It really depends.

There is no set amount of gold contained in a "bar", bars range anywhere from fractions of a gram, to kilograms.

The most typical way of buying gold is to buy a small gold one troy ounce bar which at the time of writing sells for $1380 (plus dealer premium which might make it as high as $1450 depending on the dealer and the bar) but naturally the smaller the bar the less it would cost.

Of course fluctuations in the price of gold will cause the value of a bar to go up or down when expressed in USD and some bars trade for more than others. A "brand name" gold bar with paperwork, serial number and tamper-proof case is likely to go much higher than just a common "no name" gold bar even though they have the same weight of gold.
