5 grams is a common size for small gold bars, rings and chains. Here’s what it’s worth now.
Buying a 5 gram gold bar
Small bars from refiners such as PAMP, Valcambi and the Royal Canadian Mint come sealed with a certificate. Expect to pay more per gram than for a 1 oz bar. When you sell, dealers usually pay close to spot. See gold bullion bars and how much a gold bar weighs.
