Buy Gold Bars at Summit Metals

Gold bars come in many forms to meet different investor needs. At Summit Metals, we curate a high-integrity selection that combines verified purity, global recognition, and long-term value. Whether you prefer cast bars for cost efficiency or minted bars for elegance and security, every option we offer is investment-grade and sourced from LBMA-accredited refineries.

Minted Gold Bars

Cut from rolled sheets of .9999 fine gold, minted bars offer a sleek finish, high security, and exceptional liquidity. These bars are sealed in tamper-evident packaging and carry hallmarks from trusted institutions – making them ideal for investors seeking both authenticity and elegance.

Summit Metals offers premium minted bars from the world’s most respected producers:

Cast Gold Bars

Produced by pouring molten gold into molds, cast bars are stamped with their weight, purity, and a unique serial number. Their rugged appearance and lower premiums make them a practical choice for investors focused on maximizing gold content per dollar exchanged.

Standard vs. Non-Standard Bars

Most investors choose standard weights, such as 1 oz or 100 grams, for easier resale and broader market acceptance. Summit Metals ensures every gold bar comes from LBMA-accredited mints, making your exchange straightforward and secure.

We also offer flexible formats like the 1 oz Valcambi CombiBar, which divides into ten individually stamped 1/10 oz segments. It’s a smart option for those who want fractional control and portability without sacrificing purity or authenticity.

Common Weights And Sizes

Summit Metals provides a full range of gold bar sizes to match your investment strategy. Whether you’re stacking gradually or converting larger sums into physical gold, our offerings are designed to help you reach your goals:

Frequently Asked Questions

Gold bar purity is measured using fineness (parts per thousand) or karat ratings. For example, a bar marked “999.9” indicates that it contains 99.99% pure gold, or 999.9 parts per thousand. This is also called 24 karat, the highest standard for investment-grade gold.

At Summit Metals, all gold bars meet or exceed .999 purity and are sourced from LBMA-accredited refiners like Valcambi, PAMP Suisse, and The Royal Mint. Each bar is verified for purity through X-ray and electromagnetic testing and is sold with tamper-evident assay packaging or a certificate of authenticity.

Gold bars come in a variety of weights to suit different investor needs. Standard retail sizes range from 1 gram to 100 grams. Larger bars, like 400 oz Good Delivery bars, are typically used by banks and institutions. For private investors, 1 oz bars are the most widely traded and globally recognized. Summit Metals offers a complete selection, including compact bars like the 5-gram Valcambi gold bar and fractional bars like the 1-oz. Valcambi CombiBar (10 x 1/10 oz) gives you flexibility in budget and strategy.

Authenticity verification is essential when investing in physical gold. You should always look for tamper-evident assay packaging, a certificate of authenticity,  a refiner's hallmark, serial number, and marked weight and purity. It also helps to have reputable sourcing from LBMA-accredited mints. Summit Metals authenticates every gold bar using X-rays and electromagnetic testing, ensuring you receive verified purity and genuine weight. All bars are sourced from trusted mints and refiners with global recognition.

Gold bars should be stored securely to protect their condition and value. While home storage is an option, professional vault storage offers greater peace of mind and institutional-grade protection. Summit Metals provides fully insured depository services with 24/7 online access, advanced security, and no sign-up costs. Starting at just $14.99 per month, it’s a reliable and affordable way to safeguard your investment.

A Good Delivery gold bar meets strict criteria established by the LBMA. These bars weigh approximately 400 troy ounces (12.4 kg) and must meet exact standards for purity (min. 995), dimensions, and markings. They are used primarily in banking, central reserve systems, and international trade.
