What is Platinum Bullion? Should I Invest?

Bullion is a precious metal, like gold or platinum, that is valued primarily for its weight, purity, and metal content rather than its rarity or collectible factor. So, for example, a platinum wedding band may not be considered bullion because its value is primarily from being a beautiful, decorative piece. But a bar of .999 platinum would be bullion because its main purpose is its value as a metal.

Bullion is typically what you should buy if you are purchasing platinum with the intent to invest. It typically comes in bars, coins, and rounds.

Types of platinum bullion
Form Common sizes Examples
Coins 1 oz, plus fractional sizes American Platinum Eagle, Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf
Bars 1 oz, 10 oz, 1 kilo Mint-sealed bars from PAMP, Valcambi and others
Rounds 1 oz Privately minted, usually the lowest premium

Platinum Bullion vs Gold Bullion

Platinum is especially appealing as a bullion investment because of its rarity. It is about 30 times rarer than gold! It originates on earth from ancient asteroid impacts, and is only mined in a few regions, primarily in Russia and South Africa. Despite being more rare than gold, it is usually bought and sold for quite a bit less, which makes it easier to invest in.

Platinum has a very strong industrial demand, being used in catalytic converters, medical industries, and jewelry. It is often used as a coating for hard drives and semiconductors as well, and with the increase in data centers across the world, platinum will likely see its prices continue to shift.

Platinum also happens to be denser than gold, making it very durable for every-day use if you want to get a ring or some other type of jewelry.

Very rare. Platinum is about 30 times rarer than gold, and far less of it is mined each year. Most of the world's supply comes from just a few places, mainly South Africa and Russia, so a mine shutdown or a supply problem in one region can affect the whole market.

Even so, platinum usually trades for less per ounce than gold. See the live platinum spot price chart for today's price.

Nobody can say, and we do not predict prices. Platinum is a volatile metal. Its price moves with industrial demand (especially from the auto industry), mining supply, the strength of the dollar, and investor interest, and it can rise or fall quickly.

Platinum is priced below gold today, which some buyers find interesting, but a lower price does not guarantee a future gain. Past performance does not predict future results, and you can lose money on any purchase.

This is general information, not financial advice. Talk with a licensed financial advisor before deciding whether platinum fits your goals.

The spot price of platinum changes throughout the day. Check our live platinum spot price chart for the current price per ounce and its history.

Spot is the price of raw platinum on the market. Coins and bars sell for spot plus a premium that covers minting, refining, and distribution, and the premium varies by product. See the current price of each coin and bar in our platinum shop.

Most platinum goes into industry. The biggest use is catalytic converters, which clean exhaust from cars and trucks. It is also used in the chemical and glass industries, in medical devices and some cancer drugs, in electronics such as hard drives, and in hydrogen fuel cells.

Jewelry is the other major use. Platinum is dense and durable, so it holds up well in rings and other everyday pieces. Investors also buy it as bullion in the form of coins and bars.

Both are precious metals sold as bullion, but they are priced very differently. An ounce of platinum costs many times what an ounce of silver does. Compare today's prices on our platinum and silver spot price charts.

Platinum is far rarer and much denser, so a platinum coin or bar is small for its value and easy to store. Silver costs less per ounce, so you can buy in smaller steps, but it takes more room to hold the same dollar value. Both have strong industrial demand, and both can rise or fall in price.
