There are more than this!
- All merchantable gold bars must have a fineness of at least 999 / 1000.
- All merchantable bars must be visually undamaged (no scratches, no spots).
2nd case - Older bars or bars with scratches / damaged bars as melting goods:
- All bars that do not completely fulfill the criteria for modern bars in merchantable condition for reselling, according to the 1st case, are taken out of the market and molten down. Therefore the purchase price is lower.
Here you may find the current purchase price for a 1 kg gold bar in merchantable condition in accordance to the 1st case: Link.
We pay 95,5% of the spot price for pure gold. We can calculate the number of gramms gold are in your bar by the weight and the fineness of the it. Let's assume the scale displays a weight of 1000 g and the fineness is 996 / 1000. We then have 1000 g x 0,996 = 996,00 g of pure gold.
current spot price for 1 gramm of gold: 81,37 EUR
current spot price for 1 gramm of gold for older bars/
bars with scratches (melting goods) (95,5% of the spot price): 77,71 EUR
current price for 996,00 g gold (fineness 996 / 1000): 77.397,52 EUR
