99.9% pure · 24/24 · hallmarked 99924K is gold with nothing meaningful added — 99.9% pure, stamped 999 or 9999. With no hardening alloy in it, it is genuinely soft: a 24K ring bends against a door handle and scratches against a car key, which is why almost nowhere sells it as everyday jewellery.
Its real home is investment: bars, minted coins and the heavy chains some families buy by weight as savings rather than as ornament. Buying 24K, you are buying metal — the only two numbers that matter are the weight in grams and the premium the dealer adds over spot.
That purity also makes it the easiest karat to resell. A bar from a recognised refiner with its assay intact trades close to spot anywhere in the world, while jewellery of any karat is bought back on gold content alone — the craftsmanship you paid for is not part of the offer.

USA gold market
In the US, gold prices are quoted per troy ounce in USD, with the COMEX (CME Group) GC futures contract setting the global reference. There is no federal VAT, but state-level sales tax may apply to bullion purchases below $1,000–$2,000 (varies by state — Texas, Florida and many others fully exempt investment-grade gold). Major retail bullion dealers (APMEX, JM Bullion, Money Metals) price coins and bars at spot + a 2–5% premium.
