Dealer Insight — Ryan Cochran, BOLD Precious Metals
"After handling Perth Mint product for well over a decade, the single most underrated feature of these bars is the assay card system — specifically from a resale perspective. Every bar ships in a sealed, tamper-evident blister pack with a Certificate of Authenticity carrying a unique serial number that's verifiable directly through the Perth Mint's Depository online registry. Most buyers don't know to ask for that. When clients ask me 'why Perth Mint over a generic LBMA bar at the same weight?', I always come back to two things: speed of resale and tightness of spread. Perth Mint bars move faster at secondary because dealers and private buyers both recognize the assay card immediately. That liquidity premium is real, and it matters when you're on the selling side."

Ryan's Verdict on Size Selection
The 1 oz Perth Mint Gold Bar is the sweet spot for most buyers — best balance of liquidity, premium paid, and resale demand across all dealer networks. If you're building a position over $5,000, mix 1 oz bars with at least one 10 oz bar to reduce your average premium without sacrificing too much sell-side flexibility. The 100g bar is the sleeper pick for IRA buyers who want a lower unit count with meaningful per-bar value.
Every size ships with assay documentation and serial number verification. Here's what sets each format apart for specific buyer strategies.
The most widely traded size in the lineup. At .9999 fine gold, it meets IRS fineness requirements for Gold IRA inclusion, trades at the most competitive premiums, and resells fastest of any Perth Mint bar format. Each bar ships sealed in tamper-evident blister with a Certificate of Authenticity. The bar we recommend first to new buyers and returning clients alike.
The most popular entry point for buyers who want more than a gram bar but aren't ready to commit to a full ounce. Premium over spot is moderate-to-high relative to the 1 oz, but the lower absolute dollar entry makes it accessible for systematic stacking. Ships in original assay card packaging with a unique serial number — ideal for building incrementally.
The most underappreciated size in this lineup. Meaningfully lower premiums per ounce than anything below 1 oz, ships with full assay card and serial number, and qualifies for Gold IRA inclusion. Buyers accumulating for retirement accounts prefer 100g bars because a smaller unit count simplifies custodian record-keeping — and the IRA purchase process stays clean.
The lowest percentage premium over spot in the entire Perth Mint lineup — the most cost-efficient way to own Perth Mint gold by volume. Institutional buyers and large IRA accounts gravitate here. Importantly, the kilo format still ships with assay documentation and serial number verification — a feature many buyers assume is exclusive to smaller bars. All kilo bars ship fully insured with discreet, secure packaging.
Every Perth Mint gold bar shipped from BOLD arrives in its original factory-sealed, tamper-evident blister packaging. We do not strip bars from their assay cards under any circumstance — doing so permanently degrades resale value and eliminates your ability to use the Perth Mint's verification system.
What's Inside Every Sealed Package
Never Buy Outside Sealed Packaging
If a seller is offering Perth Mint bars outside their sealed assay packaging, walk away. You lose both the traceability and a measurable portion of resale value that authenticated packaging provides. Bars stripped from original packaging are treated as generic bullion and priced accordingly — typically at a lower premium than an intact, serialized bar.
Overlooked Fact — Registry Verification
Perth Mint's online registry verification system is a feature buyers rarely know to ask for — and most competitors never mention. That serial number on your assay card can be verified directly through the Perth Mint's Depository online registry — a traceability capability most private refineries do not offer, even at comparable price points. When you ask a dealer "can I verify this bar's serial number after purchase?", the answer tells you a great deal about what you're actually buying.
Are Perth Mint Gold Bars IRA-Eligible?
Yes — all sizes. All Perth Mint gold bars at .9999 fineness meet the IRS fineness threshold (0.995 minimum) outlined in IRS Publication 590-B for Gold IRA inclusion. Every size BOLD carries — from 1 gram through 1 kilogram — qualifies.

Why Buy Perth Mint Gold Bars from BOLD
Are Perth Mint gold bars a good investment?
Perth Mint gold bars are among the most liquid and widely recognized bullion products in the world. Their government-backed origin, LBMA accreditation, and serialized assay system mean they trade at tighter spreads and sell faster than most comparable private-refinery bars. For buyers focused on liquidity and exit flexibility — not just entry price — Perth Mint consistently ranks at the top of the shortlist.
How do I verify a Perth Mint gold bar is authentic?
Every Perth Mint bar ships with a unique serial number on its assay card and on the bar itself. That number is verifiable through the Perth Mint's official Depository online registry. Never purchase Perth Mint bars that have been removed from their factory-sealed tamper-evident packaging — you lose both verifiability and a measurable portion of resale value.
Does Perth Mint bar packaging affect resale value?
Yes, materially. The sealed assay card and tamper-evident packaging are part of what dealers and private buyers are paying for. Bars stripped from their original packaging are treated as generic bullion and priced accordingly — typically at a lower premium than an intact, serialized bar. Keep your packaging intact from purchase through eventual sale.
Are Perth Mint gold bars IRA eligible?
Yes. All Perth Mint gold bars at .9999 fineness meet IRS Publication 590-B requirements for Gold IRA inclusion. Contact BOLD's team before checkout if you're purchasing for a self-directed IRA so we can coordinate custodian documentation correctly. Contact our IRA team here.
Why buy Perth Mint gold bars from BOLD instead of other dealers?
BOLD is an authorized Perth Mint dealer — a designation none of our primary competitors hold or publicly claim. That means direct sourcing through official channels, full authenticity guarantee, and bars that arrive exactly as Perth Mint ships them. We also offer free shipping on orders over $199, climate-controlled storage until shipment, and IRA coordination for eligible purchases.
Perth Mint vs. PAMP Suisse gold bars — which is better?
Both are LBMA-accredited, .9999 fine, and highly liquid. PAMP Suisse is the more recognized brand in European and Asian markets; Perth Mint has stronger recognition in North American and Pacific dealer networks. Both carry serialized assay documentation. For North American buyers building a portfolio they plan to liquidate domestically, Perth Mint's recognition in U.S. dealer networks gives it a slight edge on resale speed.
