Cheapest first. "Over spot" is the price minus the spot value of the gold in the coin when the prices were checked; "Percent" is that as a share of the gold's value.
"Price" is for paying by check or bank wire. "By card" is what the seller charges if you pay by card instead, and is blank where the seller doesn't publish it or the price is over its card limit.
