What is the typical mark up over spot on a 1 gr. gold bar?

TexasNationals

If melt is say $50 for a 1 gr. gold bar, what would you expect to see them marked at.

Credit, Pamp, Sunshine, Perth, Istanbul God Refinery, etc. Any difference?

Full-bore retail? $69-70?

Crdit and Pamp seem to draw the highest premium (IMO), Istanbul the lowest.

I agree with both the above posts.
Though the 1g Perth doesn't show up often for sale, often is the Oriana type. I am not sure if they make the kangaroo one.
Engelhard too carries a big premium, not to mention JM.

It depends on wether it comes sealed from a reputable refiner or just some banged up gram from a little known maker.

I for one will usually pay melt plus 10$ for any engelhards sealed with its assay card.

I hate to make a new thread so I'll ask here first.

I am looking for a johnson matthey gold 1 gram bar myself and was wondering if anyone in the forum has one that they would be willing to part with.

It doesn't have to be sealed...

Thanks

I bought 2 recently for $51 dollars each, one an Englelhard and one a Pamp, not sure what spot was that day though. It was about 3 weeks ago.

You did good. In the last few months I saw only a few going for under $60/$65 on eBay.
