We Buy Gold Bullion
Fair, transparent pricing for gold bars, rounds, and ingots.
What Is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion refers to pure gold (24 karat) in the form of bars, rounds, and ingots. The one-ounce bar is the most common form you'll encounter. Gold bullion differs fundamentally from numismatic coins—it's valued purely for its weight and purity, not collectible rarity or historical significance.
Who Produces Gold Bullion?
Reputable gold bullion is produced by established international refineries. We recommend purchasing only from LBMA-approved (London Bullion Market Association) refineries to ensure authenticity and purity:
Swiss precious metals refinery
Swiss precious metals division
Canadian government-backed refinery
Australian precious metals refinery
German precious metals specialist
Swiss precious metals refinery
Avoiding Counterfeit Gold
Key Safeguards:
- Purchase from established dealers: Buy only from reputable gold dealers with verifiable credentials and customer reviews.
- Testing methods: Verify weight, dimensions, and use acoustic testing for authenticity checks.
- Sealed bars with assay certificates: Ensure bars come sealed with official assay certificates from recognized refineries.
- Anti-counterfeiting measures: Look for QR codes, laser-etched serial numbers, and holographic security elements.
At Atlanta Gold & Coin, every piece we buy is authenticated and verified for purity and weight before purchase.

How Gold Is Valued
Spot Price
Gold is valued based on the spot price—the current market price per troy ounce. The spot price updates Sunday 6:00 PM through Friday 5:00 PM ET, with active trading from 9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET.
How we price: We buy gold at a discount below spot and sell at a premium above spot, reflecting fair market margins for authentication and service.
