What are the Dimensions of .5 and 1 gram Gold Bars?

The dimensions of a 0.5 and 1 gold bar vary from mint to mint. Some manufacturers do not list the dimensions of these smaller gold bars. What will remain constant is the density and weight of gold.  

The reason to indirectly answer this question is because of varying dimensions among mints. To further complicate providing a trustworthy answer, some bars from the same mint will vary from product to product. See the chart below for an illustration of these various dimensions.

Why Buy Physical Gold and Silver?

If you are concerned about the volatility of the stock market, you’re not alone. The extreme highs and lows of the stock market often lead investors towards safe-haven assets, like bullion. Historically, the Precious Metals market has an inverse relationship with the stock market, meaning that when stocks are up, bullion is down and vice versa.

Step 2:

How Much Gold and Silver Should You Have?

This question is one of the most important for investors to answer. After all, experts suggest limits on how much of any types of investments should go into a portfolio. After deciding to purchase and own Precious Metals and considering how much money to allocate, one can then think about how much and what to buy at any point in time.
