Premiums and quality
Production and distribution costs are almost fixed per bar, so the premium per gram falls as the bar gets bigger. Small bars are more flexible to sell in parts. Investment bars are normally 999.9 fine gold; bars from LBMA-accredited refiners are the most widely accepted. Small bars are usually minted and sealed with a certificate, larger ones are often cast.
Many investors combine sizes: one larger bar for the bulk of the holding and a few small bars that can be sold individually. Keep bars in their original packaging and store them in a certified safe or a bank safe deposit box, and check whether your household insurance covers precious metals.
