Photo of the gold bar. I have no idea if the serial number or seal I covered up are secure, so my apologies if this is a terrible photo

I looked around for any advice about selling gold and APMEX, local coin collectors, and /r/pmsforsale were all recommended. \”Cash for gold\” stores were universally panned.

However, since I\’m interested in eventually throwing this money into an index fund (maybe even a gold ETF) I was wondering if there\’s an easier way to liquidate this directly with a bank.

Any help is really appreciated since I\’ve never held more than a single silver dollar in my hand before. Thanks!

Edit: wow this blew up! Thanks y\’all. To clarify a few things: yes my grandparents are Chinese, but no they don\’t care about the gold bar remaining physically gold. They\’re much more interested in the grandkid becoming a doctor, so if reinvesting the gold bar helps that, they\’re fully on board 🙂
