What “Good Delivery” means (and why your 10 oz bar isn’t one)

Good Delivery is the London club’s spec for the huge bars banks move — about 400 ounces of gold. Your 1 oz and 10 oz bars are retail.

Retail bars are not London Good Delivery bars

Good Delivery is a London (LBMA) rulebook for the big bars.

A Good Delivery gold bar is roughly 350–430 troy ounces, usually talked about as ~400 oz, from a listed refiner. Silver Good Delivery is a 1,000-ounce-class bar. LBMA.

What you have

A 1 oz, 10 oz, or kilo bar is retail. Perfectly real if the name is good. Not a Good Delivery bar. The TV commercial with a forklift is not your product. Kilo.

Why the ads love the forklift

IRA and vault spots show the big bars, then sell you fractional coins at a fat premium. Gold IRA commercials.

If you inherited a huge unmarked brick, do not drill it in the garage. Bring it. Tungsten. Call ahead.
