About Us

A Philosophy:   What are the advantages of fractional gold? Flexibility and liquidity. That is, if and when the time comes to sell gold for cash, you can sell the unit of gold most reflective of your cash needs. You may only need $400 for an unexpected expense, so why sell a full ounce of gold for $2,450 when a gram or 3 makes more sense? For those of you who feel gold may someday be used as a currency for barter or trade, common sense tells us a smaller fractional gold bar may be more practical than the traditional one ounce bar. An analogy frequently used is that whereas a couple of grams of gold bars might yield an adequate amount of beef and milk in trade, the one ounce piece may force you to take the whole cow.

Benchmark Strategic Metals takes great pride in offering the greatest number of sizes of fractional pure gold bars to the general public.  Our investors are always satisfied, as well as stackers and preppers.  We offer the largest selection of sizes and weights as a measure of providence for making change when financial times are bad and there is really no good way to accurately break down large bars of precious metals without  waste and loss. All of our sizes are usually on hand and ready for shipping to fill our customer’s needs in a timely fashion. Benchmark Strategic Metals welcomes custom work. We can create custom Packaging Cards as well as Custom Dies for client images.

At the rate the fed is printing money (quantitative easing), this is an easily AFFORDABLEhedge against the Federal Reserve degrading the power of your dollars! Fact is, a 1/4 grain (not gram) bar might buy you the finest hamburger dinner! It is a great opportunity because not everyone can afford to purchase full ounces of gold to protect their investments, retirement funds, and savings from being watered down even further. So what is the regular guy or gal supposed to do? Well, . . . How do you eat an elephant? A bite at a time!! The good news is, you can invest in a smaller portion and accumulate your pile of security a little at a time! Remember; GOLD and SILVER have always been MONEY! It is wealth you can hold! And that's what we are about.
At Benchmark we purchase larger bars of pure gold Assayed and sealed from reputable LBMA sources. Once the gold is in house, it is inspected with a Sigma Identifier and then again using a Niton XRF gold analyzer.

Our die-blanks, jigs, and fixtures are made in house in our Tool room.  We try to make as much as possible in house so we can control our tolerances to insure accuracy and save on tooling to help keep our products affordable and at a competitive price level. Doing this allows us to offer a product which meets or exceeds industry standards.

Every bar of gold is weighed and checked using highly precise, laboratory grade: Ohaus and Sartorius scales which are accurate to .1 mg. The scales are calibrated with traceable standards. This is done to insure that a Benchmark customer is getting the product they are paying for.
