Gold bars come in a variety of weights and sizes, and serve functions as a personal asset, an official reserve currency, and a commercial financial tool.
Typically, when investors think of gold bars, images of the truncated pyramid shaped bars (popularized by Hollywood) come to mind.
However, because of the long and versatile list of roles held by gold, bars made from the yellow metal come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, from rectangular 1-gram gold bars to 400 oz “Good Delivery” bars in the shape of an elongated truncated pyramid. 1 oz gold bars are perhaps the most popular size.
There are a number of options for how to buy gold bars, depending on the goals and budget of the buyer. At Gainesville Coins, we buy and sell gold on a constant basis.
