Gold bullion

Generic and hand-poured gold bars

Not every bar comes from a name refiner. Hand-poured bars, unbranded ingots, jeweller's buttons and bars stamped by small private mints all arrive here regularly. They are perfectly sellable — they simply require more testing, because there is no packaging or serial to lean on.

How we verify it

  • Weight on a calibrated scale, recorded in front of you
  • Acid or XRF testing on a filed spot where the stamp cannot be trusted
  • Ultrasound on anything thick enough to conceal a core
  • Specific gravity testing when the shape allows it

Good to know

  • A stamp saying '999' means nothing on its own — anyone can buy a stamp. Testing is what establishes value.
  • Bars containing a tungsten or lead core exist. Our testing is designed to catch them before you are paid.

Selling Generic bars to us

An unmarked bar is not a problem, it is just an unknown until it is tested. We work out the fine gold content first and pay against that, and we explain each test as it happens so nothing is a black box.

Buying Generic bars from us

We generally do not resell unbranded bars to the public; verified name-refiner metal is what we keep on the shelf.

See the full process on our selling bullion page or what we stock for buyers. Everything happens at 1646 Victoria Park Ave, North York, ON M1R 1P7.
