PAMP Suisse Gold Bar, 5 Gram, .9999 Pure

5 Gram Gold Bar Premiums

Investors who buy gold bullion pay what is called the “premium” in addition to the market price of the metal. This premium represents the cost of fabricating the item, shipping costs, the wholesale premiums the dealer may have paid to acquire the item and the dealer’s profit.

There are premiums associated with both coins and bars, but it will vary from item to item depending upon size and type. For example, coins tend to carry higher premiums than bars. Order quantity is another variable. As a rule, larger order quantities mean lower premiums.

The 5-gram gold bar carries a bit higher premium as a percentage of the gold content due to its size. The machine time and labor involved in fabricating smaller bars is similar to that required for larger bars. The good news is that smaller bars also command a bit higher premium when it is time to resell them.

The 5-gram gold bar is a popular choice for collectors, investors, and people looking for a more unique gift. The bars come in an attractive package with the bar in a clear plastic hold at the center of an assay card with details including the manufacturer, weight, purity and serial numbers.
