Gold Bullion Bars and Ingots
When most people think of gold, they think of large gold bars stored in vaults deep below the surface of the earth. In fact, gold bars come in many different shapes and sizes in order to meet the needs of different investors.
Gold bullion bars are sold by the
troy ounce (spot gold size) and are sold in common sizes of one troy ounce, 10 troy ounces, 100 troy ounces or larger sized
gold bars.
Most gold dealers will sell these bars for a percentage over the spot price of gold. The smaller the bar the larger the percentage (or premium) you will pay.
This form of gold is usually purchased by people or corporations looking to make large investments in gold.
The current spot price of gold is available on the Internet at livepriceofgold.com which provides live gold prices per gram, ounce and kilogram.
