About this product
The 1 gram platinum bar is the smallest common way to own physical platinum. It holds one gram of .9995 fine platinum and is usually sealed in an assay card. This page compares what US dealers charge for a 1g platinum bar right now, with the full price from each dealer in one table.
What is a 1g platinum bar?
Small platinum bars are minted by refiners such as PAMP Suisse, Valcambi or Argor-Heraeus. The offers on this page are generic, which means the dealer ships whatever brand it has in stock. Key facts:
- Fineness: Pt .9995, the standard for investment platinum.
- Packaging: most bars come sealed in a tamper evident card. Keep it sealed, because an intact card makes resale easier.
- Design: any mint offers mean the look of the bar varies from order to order.

Who is the 1g platinum bar for?
Why buy platinum one gram at a time? It suits you if you:
- want to try platinum with a small outlay before you buy larger pieces,
- like to add a little metal every month,
- want a small gift that is real bullion.
The trade off is the premium. Making and packing a 1 gram bar costs almost as much as a much heavier one, so the premium over spot per gram is far higher than on a 1 oz bar. If you plan to hold more platinum, compare the 1oz platinum bar Valcambi and the 1oz American Eagle platinum coin. All bars are listed in the platinum bars category.
What to check before you buy
- Premium over spot: compare the full price with the platinum value of one gram on the platinum price chart.
- Shipping: on a small order, a flat shipping fee can change which dealer is cheapest. Check the minimum order for free shipping.
- Brand: generic offers are cheaper. Pay extra for a named brand only if you care about it.
- Condition: some dealers sell bars in any condition. That is fine for bullion, but the card may show wear.
- Authenticity: buy from known dealers and check the assay card and serial number. See how to spot fake coins for simple checks.
Tax on platinum bars in the US
Is there sales tax on platinum? It depends on your state. Many states exempt bullion, others tax small purchases.
When you sell, the IRS treats platinum bullion as a collectible, so long term gains can be taxed at a higher maximum rate than gains on stocks. Our guide to tax on gold explains the same collectibles rules. Platinum of .9995 fineness can be held in a self directed IRA, but check with your custodian and read about IRA eligible gold and silver first.
1g platinum bar or a larger bar?
A 1 gram bar is easy to buy and easy to gift. A 1 oz bar holds about 31 times more platinum at a much lower premium per gram. Do you want to start small or get the most metal for your money? Check the platinum investment section and the glossary if a term is new to you.

Who makes 1 gram platinum bars?
Common makers are PAMP Suisse, Valcambi and Argor-Heraeus, and generic offers mean the dealer chooses the brand.

Is the 1g Platinum Bar IRA eligible?

How we rank
When every dealer publishes shipping, we sort by total price (product price plus shipping). If any dealer does not, we sort by product price so nobody benefits from missing information; we show the total wherever we know it. The premium is the amount paid above the metal value at the spot price. Nobody pays for a higher position.
Prices are updated automatically from dealer product feeds. Final price, shipping and availability are confirmed by the dealer.
