About the 1 oz gold bar

A bar is simpler to make than a coin, so a 1 oz bar usually costs less over spot than a 1 oz coin. That makes it a cost-effective choice for buyers who care mainly about the metal content.

Gold bars give you the most gold for your money, because their premium over spot is lower than that of coins. Larger bars bring the cost per ounce down further, which is why buyers building a substantial position often choose them, while keeping some smaller pieces for flexibility.

Buying and paying

A 1 oz gold bar is priced live from the gold spot price plus a stated premium of 2.8%, in US dollars. At checkout your price is locked for 10 minutes while you confirm your order. You then pay by domestic wire transfer or ACH, quoting your order number. We currently charge no sales tax; any use tax your state may require is your responsibility.
