Own gold in the most efficient way possible with bullion bars through First National Bullion.
Unlike a coin, which carries a premium for collectibility, design, and minting, a bar is valued almost completely on its purity and weight. This makes bullion bars perfect for investors who would like to maximize ounces for each dollar invested.
Take a look at our wide variety of bullion bars, and start building your gold portfolio today.
Starting to invest in gold bullion bars?
Try small bars (1 oz). These are perfect for investors who desire flexibility, as they are available at relatively affordable prices and are simple to liquidate in smaller amounts. Private buyers and dealers recognize the 1 oz bullion bar instantly, making it a safe option for easy selling.
Owning multiple small bars allows you to sell a portion of your investment holdings instead of liquidating a big bar at one time. Branded bars are perfect for an investor who values resale ease and global recognition.

A gold bar is valued almost fully on purity and weight, with negligible added costs. A gold coin, on the contrary, requires government minting and intricate designs, and production runs may be limited. These factors add premiums that go above gold’s per-ounce market value.
An American Eagle (1 oz) may carry a premium of $100-plus over the market value, while this figure may be $40 to $50 for a bar (1 oz). Over time, a lower premium means you can accumulate a larger quantity of gold with the same amount of money invested.
A bar is stamped with purity and weight and usually features its own serial number. Refiners like PAMP often seal gold bars in tamper-evident packaging and feature assay certificates. PAMP also uses a Veriscan system to scan microscopic features present on a bar to confirm its authenticity. This simplifies resale since dealers can instantaneously confirm legitimacy.
Gold bars can be stored in a home safe, in a bank safety deposit box, or through a professional vaulting service. A vaulting service is perfect for big bars, offering recognition among exchanges and insurance.
Each bar should remain in its original packaging to retain its resale value. If you handle a bar directly, this could scratch it, possibly reducing premiums during reselling.
Buying a 1 oz bar is an excellent place to start for beginners, balancing liquidity and affordability. Over time, you may scale up by buying bigger bars for greater efficiency.
