Of all the gold bars issued in gram weights, 2-gram gold bars may be the rarest. Although some of the top producers ostensibly release gold bars at this weight, the reality is that most of them split the difference between 1-gram and 5-gram bars and offer 2.5-gram bars.
So, the selection of 2-gram gold bars on Provident Metals is much more scarce than other denominations. However, the bars we do have available are high-quality items to own.
There are two 2-gram gold bars available with Provident. Both of them are products from Argor Heraeus. Argor Heraeus is part of a triumvirate of venerable Swiss refiners.
Along with Valcambi and PAMP Suisse, Argor has produced innovative high-quality gold products for decades. Here are the 2-gram offerings from Argor that we have:
The decision to buy a gold bar with a weight less than a troy ounce is almost always rooted in cost savings. Gold’s recent performance has made buying tremendous amounts of it quite expensive, and smaller bars and coins create an opportunity to buy gold for more people.
However, the counterargument against buying smaller is that the premium percentage escalates as size declines. In other words, the absolute cost to buy is lower, but you are getting a worse deal on a unit cost basis.
As 1-gram gold bars are the least cost-effective way to buy gold, 2-gram gold bars offer a slightly better deal to you, pound-for-pound. It’s always better to buy as large as you can, even if there’s only a gram’s worth of difference.
You can initiate your purchase of a 2-gram gold bar with Provident as you would with any other online retailer. Pick the bar, choose the quantity you want, and head to your shopping cart to check out. Please note that you can get the lowest price by paying by check, money order, e-check, or cash.
