For centuries,
buying gold has been recognized as one of the best
ways to preserve one's wealth and purchasing power.
Gold is a unique investment, one that has served
mankind well for thousands of years. From the times
of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans to more
modern times, man has been fascinated with the
beauty and magic of gold, and with its power to
change men's lives.
Gold bullion is
real, honest money...and, many say, the best form of
money the world has ever known. It is a store of
value and a safe haven in times of crisis. Gold is
rare, durable and does not wear out in the manner of
lesser metals (or paper!) when passed from hand to
hand. A small amount, easily carried, can purchase a
significant amount of goods and services. It is
universally accepted, and can be easily bought and
sold around the world.
Today, the beauty
of a gold bar lies in its ability to diversify
investments, protect wealth and preserve one's
purchasing power.
Gold bullion is
available from L.I. Metals in three convenient
forms:
The 10-ounce gold
bullion bar of at least .995 fine purity is the
standard industry unit. It is traditionally used for
trading and storage, and can also be taken for
personal delivery. Each gold bar is hallmarked by a
leading refiner to certify weight and purity.
Also available
from L.I. Metals is the 32.15 troy ounce gold “kilobar”...a
one kilogram bar of fine gold bullion of at least
.999 purity. Manufacturers of these bars certify the
weight and purity of the bullion content by
imprinting their stamp or hallmark on each bar.
And finally, for
those who want the finest investment-grade gold
bullion bars available, we proudly offer the
exclusive L.I. Metals-certified 10-ounce gold
bullion ingot...composed of pure .9999 (or
"four-nines") fine gold bullion—among the purest
gold bullion bars available to investors today. Each
bar is certified, with its weight and purity
guaranteed by Monex, and each bar is further
hallmarked by Heraeus, one of the world's leading
refiners, and the 800 year-old Austrian Mint, one of
the world's leading minting institutions.
Gold bullion bars
are real, tangible assets, and throughout history,
have been an ideal store of value and an excellent
hedge against inflation, deflation and political
uncertainty. They are extremely liquid investments,
easily stored and transported, and can be a uniquely
private way to preserve one's wealth.
