Asahi Refining has been working hard to get its full lineup of silver bars on the market, and now its gold bullion bars are also rolling off the production line for investors to purchase. The long-awaited release of its 1 oz gold bars has occured, and the first 1,000 released are available right now from Silver.com.

Bar Highlights:

  • The first 1,000 bars struck! Serials #1-1000! We cannot honor requests for specific serial numbers.
  • Arrives in a sealed plastic card including assay.
  • Consists of one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • Asahi Refining logo on the reverse.
  • Struck by Asahi Refining’s North American refineries.

Each 1 oz Gold Asahi Refining Bar in this product listing is available from the release of the first 1,000 gold bars from the mint. The most popular gold bullion bar weights are 1 oz and 10 oz, making these a highly anticipated release for investors.

Asahi Refining made a high-profile purchase of Johnson Matthey facilities in 2014. The sale led Johnson Matthey to exit the precious metals industry after more than 150 years as one of the leading brands in the industry. The sale, completed for roughly $162 million (USD), resulted in Asahi ownership of refineries in Salt Lake City, Utah and Brampton, Ontario, Canada, as well as a third location in St. Catharines, Canada.

On the obverse of the bar there are no engravings, only the rough, matte finish that resulted from the production process. The reverse side has the Asahi Refining logo at the top and the individual serial number for the bar at the bottom.

Asahi Refining originated as a scrap metal collector and recycler in Tokyo, Japan. The company was founded in the 1950s, but did not garner further brand recognition around the globe until its recent purchase of Johnson Matthey assets. Following the purchase, Asahi struggled to produce silver bars due to immense demand for silver and shortages throughout 2015.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
