Gold coins and bars are two of the best ways to invest in physical gold. A question that comes up from time to time is what size gold bullion to buy. If you buy bullion in small sizes you will usually pay a higher markup for manufacturing and if you buy bullion too large it will be more difficult to liquidate when the time comes.

It is recommended that you buy gold bullion in one troy ounce. The reason for this is one troy ounce is the size that’s popular with most investors. If you buy the kind of gold bullion and the size of gold bullion that is popular with investors in your area, the easier it will be to liquidate when the time comes if you ever decide to sell any of your gold bullion.

Another reason why one troy ounce is recommended is the fact that one troy ounce is the size that the spot price of gold is measured in. If you know the spot price and know the markup for all your one troy ounce bullion, it will be easier to calculate the worth of your investment in any currency. One last reason why one troy ounce size is recommended is usually that’s the largest size most gold bullion coins are manufactured in. No matter what size or kind of gold bullion you decide to invest in, the most important part is to know what will be the easiest to liquidate when the time comes.
