Platinum bar - 1 gram - .9995 bullion
Long ago we decided not to try to compete with existing commercially available precious metals products but as we have already filled out many of the metallic elements in the periodic table, the glaring holes of some of the most intriguing and precious of the elemental metals still unfilled are becoming more obvious. We thus decided it was time to offer our customers options to obtain from us some of these other elemental metals such as gold, platinum, palladium, and rhodium.
We are offering platinum bullion produced by PAMP in Castel San Pietro, Switzerland. These 1 gram PAMP Suisse bars will come sealed in their original blister packs. Likely known in ancient times as its native form can be found in placer deposits, though potentially mistaken for silver at that time and later referred to as white gold, the discovery of platinum is generally credited to Spaniard Antonio de Ulloa in 1748. With a concentration in the earth's crust of only 0.005 parts per million, platinum is among the rarest of the metals. It is king of the platinum group of metals that also includes iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodium, and ruthenium. Platinum is the most ductile elemental metal and is also extremely corrosion resistant and beautiful with a silvery-white, lustrous finish. It has uses in jewelry, investment bullion issued by government and private mints, electronics, medicine, and perhaps most importantly as a chemical catalyst including in catalytic converters along with palladium and rhodium.
