Small bars cost more per gram than large ones, because the minting and packaging cost is spread over less metal. For gold savings, 100 g and 1 kg are typically cheapest per gram.

How to choose a size
A gold bar is pure metal weight with no numismatic value. So there are only two things to keep an eye on: the current spot price and the premium the dealer charges. The premium covers casting, packaging, the certificate and margin, and it's relatively highest on the smallest bars.
Typical sizes in Denmark
Cast or minted
Minted bars in a sealed card (e.g. PAMP Fortuna or Valcambi CombiBar) have a neater surface and a slightly higher premium. Cast bars look rawer and are typically cheaper per gram. The gold content is the same.
When you come to sell again
A sealed bar with an intact certificate and serial number sells fastest and closest to the spot price — often 93–99%. If the seal is broken, the buyer can demand an assay, and the price drops accordingly.

Questions about gold bars
How much does a gold bar cost?
The metal value is the bar's weight multiplied by the gold price per gram for 999 fine gold. On top of that comes the dealer's premium, which is highest on the small bars: typically 10–25% on 1 gram and 2–5% on 100 grams and above.
Which bar size gives the most for your money?
Per gram of gold, larger bars are cheapest. Small bars, on the other hand, are easier to sell off in portions. Many people combine the two: a single 100 g or 250 g bar as a core holding plus a few 10 g bars for flexibility.
Do I have to pay VAT on gold bars?
Investment gold with a fineness of at least 995 is VAT-exempt in the EU, and that covers almost all bars on the market. Silver, platinum and palladium bars, on the other hand, are subject to VAT.
How do I check that a bar is genuine?
Look for the manufacturer's name (PAMP, Valcambi, Heraeus, Argor-Heraeus, Perth Mint), the fineness, and a unique serial number that matches the certificate. Weigh the bar: deviations of more than a couple of hundredths of a gram are a warning sign.
