Gold is the one thing that is universally recognized worldwide as a store of value. Virtually anywhere in the world where you can find a local coin shop or precious metals broker, you can exchange a gold bar for local currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold bars have become increasingly popular among investors for their affordability, flexibility, and convenience. Investment grade gold bars are manufactured by both private mints as well as government minting operations all over the world. Most are minted with 24k pure gold that refined to a purity of 99.99%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are available in a variety of sizes, from as small as a half of a gram, up to as large as a 1 kilogram. While the most common size is the 1 oz gold bar, it’s not always practical or budget friendly to purchase those on a regular basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in fractional gold bars<\/a> allows for more precision in investment size and it makes it easier to sell only a portion at a time compared to larger bars. They are an ideal choice for those looking to start small.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many investors find that it is more affordable to buy fractional gold bars on a recurring basis as a convenient way to stack gold. Buying a few grams of gold every week or two quickly adds up to a full ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAMP Suisse is one of the most trusted names in precious metals. In addition to their Lady Fortuna gold bars, some new designs are available. Those include the Arabian Horse 5 Gram Gold Bar<\/a>, which shows an Arabian stallion galloping across the desert dunes. The background is etched with a circle and triangle motif on a proof like surface. The reverse contains the same etched background along with the pertinent details related to weight and purity.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stepping up in budget is the Rosa 10 gram gold bar<\/a>, which features a simple, yet elegant, etch rose design on a smooth, polished background. These limited mintage bars have the PAMP Suisse hallmark stamped on the back with the purity, weight and individual serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
