Buy 10 Gram Gold Bars

Ten gram gold bars can be a great investment for those looking to diversify their portfolio or add to their collection. Each bar contains roughly 0.3215 troy ounces of pure gold, struck in at least 0.999 fineness (24 carat).

The dimensions of a typical 10g gold bar will vary depending on the brand, with an approximate length and width being 26.00 mm x 15.00 mm respectively. A comparable item to this would be an old-style Royal Main stamp, which is very slightly larger. Each bar is usually around a millimetre and a half thick.

Nearly all gold bars come in square and rectangular shapes, which makes the storage of them fairly straightforward. They fit neatly inside a safe deposit box or a home safe. 

Cheap Gold Bars

These investment gold bars may be either loose or in their original outer packaging. Nearly all 10g gold bars come in a 'minted' format; we're yet to physically see a cast 10g gold bar. 

'The brand and style of your gold bar can vary as it's allocated on a random basis from the stock we currently have. This allows us to offer them at very competitive premiums.'

Each pre-owned gold bar we have has been thoroughly tested by our in-house team of experts. Occasionally this means we have to remove any plastic packaging to properly examine the bar. We possess the latest XRF technology on site to check the composition of each bar in our inventory, ensuring you get a genuine, correct-weight gold bar every time.

Are Small Gold Bars Worth Buying?

Smaller-sized gold bars such as 1 gram, 2 gram, 5 gram and 10 grams tend to be bought as novelty items or for gifts, but that doesn't mean they can't be a good investment.

For investment purposes, it makes the most sense to purchase gold at the lowest possible margin over the live spot price. Small gold bars in new condition, usually sized under 20 grams, have more expensive premiums because of the costs associated with their production. However, pre-owned gold 10 gram gold bars can be excellent value for money, often being cheaper per ounce than gold coins of a similar size. If you buy several bars, you also have the option to sell on part of your portfolio at a later date. This isn't possible if you buy just the one larger-sized coin or bar.  

'If you're looking for small gold bars at the cheapest margin over the spot price, then our pre-owned 10 gram gold bullion bars are a great choice.'

 Other considerations which you should keep in mind are capital gains tax implications and the ability to liquidate part of your gold portfolio. You can read more about this in-depth in our Buying Gold Bars vs Gold Coins article.

Tax Free Gold

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in the United Kingdom as a result of an EU directive commencing in January 2000. This law is still currently in force in the UK. 

All gold bullion bars sold by The Britannia Coin Company meet the definition, which means they are sold without any VAT. The sale of physical silver, platinum and palladium products are still liable for VAT at the standard rate, which makes physical gold an attractive investment option.
