{"title":"Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium Bars","description":"\u003cp\u003eBullion bars are ingots of precious metal identified by weight, fineness and maker.

One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eManufacturing and presentation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasting shapes molten metal in a mold, while minting applies a design to a prepared blank. Poured or cast surfaces can show texture from manufacture; a minted bar can have more regular design detail. An assay package records product information and is different from a graded coin holder. The presence of a card or sealed wrapper does not assign the bar an MS70 or Proof 70 grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeight, format and physical form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coin-shaped round, an ingot and loose grain are different ways of presenting metal.

The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal.
