PAMP Suisse Gold Bars

Produits Artistiques Metaux Precieux, better known as PAMP, is Switzerland’s best-known and one of the world’s most respected metal fabricators. In the gold industry, few other fabricators enjoy as much authority or credibility as PAMP.

For the investor, PAMP’s history of integrity, expertise and exceptional gold investment products instill confidence, whether you are a first-time or a seasoned investor. PAMP bars are universally high in quality and decorated with some of the most delicate and eye-catching designs found on production-minted bars.

Background

Established in 1977 in Ticino, Switzerland, PAMP has been a stalwart in the metal fabrication business for close to 40 years. PAMP was an early innovator in bar decoration and was the first fabricator to decorate the back of small precious metal bars, resulting in the world famous ‘Lady Fortuna’ bars in circulation today. To this day the company stays true to its sense of aesthetics, offering arresting, intricate patterns on its gold bars.

PAMP is a complete fabricator with an illustrious client base that includes high-profile investors as well as esteemed organizations the world over. While known to gold connoisseurs for its vivid designs and exceptional quality, the Swiss company also mints specialized commemorative coins for both private and national banks, in addition to offering secure, on-site storage of bullion for major customers.

PAMP Products

PAMP offers a wide variety of cast and minted gold bars and ingots. Regarded by many as the world’s premier independent refiner, PAMP gold bars are crafted from ultra-pure bullion and range in size from 1g to 1kg (1kg or kilogram = 1,000g). The most widely-traded PAMP bars are cast from 99.99% gold, and feature a depiction of Fortune, the Roman goddess of fortune.

Individual units contain unique serial numbers, and multiples of 25 units are packaged in sealed boxes. Other popular products include the hand-poured 100g loaf-style bar, the 100g Year of the Dragon bar, and the 10g Cancer “The Crab” bar, among many others.

PAMP gold bars are some of the most in-demand bullion in the industry. The bars are adorned with beautiful rendering that simply cannot be matched by other manufacturers. Astrological and mythological depictions are just some of the beautiful engravings found on PAMP gold bars. For serious investors, the imprinted serial numbers on each gold bar, accompanied with the assay certificate as guarantee for weight and purity should inspire confidence.

PAMP products are also included on the “Good Delivery” list of the London Bullion Market Association, the most indisputable standard for gold and silver bullion. Given these benefits, when you consider that the bars carry very little premium over the spot price for gold, PAMP gold bars seem the safest bet in the gold industry.

Premiums on PAMP Ingots

Gold bars are sold at premiums, the amount of which is associated with the reputation of the manufacturer, as well as the pricing strategy of the reseller. PAMP ingots generally have slightly-higher premiums than other bars due to their exceptional quality and reputation. Don’t let that higher premium discourage you, though: while you may have to pay slightly more, PAMP ingots generally retain their premiums upon resale.

PAMP gold bars are eligible for IRA accounts, and many savvy investors and prudent financial planners have already taken advantage of this. The bars offer an opportunity to individuals to diversify their financial portfolio by entering a historically-safe market that promises a stable return over time.
