Why Platinum Coins Cost More Than Bars
Sovereign mints build costs into the premium: die production, design licensing, legal tender certification, and lower production runs compared to bars. A 1 oz American Platinum Eagle typically carries a 5-8% premium over spot, compared to 3-5% for a 1 oz platinum bar from PAMP or Valcambi. The tradeoff is liquidity — dealers recognize and buy back sovereign coins at tighter spreads.
Secondary Market Platinum Coins
Random-year and secondary-market platinum coins — previously owned pieces resold by dealers — often trade at lower premiums than newly minted issues. The platinum content is identical. For buyers focused on cost per ounce, secondary-market Platinum Eagles, Britannias, and Maple Leafs are worth checking. Use the product grid above to compare — secondary-market products show up alongside current-year issues.
