5 gm gold bar

[Silverhunter]

Hi guys in going to be buying a 5 gram gold bar this week any suggestions which I should go for and any pro with certain brands only one I've excluded is Perth so far

[Pampfan]

Pamp suisse bar

 

[mr-dead]

Not sure why you would exclude Perth Mint, if its because there are fakes around there are also fake pamps and a few others known too.

I would just buy whatever is closest to spot as you wont really get a premium back on a bar.

If you want something seldom seen I would take the 5 gram bar from C.Hafner.
Kettner edelmetalle has them only downside is the 24 euro shipping cost.

Thanks guys

I like the Heraeus or UBS Kinebar. The first one is quite cheap on coininvest. As always with blistered bars, on eBay there will be quite a few fake.

I would never buy gold from eBay unless from someone I know leaning towards Scottsdale certilock

+1 for the heraeus kinebar.  It's a nice little security feature and not too much of a premium over other bars.

We have some really nice pre-owned 5 gram Heraeus/ Austrian mint Gold Kinebars in at the moment.

Definitely worth a look as the hologram is quite unique.

+2 for Pamp, but only at a reasonable price

How do you authenticate/verify these? There isn't a serial number and it's in a sealed pack.

Are there specific dimensions to measure or cut it out and acid test?

[KDave]

Don't acid test, just cut the packaging off it and use an electronic tester. 

Electronic gold testers don't cost too much, some of them you can plug into your phone now I believe.  If you are going to take punts on eBay or buy scrap gold and such they will pay themselves back in no time.

Cheers @KDave.

I was just thinking that this bar must have been bought and sold and resold solely on trust?

I bought it from a pawn shop and never thought it may have been fake.

 

 

[KDave]

I can't see a pawn shop accepting something like this before testing it, I would say you are pretty safe.

Nice bar!
