Buy pre-owned gold bars
If you want to invest in gold at a lower cost, investing in pre-owned gold bars is a great option. At The Silver Mountain, we offer a diverse range of gold bars that are pre-owned, meaning that these gold bars have been in circulation before.
These gold bars are purchased from individuals, after which they are carefully inspected for quality, authenticity and purity. Only after the most stringent inspections are pre-owned gold bars offered again. Buying pre-owned gold bars with us is therefore always a reliable and safe investment.
Why buy pre-owned gold bars?
Pre-owned gold bars have been in circulation before and are therefore sold at more competitive prices than new bars. Although these bars have been circulated, they retain the same intrinsic value as new gold bars of the same weight and grade.
The purchase cost of pre-owned gold bars is lower because you don't pay for the high production costs that you do with new gold bars. So you get more gold for your money when you choose pre-owned gold bars.
Don't want to incur additional costs for newly cast gold bars, but do you want to use gold bars to ensure more diversity in your portfolio? Then pre-owned gold bars are an excellent option.
What to look for when buying pre-owned bars?
When buying pre-owned gold bars, there are several things to look out for to ensure that you are making a good investment. Check that the gold bar comes with a certificate of authenticity. This certificate confirms the purity and weight of the bar.
Inspect the condition of the gold bar. Although signs of use do not affect the intrinsic value, it is good to know what condition the bar is in. Always buy your gold bars from a reputable and reliable seller such as The Silver Mountain. This ensures that the products you buy are authentic and of high quality. Compare the price per gram of the pre-owned gold bar with new bars to make sure you are getting a good deal. At The Silver Mountain, you can always be sure of the authenticity, quality and competitive price of pre-owned bullions.
How we can guarantee authenticity
At The Silver Mountain, we take the authenticity of our pre-owned gold bars very seriously. Every bar we source is thoroughly tested using state-of-the-art equipment, such as the GVS Bullion Tester.
This tester checks both the weight and purity of the gold bar by contactlessly measuring its magnetic properties. In addition, the bars are visually inspected and compared to known characteristics of authentic bars. This process ensures that we offer only genuine and high-quality gold bars.
Gold bars with certificate
Many of the pre-owned gold bars we offer come with a certificate of authenticity. This certificate is provided by the original producer of the bar and confirms the purity and weight.When we receive a pre-owned bar, the certificate is carefully inspected for authenticity. In addition, the data is compared to that of the specific bier. Having a certificate provides additional assurance to investors that the bar is authentic and meets the high standards of the industry.
