Buy Gold Bars: 1 Gram to 1 Kilo
Cast and minted gold bars from PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and Argor Heraeus, 1 gram to 1 kilo. Every bar verified in house, with the live premium over spot.
Why buy gold bars on an order book
Pure works like an exchange. Sellers post asks, buyers post bids, and every listing shows its premium over the live spot price, so you know what you are paying above the metal before you click anything. Take the lowest ask and the bar is yours at that price. Or place a bid at your own number and let it stand in the book until a seller meets it. Bars listed for sale show a live ask; a bar with no ask right now can still take your bid.
Gram bars vs ounce bars
The bars on this page run from 1 gram to 1 kilo.
Premiums scale with size, and not in the small bar's favor. Producing a bar costs a refiner about the same whether it holds 1 gram of gold or 100, so fabrication makes up a bigger slice of a small bar's price. The tradeoff is divisibility: ten 10 gram bars can be sold one at a time, a kilo bar cannot. The full size ladder, with weights and dimensions, is in our gold bar weight guide, and how gold bars are priced covers the valuation math.
You will also see cast and minted bars side by side here. Cast bars are poured into a mold and carry the rougher, older look. Minted bars are struck from cut blanks and usually arrive sealed in an assay card. Refiners in the catalog include Pamp Suisse, Valcambi Suisse, Argor Heraeus, and The Perth Mint, plus discontinued names like Engelhard and Johnson Matthey that still trade on the secondary market.
How every bar is verified
Every bar sold on Pure is verified in house before it reaches the buyer. We test the metal's exact composition, which takes about 24 hours. Shipments are insured in both directions up to $125,000 with FedEx, and anything above that value moves by armored transport.
Selling a gold bar works the same way
The order book runs in both directions. List your bar at an ask, or accept a standing bid, and ship it to us for the same verification before the trade settles. Details on both flows are in How Pure Works.
Gold bar FAQ
What sizes do gold bars come in? The common ladder runs 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 grams, then 1 ounce, 10 ounces, and 1 kilo.
What does premium over spot mean? Spot is the live global price of gold itself. The premium is whatever a specific bar costs above the value of its gold content, covering fabrication, distribution, and the seller's margin. Every Pure listing displays it next to the price.
What is an assay card? The sealed, tamper-evident packaging a minted bar ships in, printed with the bar's weight, purity, and serial number.
