“With something this big”

275 lbs won’t be very big. Maybe 9” by 9” by 7”.

Gold is very, very dense and a small quantity weighs a lot.

Lesseee. 275 lbs is 124738 grams. Gold is 19.3g/cc. So that's 6463.11 cc. Or 394.4 cubic inches of gold.

So, if the ingot is 9" by 9", that means it's 4.87" thick. Don't drop it on your foot!
