Platinum
As a metal platinum is 30 times rarer than gold and Louis XV of France declared
platinum is the only metal fit for a king.
It was only used in jewellry manufacture towards the end of the 19th centuary
as it is a difficult metal to work with.
Our current purchase price for platinum is £11.00 per gram for hallmarked
platinum.
Please note if your platinum has no hallmark then it
has to be smelted before we can verify and make a payment.
We have a minimum quantity for smelt of 200 grams
There are also coins made from platinum, namely:
The American Platinum Eagle, issued in 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10 Troy
ounce which are .9995 fine platinum
Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf, issued as above plus 1/20 troy ounce and the Australian Platinum Koala
