The History of Gold Bars

Gold mining began in America with the discovery of placer Gold in 1622. However, it was not until the Gold Rush of 1848 that Gold mining took off in America. The Gold Rush ensued as miners flocked to the new territories searching for Gold, and many of them struck it rich. The gold bars for sale at APMEX today are a reminder of when fortunes were made and lost during the pursuit of Gold.

Gold continued to be discovered in America throughout the 1800s, with new veins being found in California and other locations. Gold production reached its peak in America in the 1890s after the legendary Gold Rush and has remained a popular investment over the years.

The price of Gold represents the value humans place on the unique qualities of Gold, which has been viewed as significant ever since it was first discovered in the early 1800s. Gold bars are made of one of the most valuable of the Seven Metals of Antiquity: Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin, Lead, Iron and Mercury.

Making an investment choice among bars, rounds, and coins can be challenging. If your goal is diversifying from the U.S. dollar, buying gold bars can be a stellar investment.

Gold bars for sale today draw their value from the rarity of Gold combined with the beauty prized for the decorations and unique chemical properties, including malleability, ductility and resistance to corrosion. When you buy APMEX-branded Gold bars, you claim a share of a limited commodity that has held value in nearly every human culture.

Investing in Gold Bars

The discovery of Gold bars in America is a fascinating chapter in the history of Gold. Gold has been prized by humans for thousands of years, and its value has only increased over time. Today, Gold is a popular investment because it is a tangible asset that holds its value over time.

Gold's value often increases with economic downturns, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical turmoil, making the price of Gold today worth the investment. Because the global supply is relatively finite, Gold’s purchasing power has historically remained stable during inflationary times. Many consider Gold a haven for this very reason and, when reviewing the price of Gold today, buy Gold bars to balance out their portfolio.

Many investors are interested in both 1 oz gold rounds & bars, either of which are great ways to invest in gold. Gold bars are popular for their ease of storage, but many people are attracted to the collectablity and wider variety of designs offered on rounds. Whichever you choose, both are great ways to diversify your portfolio.

Gold plays a role in various industries, other than its primary use in investments, to keep the supply and demand for the popular Precious Metal high. From technology to medicine, below are some of the other ways Gold is used currently:

One of the most popular uses for Gold is found in jewelry. Gold is beautiful and durable, meaning it can last for years with proper care. Jewelry made of Gold often has a higher resale value than jewelry made of other metals.

Gold has been used in technology for many years because its unique chemical and physical properties make it a valuable resource. Gold is non-toxic, does not corrode and is an excellent conductor of electricity. For these reasons, Gold is often used in electrical wiring and connectors, computer chips and circuit boards.

In addition to its use in electronics, Gold is also used in medical devices. For example, Gold can be found in dental fillings, joint replacements and pacemakers. Gold nanoparticles are currently being studied for use in cancer treatment because they are absorbed by tumors and destroy them while leaving healthy cells alone. Gold's non-toxic properties and corrosion resistance make it a safe material for use in these devices and help it last longer over time.

Gold is used in jewelry, technology, medical devices and other industrial products, keeping the demand for Gold high. With many different uses for Gold across the most important industries, the supply and demand for this metal will continue to play a large role in the geopolitical markets and the price of Gold - keeping the metal among the most popular investment choice globally.

Gold Bar Price

The price of these APMEX-branded Gold bars depends on Gold's spot price at purchase. The Gold price is the market price one troy ounce of Gold can be purchased and sold for instant delivery. The live Gold prices are constantly changing, making it important for buyers to remain updated on performance indicators with Gold price charts, such as current events or market conditions, because they greatly affect the buying and selling of Gold every day.

The spot price is determined by various factors, including Gold production, central bank buying and selling, industry demand, jewelry fabrication, investment demand and several other geopolitical factors.

The gold price can also be affected by premiums, which are additional costs added to the purchase price of Gold bars. The most common premium type is the minting fee, which is a charge assessed by refiners and fabricators for producing new Gold bars. Other premiums can include shipping and handling fees, insurance costs and assayer's fees.

Due to the global Precious Metals market, an ounce of Gold holds the same value anywhere in the world, making trading the yellow Precious Metal simple and easy. When you buy Gold bars, it is important to understand the factors that affect their price.

Pressed and Poured Gold Bars

APMEX-branded Gold bars come in both pressed and poured options. The pressed Gold bars come in tamper-evident packaging, adding another layer of security to your investment. These APMEX-branded Gold bars and rounds join the variety of Gold for sale at APMEX.

Gold bar investors may want to consider both pressed and poured Gold bars when making their investment decisions. Pressed Gold bars offer a higher level of security, while poured Gold bars offer a traditional look and feel. It is important to understand the differences between these two types of Gold to make the best investment decision for your needs.

Pressed bars are made by pressing molten Gold into a mold. The pressed bar has a raised design on it that is created when the Gold is pressed into the mold. This design is a pressed bar's identifying feature and is used to confirm the bar's authenticity. Pressed Gold bars are also easier to store and stack because of their uniform shape.

Poured Gold bars are made by pouring molten Gold into a mold. The poured bar has a smooth design due to the Gold being poured into the mold and not pressed. This technique causes poured bars to have a more traditional look with the feel of hand-poured Gold. Poured bars are not as refined as pressed Gold bars, so they may display more characteristics unique to the manufacturing process, such as "flowing" lines and a rougher surface finish.

The main difference between pressed and poured gold bars is security. Pressed gold bars are more secure because they have a raised design that cannot be tampered with. Poured gold bars are less secure because they can be tampered with, which means someone could potentially add or remove metal from the bar to alter its weight or composition.

Due to these differences, there is a difference in price between pressed and poured gold bars. When choosing between pressed and poured gold bars, it is important to understand the difference in security and price. Pressed gold bars are more expensive but offer a higher level of security, while poured gold bars have fewer security features at lower price points and the potential for unique characteristics. It is important to make an investment decision that fits your needs.
