What is the Heaviest Gold Bar Offered by APMEX?
The heaviest gold bar offered by APMEX is the 1 Kilo gold bar. This size is popular because it provides a large quantity of gold at a lower premium than buying by the ounce. Holding large gold bars is often used as a strategic financial tool for hedging against inflation for those who can afford to hold until they realize a gain.
The downside to buying 1 kilogram gold bars is that they aren’t very liquid compared to 1 oz rounds and coins, which are in greater demand.
Are There Gold Bars Larger Than 1 Kilo?
Gold bars meant for trade in the London Loco Market weigh between 11-13 kilograms and contain around 400 ounces of gold per bar.
These gold bars are only for sale to select customers since they are traded and held by central banks and are generally not sold to the public.
Are the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold Bars the Heaviest Gold Bars?
Another gold bar claims the title of heaviest gold bar in the world, but it is not available in London’s precious metals market. The Mitsubishi Materials Corporation produced a single 250 kilogram bar.
The 551 pound gold bar went on display at the Toi Gold Museum in Izu, Shizuoka, Japan, in 2005. This bar’s 8038 ounces of gold are worth a little bit over $16 Million in melt value alone as of 2023.
Regardless of the gold weight you want to invest in, APMEX has a selection of gold bars by weight to make your choice as straightforward as possible. Find gold bars as small as ½ gram and as large as 1 kilo.
