Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the American Alternative Assets 5-gram Gold Bar (Product ID 49825)?

It is a physical gold bar weighing 5 grams (0.1607 troy oz) with a purity of .9999 fine gold. The bar is sourced from a randomly selected, recognized brand-name refiner, so the exact brand or design you receive is determined by current stock and cannot be specified in advance.

What is the purity and gold content of this bar?

Each bar contains .9999 fine gold — commonly described as .999+ fine — with a total metal content of 0.1607 troy oz (5 grams). This level of purity meets internationally recognized standards for investment-grade gold.

Will I know which refiner or brand I'm getting before it ships?

No. The bar is fulfilled from whichever recognized, brand-name refiner is currently in stock. While a specific brand cannot be assured, every bar is sourced from an established refiner eligible under widely accepted gold market standards. The design on both the obverse and reverse will vary based on the bar you receive.

How is the bar packaged, and how is authenticity verified?

Your bar may arrive in a sealed protective assay package. If an assay card is included, it identifies the bar's weight and carries authentication from the assaying party, providing an independent record of the bar's specifications.

Are these bars new, or could they come from the secondary market?

Bars may be from the primary or secondary market depending on inventory at the time your order is fulfilled. Regardless of origin, every bar meets the stated purity and weight specifications of .9999 fine gold at 5 grams (0.1607 troy oz).

Are 5-gram gold bars with .9999 fine purity eligible to be held in a Gold IRA?

Gold held in an IRA must meet IRS minimum fineness requirements of .995 or higher for gold bars. At .9999 fine, this bar meets that purity threshold. However, IRA custodians may have additional requirements regarding refiner approval and bar specifications, so eligibility ultimately depends on the rules of your specific IRA custodian.
