Holdings & Inventory

Every coin. Every bar. Every detail.

Item-level inventory for physical bullion. Each coin and bar is its own record — with weight, purchase price, premium paid, spot at purchase, days held, and custom tags. Built for the way collectors think about their holdings.

The Holdings page within the Gold Silver Ledger web app.

Not a spreadsheet row — a record.

Each physical item has its own lifecycle: when it was bought, for how much, what it was worth at the time, and whether you still hold it. We model every one of them individually so your data stays true to the physical reality.

 

Per-item weight

Every product carries its true metal weight, so values stay accurate the moment spot moves.

Purchase price & premium

We capture what you paid, the spot price at that moment, and the premium over melt.

Days held

Know whether each piece crosses the 1-year long-term gains threshold for tax purposes.

Held or sold status

Sold items stay in the ledger — linked to the sale transaction that disposed of them.

Record purchases & sales in seconds.

A buy form that understands bullion: pick a product, enter quantity, and the app auto-fills spot price and calculates your premium. Sells work in reverse — pick the exact items you sold and enter the total received.

Enter purchases

Choose from preloaded catalog products or your own custom items. Enter quantity and premium-per-unit — total price is computed for you as melt value + premium. Add a dealer, a date, and optional notes.

Record a sale — your way

Because every piece is its own record, you can choose exactly which items you sold — the 2024 Eagle you bought in April, not just “one Eagle.” This maps naturally to Specific ID cost basis for taxes.

Popular bullion built in. Unlimited custom items.

The standard catalog covers the bullion you’re most likely to own. Anything else — private mint rounds, old jewelry, a one-off piece — goes in your personal catalog with whatever weight, purity, and metal you specify.

The standard catalog

American Eagles, Canadian Maples, Krugerrands, Philharmonics, Britannias, Kangaroos, Libertads, PAMP bars, Valcambi bars — canonical products with correct weight, purity, and mint data baked in.

Your own custom items

Anything not in the standard catalog can be added to your personal catalog — any weight, any purity, any metal. Reuse your custom items across transactions just like the standard ones.

Junk silver, done right

Pre-1965 US coinage doesn’t follow a standard weight × purity calculation. We ship with the correct face-value-based multipliers for dimes, quarters, half dollars, Morgans, Peace dollars, and 1965–1970 Kennedys — so melt values are always accurate.

Browse, filter, drill in.

The Holdings view aggregates your inventory by metal and product, with every individual item one click away. Filter by metal, form, weight range, or purchase date — or search by product name.

Grouped, but not aggregated.

We roll up holdings so you can see totals at a glance — 2 items under American Gold Eagle 1/10oz, 1 item under Silver Bar Generic — but every individual piece is still there with its own purchase history and status.

Transaction history

Every buy and sell is kept — with date, dealer, line items, quantities, and totals. Delete a buy and associated inventory items disappear with it. Delete a sale and the items restore to HELD status.
