About gold bars
Bars are produced by private and government refiners and typically carry the lowest premium per ounce — the larger the bar, the closer the price comes to spot. Verify mint reputation and serialization on larger sizes before buying.
How we rank
Every dealer listing is measured as premium = (dealer price − spot value) / spot value, where spot value is the live gold price times the product's weight. Prices refresh hourly; anything older than 24 hours is hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest gold bar right now?
Generic Gold Bar 100g at Monument Metals, $15,043.95 (+0.1% over spot over spot).
Why do bars carry different premiums?
Bar premiums fall as weight rises — a 1 kg bar typically carries half the per-ounce premium of a 1 oz bar because fabrication cost is amortized across more metal. Brand recognition (e.g., PAMP, Valcambi, Royal Canadian Mint) also matters at resale.
How often do prices update?
Dealer prices refresh hourly. Listings older than 24 hours are hidden so the ranking reflects today's market.
