1 oz Platinum Bar

Platinum is one of the rarest and most dense metals in the Earth's crust. As a metal, it has a wide assortment of industrial applications, which include automotive catalytic converters, jewelry and various other consumer products.

One of the primary expectations of investing in platinum is that it results in being an effective store of value. Second is the potential for capital appreciation. If and when the price of platinum rises back to previous levels, investors can sell their holdings for a tidy profit.

Secondary Market Platinum Bars are an often the lowest premium method of adding diversity to your portfolio. These platinum bullion bars are offered by dealers at a lower premium than freshly minted counterparts, yet each 1 oz platinum bar contain metal that is refined to .995 or .9995 purity.

• Obverse: Varying design, with inscriptions included for weight & purity.
• Reverse: Inscriptions and stamping vary based on manufacturer.

The design will vary depending on the mint and available dealer inventory, but 1 oz platinum bars are marked to indicate the weight, purity, and many private mints include a unique serial number. Most bars will also feature additional design elements, such as the logo of the mint or hallmark.
