Gold Bars & Bullion
Small sovereign-mint bars are the most accessible way to own physical gold. Each of these comes sealed with its assay card from a recognized refiner. Expect a premium over spot price on 1 gram bars — that is the cost of small size, not a flaw.

Gold Testing & Verification
Basic testers help you screen gold jewelry and scrap. They are not a substitute for dealer assay or X-ray testing, and they cannot verify a sealed bar — never open a sealed assay package to test it.

Gold Buying Guide: What to Know Before You Buy
Spot price vs. premium
Gold is priced per troy ounce (31.1 grams) at the spot price. Physical bars sell above spot; the difference is the premium, covering minting, assay, packaging and the seller’s margin. The smaller the bar, the larger the premium as a percentage — a 1 gram bar costs far more per gram than a 1 oz bar. Compare the price per gram against the current spot price before you buy.
Sealed assay cards
Sovereign and refiner bars (PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Perth Mint, Royal Mint) come sealed with a numbered assay certificate. Keep the bar in its card — breaking the seal can reduce resale value. Check the seller, return policy and whether the listing is fulfilled by Amazon.
Testing has limits
Acid kits, magnets and microscopes help screen jewelry and unknown scrap. They cannot confirm purity of a sealed bar and cannot detect well-made gold-plated tungsten fakes; for that, buy from reputable dealers and use professional testing such as XRF or ultrasonic checks.
Storage and insurance
Physical gold is only as safe as where you keep it. A bolted-down, fire-rated safe is a minimum; also check whether your home insurance covers precious metals, as many policies cap the amount.
