Bullion Bars as Perfect Stores of Value

WIf you are looking for an investment product you can exchange for cash virtually anywhere in the world if needed, bars are the right choice for you. Gold bars in particular are standardized and globally recognized stores of value. As with coins, the highest fineness is 999.9, which means that a gold bar, for example, is 99.99% pure gold. The general rule is: The heavier the bar, the lower the extra charge. The smaller the bar, the greater the difference between purchase price and selling price, which is also called a “spread”.

Many Variants Available

Schoeller Münzhandel’s range of bullion bars has something to suit any budget. The selection of precious metals ranges from gold and silver to platinum and palladium, with weights ranging from 1 gram up to 1,000 grams, i.e. 1 kilogram. You can choose between cast bars and minted bars. Bars below 100 grams are usually struck and minted. These minted bars have a finer surface than the cast bars. The latter are primarily cast (weights of 250 g and above) and characterized by rounded edges, a matte surface and a generally coarser look, but of course without any loss of quality. In addition to these two main types, there are also kinebars, which contain a hologram as a security feature, and CombiBars. The latter are a composite of, for example, 50 mini bars which can be separated thanks to predetermined breaking points.

Always the Highest Quality

Gold and silver have been cast into bars for more than 4,000 years – which makes them an older means of payment than minted coins! This means that they have remained an excellent store of value over several millennia. To guarantee this standard for every single bar, an internationally recognized certification ensures maximum security and quality, namely the London Bullion Market Association’s (LMBA) Good Delivery standard, which states that the bar was delivered in a certified high quality. It is a matter of course that every single bar at Schoeller Münzhandel is certified with this standard – and in addition, every bar features a production number which allows for the complete traceability of its production. You can therefore rest assured that you will always get top-quality products when you search for precious metals in our online store and wish to buy gold bars, for example!
