About Metalstat
Metalstat helps people track coins, bars and jewelry and understand their indicative value.
Who is behind Metalstat?
Metalstat is managed by Maxence Roux, a precious metals and finance enthusiast. He ran a large finance community on Facebook, which he describes as one of the platform’s largest finance forums.
Where does the data come from?
Precious metal prices come from MetalflowAPI. Exchange rates come from ExchangeRate-API. Displayed quotes include their source and timestamp; update frequency and availability are not guaranteed.
Coin and bar specifications come from catalogue references. Factsheets distinguish documented specifications from portfolio entry references; unknown data remains marked as not disclosed. Photo credits are shown when known.
Genuine historical prices are distinguished from simulated series. A simulation is not an observed quote and cannot establish actual historical performance.
How are values calculated?
Fine metal weight = gross weight × fineness in ‰ ÷ 1,000
Metal value = fine metal weight × price per gram × remaining quantity
Troy-ounce quotes are converted to prices per gram. Amounts are stored in US dollars and converted to the selected currency. Purchases and sales determine the remaining portfolio quantity.
Metal value excludes premiums and fees. In the portfolio, an entered premium or manual estimate can adjust the estimated value. Purchase cost includes entered fees; sales use weighted average cost to calculate realized gains.
Estimates, not promises
Values are indicative: they do not guarantee a buyback price or a dealer offer. Condition, rarity, premiums, fees and market conditions can affect the actual price. Metalstat provides information, not financial advice.
