What you will learn

Know the metal

Know the price

Our focus is not abstract market theory. It is the mechanics of owning, verifying and moving real gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

First principles

Physical metals, explained from first principles

Buying physical metal involves more than watching a spot price. Form, weight, fineness, premium, title, custody and settlement all determine what is actually being purchased and how ownership is documented.

Alloy Academy breaks those concepts into clear, practical education.
