For what it is worth, not than many will be buying 250g bars: http://www.lbma.org.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=144&title=stolen_bar_reports We have received the following details from Umicore, concerning the theft of a batch of gold bars from one of its facilities in Europe. Photographic images of the type of bar stolen can be viewed by clicking here. http://www.lbma.org.uk/assets/GDL_umicore_20120228.pdf Date: 28th February, 2012 Material: 250 gram, 999.9 fineness gold bars with brand name Umicore Weight: Total weight 12500 grams (50 bars each of 250 grams) Bar numbers: S 29540 - S 29589
Probably melted and re-cast now anyway... I like the Umicore bars, though they're pretty much a product in the UK and European market, I don't see them often here anyway.
