Bar (Bullion Bar)
Gold IRA Glossary
A rectangular piece of refined precious metal, produced in sizes ranging from one gram to 400 troy ounces. Bars usually carry lower premiums over the spot price than coins of the same weight. To be held in an IRA, a bar must meet IRS purity minimums and be produced by an accredited refiner or a national mint.
