1/2 Gram 24 K "Merry Christmas" Gold Bar in TEP, Attached to Golden Life Card

Description

T
his 1/2 gram [7.5 grains] 24 karat pure [999.9 fine] "Merry Christmas" gold bar was minted by Benchmark Strategic Metals located in Rochester, New York. This mint produces gold bars and rounds weighing from a tiny 1/4 grain to two grams. The company uses various designs in their Assayed Tamper Evident Packaging to celebrate joyous occasions, such as this bar which is intended as a gift at Christmas time. But this is a gift with intrinsic value and is unlikely to be ignored or spent but instead becomes a valuable asset for those wise enough to sock away a bit of pure gold. These fractional gold pieces [under an ounce] have become increasingly popular because they allow gold ownership for those of limited means. The value of the gold bar depends on many factors, but the final "spot gold price" is set during conference calls twice a day by a group of international bankers centered in London and known as the London Bullion Market
Association
