About CurioFeed
Who runs this, and why
CurioFeed answers one question, as precisely as public data allows: what is the thing in your hand actually worth?
What this site is
Two kinds of tool, both built around numbers that can be checked:
- Metal value calculators. You tell them the weight and the purity; they tell you what the gold or silver inside is worth at today’s price. No sign-up, no email, nothing sent anywhere — the math happens in your browser.
- A star note and serial number lookup. Built from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s own monthly production reports, parsed into a database you can actually search instead of a PDF you have to read.
And a small set of articles that exist to explain the tools: what a troy ounce is, what a pennyweight is, why a dealer will not pay you melt.
What this site is not
We do not buy or sell anything. We are not a dealer, a refiner, a broker or an appraiser, and no one pays us to send you anywhere. The site is free and runs on advertising — the ads are labeled, and they have no say in what the pages say. The numbers here are the value of the metal, not what a collector would pay, and none of it is financial advice. The long version of that is in the Terms of Use, and the short version sits on every calculator, on purpose.
Who is behind it
CurioFeed is written, built and maintained by Miguel Ángel Gómez Pizarro, an independent web publisher based in Spain, trading as TEKY. It is a one-person project: one person chooses what gets published, checks the data before it goes out, and is answerable for it. Formal identification details are in the Terms of Use; you can reach him through the contact form.
How the pages are made
Research and drafting use software tools, including AI assistance, the same way any modern publisher uses them. Nothing is published without being read, checked and edited by a human, and the person named above takes editorial responsibility for every page on this site. Data is never taken on trust: figures are traced back to a primary source — a government production report, a published catalog, a live market feed — and where two sources disagree, the page says so instead of quietly picking one.
The full account of where each number comes from and how often it is refreshed is on the Methodology page.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, tell us. Data errors get fixed, and when a correction changes what a page said, the page says that it changed and when.
