One of the first things you will notice about gold bars for sale in Gram and Kilo weights is the sheer variety of weights available. This is the beauty of gold bars when compared to almost any other form of gold bullion you can buy. While any given gold bullion coin program may offer four or five weights, gold bullion bars in a single program can come in a wide range of weights that include everything from 1 Gram, 2.5 Gram, 5 Gram, and 10 Gram gold up to 20 Gram, 50 Gram, 100 Gram, and even 1 Kilogram of gold.

There are numerous parallels between ounce gold bars and gram/kilogram gold bars, the first and most obvious being that a number of different companies produce them. These companies have been around for varying amounts of time and are located in different parts of the world. We only carry gram and kilogram gold bars from the most trusted and respected mints in the world, giving you the confidence that you are investing in only the highest quality gold bullion.

Among the companies that regularly produce gold bars in these weights, you will find giants of the precious metals industry such as PAMP Suisse, Valcambi Suisse, Geiger Edelmetalle, and the Perth Mint. These producers are among the largest refiners of precious metals in the world and have storied backgrounds that include:

In this day in age, when you invest in a gold bar you want to do everything in your power to ensure that the bar you bought is, in fact, real. Counterfeits are becoming an increasingly common occurrence and because of this producers of gold bars are always looking for ways to add security features to their gold bars that ensure the authenticity of your purchase.

The first and most commonly found type of security measure present on gram gold bars is an assay card. An assay card is a certification from the producing mint that your bar is gold and is real. Most smaller gold bars have an assay card physically attached to them, though others simply are accompanied by one.

Buying gold bars is one of the most popular ways to buy gold bullion online today. Gold bars are normally priced lower than gold coins so gold bullion stackers prefer them a lot of times for this reason.

Gold bars also allow you to accumulate a lot of precious metal value in a small format. For example, an ounce of gold has traded for $1,500 to $2,000 over the last decade. An ounce of gold is pretty small and takes up very little space. Therefore, it's very easy for hard asset investors to protect hundreds or thousands of fiat dollars in a small cubic space.

If you're a large volume investor, you can buy one kilo gold bars that easily fit in your hand, but holds thousands of dollars of value in precious metal. But you don't have to be a large investor to get started buying gold bullion bars. You can start off with 1 gram,. 5 gram or 10 gram gold bars. These gold bars still contain significant fiat dollar value and they also fit any investor budget out there.

Gold bars are usually weighed in troy ounce, but there are also some mints that produce them in grams. Another aspect to consider is the production method. Minted gold bars bear a smoother surface and may include designs celebrating national symbols, and cultural representations, whereas cast gold bars tend to be heavier options with more simplistic engravings.

You can also find smaller gold bars, from 1 gram to 10 grams. Because most premiums are percentage-based, they could offer lower premiums in terms of gross value than larger ones. They are also easier to handle and store.

Gold bar prices are based on the spot gold price, which is a fluctuating value that rises and falls according to live transactions at mercantile markets such as LBMA and COMEX. However, the spot price serves only as a base, but usually does not correspond to the final price of a gold bar. Bullion dealers usually add a percentage over the spot price in order to meet business costs and still make a profit. That is called a premium.

Prices on gold bullion bars can range from a couple dozen dollars on small gram gold bars to tens of thousands in kilo gold bars. And they are constantly updated on our website according to the current gold spot price.

The difference here is in relation to the production method chosen by the mint. Cast gold bars are simply made by pouring the molten metal into a mold. They have simple marks on the surface, usually just the weight, purity and the manufacturer logo.

A mint gold bar undergoes a more complex process. They are normally made from a cast or a gold ingot that has been rolled to a uniform thickness. Those golden sheets are then punched into a die to acquire the precise weight and shape desired, forming what is called blanks. Later, the blanks are fed into a minting press to imprint the obverse and reverse designs.

Nevertheless, there are also some government-owned mints that produce gold bars for investment purposes. Some examples include the Royal Canadian Mint, the Australian Perth Mint, and the British Royal Mint.

The bar's producer is also called the mint. There are many mints in the precious metals industry. You can usually find out the gold bar's manufacturer by simply looking on the product's obverse where you will, most likely, find a logo or the name of the mint that produced it.

Choosing a gold bar can be an overwhelming process, given the array of sizes, mints and designs we offer here at SD Bullion. The first thing you should be aware of is that an investment-grade gold bar should contain, at least, .999 fine levels of pure gold content. That includes gold bars intended for individual retirement accounts, or IRAs. Thus, the most important factor influencing gold bar prices remains the purity and the weight of the gold bar.

However, it is also true that the more regarded and renowned the gold bar's mint is, the more sought-after it will be by investors and bullion dealers worldwide. In other words, it should be easier to resell and to fetch better prices from gold bars produced by renowned manufacturers. For instance, a sovereign national mint, such as the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) , is easily recognizable by investors worldwide. Their products are known to contain top-notch quality. Therefore, it's possible that a gold bar from the RCM, much like a gold coin from them, will be easier to sell back to a gold bullion dealer and get a better price than lesser-known mints.

As we have mentioned before, bullion bars come in various sizes and weights. The most common one is the 1 troy ounce gold bar because it usually poses a good value, is easy to handle and store, and has high liquidity.

Even so, you might find that smaller bars could be a sensible entry point into the precious metals industry. Because prices are based on the bar's weight, small gram gold bars do not require a considerable initial investment, and you can still enjoy the possible benefits of bullion investing.

Gold bullion bars can come in different designs. Some of them are so popular that the precious metal industry sees them as symbols of excellence. Others represent only limited-time offers. Below, you'll find the most popular gold bars for sale here at SD Bullion:

PAMP Fortuna bars are the cream of the crop when it comes to attention to detail. Many investors see PAMP as arguably the best gold refiner in the world. Every single bar features Fortuna - the Roman Goddess of fortune. PAMP Fortuna bars can weigh as little as 1 gram (0.032 Troy oz) and as big as 1 kilogram (32.15 Troy oz) of 99.99% fine gold content.

Despite these gold ingots having no specific designs of their own, PAMP Suisse's logo engraved on them is enough testament to their high quality. They are usually available at 50 grams or 100 grams with .9999 fineness and could make for a great addition to your investment portfolio.

Credit Suisse bars might have a simple design - just the company's logo on the obverse side - but they stand in high regard across collectors around the globe. Valcambi, one of Switzerland's most well-known precious metals refineries, produces Credit Suisse gold bars.

You can't go wrong with Valcambi's CombiBar. The most common option is the 50-gram (1.60 Troy oz), 999.9 purity. The rectangular bar is sold as one 50-gram bar, but it can also be split into 50 individual 1-gram bars. Valcambi's brilliant technology makes sure there's no loss of purity or gold content when separating them.

The RCM is one of the very few sovereign mints that issue such products. Its .9999 pure gold content is a phenomenal value for savvy gold investors. On the bar, you'll find the mint's maple leaf logo, together with its name in both English and French.

As one of the most highly accredited refiners worldwide, the Perth Mint seduces you with an unmatched combination of choice, design, and quality. You'll easily recognize the gold bar by its logo - a jumping kangaroo on the reverse side.

The price of a gold bar mainly depends on its weight and the current spot price for gold. Both online and local precious metals dealers will add a small percentage over that base price, called a premium. And that will be determining for establishing the final price of gold bars. 041b061a72
