This 32.1507 oz gold bar is institutional-format bullion from a Various-class refiner, built for investors who want the tightest possible premium to spot.
The 1 kilo gold bar is the standard institutional bullion format globally, produced by COMEX-approved refiners. Each bar contains 32.1507 troy ounces of .9999 fine gold and is cast or minted to LBMA and COMEX delivery standards.
Brand varies based on availability and typically includes PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus, Perth Mint, and Royal Canadian Mint. Each bar is stamped with refiner hallmark, weight, purity, and serial number, and ships in tamper-evident assay packaging. Each bar is individually serial-numbered on the back and matched with an assay certificate that carries the same serial, allowing dealer verification at resale without re-assay.
Kilo bars carry the lowest premium over spot of any gold bullion format, making them the most capital-efficient way to own physical gold in large quantities. A global dealer network readily accepts COMEX-branded kilo bars at recognized market rates. While larger bar formats offer the most efficient way to acquire physical ounces, they are less divisible at the time of sale than coins, so position size should be planned accordingly.
IRA-approved for self-directed Precious Metals IRAs when sourced from an approved refiner, the 1 kilo bar is suitable for institutional-scale holdings. Storage in an approved depository is required for IRA positions. Inside a self-directed Precious Metals IRA, this product is held by a qualified custodian at an approved depository, so you retain ownership but cannot take personal possession until distribution

This product meets the statutory minimum fineness for gold in a Precious Metals IRA (.995), at 0.9999 pure. Because the specific refiner is assigned at fulfilment, the bar shipped into the IRA must carry an accredited-refiner hallmark (LBMA, COMEX, NYMEX, NYSE-LIFFE, LME, LPPM, TOCOM, or ISO 9000). Cedar Gold sources from this approved list for IRA orders.
IRS REQUIREMENTS (IRC §408(m)(3))
The Internal Revenue Code sets statutory minimum fineness thresholds for metals held in an IRA: gold .995, silver .999, platinum .9995, palladium .9995. Coins must be produced by a qualifying sovereign mint; bars must be produced by a refiner accredited by NYMEX, COMEX, NYSE-LIFFE, LME, LBMA, LPPM, TOCOM, ISO 9000, or a national government mint.
Collectibles are generally disallowed under IRC §408(m); the precious-metals exception in §408(m)(3) is narrow and fineness-driven. Specific U.S. coins, notably the American Gold Eagle and Silver Eagle are listed by statute.
A Precious Metals IRA must be held under a qualified custodian (trust company, bank, or qualifying non-bank custodian) and the metals themselves must be stored at an approved depository. You do not take personal possession of IRA-owned metals while they remain inside the account.
Common depositories include the Delaware Depository, Brink’s Global Services, IDS of Delaware and Texas, and A-M Global Logistics. Your chosen custodian will coordinate shipment and intake with the depository on your behalf.
Depositories offer two storage modes: segregated (your coins are held in a dedicated account and never commingled) and non-segregated or pooled (like-kind coins of the same series are stored together and a specific bar/coin is returned on distribution). Segregated storage carries a higher fee but preserves specific-coin identity.
All IRA-approved depositaries carry all-risk insurance with Lloyd’s of London underwriting covering fire, theft, natural disaster, and employee dishonesty. Annual storage and insurance fees typically run from approximately $100 to $300, depending on account size and storage mode.
Traditional Precious Metals IRA: contributions may be deductible; growth is tax-deferred; distributions are taxed as ordinary income. Roth Precious Metals IRA: contributions are after-tax; qualified distributions (age 59½ and 5-year rule) are tax-free. Physical metals held in an IRA are treated identically to paper assets for tax purposes; the collectibles-rate long-term capital gains rule does NOT apply to metals held inside a qualifying IRA.
You can fund a Precious Metals IRA through a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer, a 60-day indirect rollover, or annual contributions. Direct transfers have no frequency limits and are not reported to the IRS as distributions. 60-day rollovers are limited to one per 12-month period across all of your IRAs (the Bobrow rule).
Eligible source accounts: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA (after two years), 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), and TSP. The 2026 annual IRA contribution limit is $7,500 ($8,600 with the age-50 catch-up, per IRS Notice 2025-67). Confirm with your CPA or custodian.
Note: Cedar Gold Group is not a tax, legal, or financial advisor. IRA eligibility information is based on IRC §408(m)(3) as interpreted at the time of publication. Consult your tax professional and IRA custodian for guidance on your specific account.
