The 5 gram gold bar is a mainstay for gold collectors and investors around the world and is one of the more affordable precious metal products that often attracts new investors, who prefer to build their collection slowly.

Gold bars vary in weight greatly, but there remains standardised measurements by which most serious investors measure their worth. At the smallest end, the 0.3g bar is relatively rare among collectors, with the 1g bar generally recognised as the more popular small weight. At the other end of the scale, the 1kg gold bar is highly sought-after and popular, although not as ubiquitous as the 400oz bar, which became the first standardised weight going all the way back to the mid-18th century.

The 5g gold bar is therefore towards the smaller end of the scale, but remains a highly popular choice for many.

Unlike most gold coins, which are manufactured, refined, tested and verified by governments and highly trusted mints, gold bars can be mixed with inferior metals and the purity of many have been shown to be much less than the investor paid for it. It is therefore even more essential that all forms of gold bars are bought from reputable sources via respected vendors. An experienced investor knows that when a deal seems too good to be true, it is likely to be just that.
