What is the Gold Content in My Gold Bar?
The amount of gold in a gold bar that you purchase depends on the weight and the fineness of the bar. Gold bars are available in a large range of sizes, from 1 gram up to 400 ounces. However, the most common sizes purchased by retail investors are between 10 grams and 1 kilogram. All investment grade gold bars are guaranteed to have a minimum fineness of 999, and most are either 999 or 9999 fine. It is not common to find current investment bullion with a purity of less than 999. However, some of the older coins, such as gold Vrenelis, Napoleons, or other European coins that were minted in the 1800s and early 1900s, do have a lower purity even though they are still purchased for investment.
