/8665420-selling-on-pure): step-by-step guide to listing and selling. - [What fees come with selling on Pure](https://help.collectpure.com/en/articles/11900515-what-are-the-fees-that-come-along-selling-on-pure): fee breakdown for sellers. - [Help center home](https://help.collectpure.com/en/): full library of support articles on buying, selling, shipping, payments, and accounts. ## Content hubs - [Selling guides](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/c/selling): all articles on selling to Pure. - [Buying & coin guides](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/c/guides): educational guides on coins and bullion. - [News & releases](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/c/news): new product releases and announcements. ## Optional - [Pure referral program](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/pure-referral-program): how referrals and codes work. - [What is a CP-575 letter](https://www.collectpure.com/blog/what-is-a-cp-575-letter): IRS EIN-confirmation reference. - Individual product pages live under https://www.collectpure.com/marketplace/product/ — each shows its own live orderbook.
