The Valcambi 100-gram cast gold bar is an investment grade bullion bar made by casting the bar into a mould. The front of the bar bears the company’s name, logo, weight, purity level, assayer’s signature, and a unique serial number. The bars come with an assayer’s card confirming the bar’s details. Cast gold bars are considered a good investment because of the premium cost and value.
Features of the Bar:
The 100-gram cast gold bar is a product of Valcambi, a precious metal refiner located in Balerna, Switzerland. The company was founded on May 15, 1961, as Valori & Cambi by a group of Swiss businessmen. On July 30, 1967, the company changed its name to Valcambi. In the same year, Credit Suisse acquired 50% of the company and added another 30% in 1968. In 1980, Credit Suisse bought the remaining 20% for the company, giving them 100% ownership.
In 2003, European Gold Refinery SA bought 100% of Valcambi from Credit Suisse at an estimated price of $400 million. Today, Global Gold Refinery Ltd (GGR) owns Valcambi after absorbing European Gold Refineries Holding SA. Before 2015, Valcambi was owned by Newmont Mining (60.6%) and private investors (39.4%). CGR is part of the REL Singapore PTE Ltd and Rajesh Exports limited.
Valcambi has operated for more than 60 years and the company solely focuses on refining precious metals. The company attributes its success to its philosophy of remaining loyal to employees, clients, and investors in the industry. The Mint refines gold, silver, platinum, and palladium into cast bars, rounds, coins, and other precious metal products. Valcambi is one of the largest precious metal refiners in the world. The company also provides precious metals assaying, transportation, and storage services.
Investing in a gold cast bar can be a very effective way to protecting your wealth. The price of gold increases even when the prices of other precious commodities decline. Cast bars come with additional benefits because they meet the standards established by the London and Comex Good Delivery Standards.
The Valcambi 100 gram cast gold bar offers investors an opportunity to buy gold in at lower premiums. Ingot bars are refined, but they come in small sizes compared to cast bars. Furthermore, cast bars are affordable because it’s cheaper to manufacture them, unlike ingots that need advanced technology.
The cast bars come in protective plastic bags that protect them from the elements. The package includes marks that identify the bars as authentic. The 100-gram cast gold bar only bears inscriptions on the obverse. The reverse and edges are left blank. Buying the Valcambi 100 gram cast gold bar allows investors to buy premium gold at affordable prices.
Swiss Bullion sells Valcambi cast gold bars for worldwide delivery or for secure Swiss vault storage.
