2.5g Gold Bar: frequently asked questions
-
The cheapest 2.5g gold bar we track is £284.72. That price reflects 2.5g of 999.9 fine gold valued against the current £3,162.64 gold spot price, plus the dealer's premium. Small bars like this carry a higher premium per gram than larger formats, so buying cost matters.
-
The best premium available across the 7 dealers we track is around 12.0% over spot, with Bullion Giant currently the cheapest. Small bars carry higher premiums than larger formats because production, packaging, and handling costs are spread over less metal. Comparing dealers on this page shows the full spread.
-
A minted 2.5g gold bar is very small, roughly the size of a thumbnail, and quite thin. Most come sealed inside a tamper-evident assay card that is considerably larger than the bar itself. The small size makes them easy to gift or handle but also easy to misplace, so secure storage matters.
-
Keep the bar in its original assay card, which protects the surface and preserves resale value. At home, a small fire-resistant safe works for modest quantities. For larger holdings, a specialist vault or bank safe deposit box offers better security and may satisfy home insurance requirements. Whichever option you choose, note the serial number separately.
-
Rules differ by country. In the UK, investment-grade gold bars are exempt from VAT but profits on disposal are subject to Capital Gains Tax, with a £3,000 annual exemption before the 24% higher rate applies. In the US, dealers may report large cash transactions to the IRS, and gains are taxed at the 28% collectibles rate. In Canada, 50% of any capital gain is included in taxable income. Check with a tax adviser for your specific situation.
