Buying Gold Bars — Sizes, Spreads, and LBMA Standards
Buying gold bars: choosing the right bar size, understanding dealer spreads, and LBMA accreditation.
Finding the Right Bar Size
Gold bars range from 1g to 1kg+. Larger bars have lower percentage spreads above the spot price, whereas smaller bars offer greater flexibility for partial liquidations. Always choose LBMA-certified manufacturers (Heraeus, Umicore, Valcambi, PAMP).
