American Eagle Platinum Coins
 
The American Platinum Eagle coin, initially minted in 1987, is the first and
only official investment-grade platinum coin from the U.S. Mint. All American
Eagles are legal tender coins with their “face value” imprinted in U.S. dollars
but the one-ounce Platinum Eagle coin displays the highest face value ever to
appear on a U.S. coin -- $100 dollars. This coin is extremely popular with
investors and collectors who find the coin’s beauty and the purity guarantee of
the U.S. Mint irresistible. The obverse depicts the head of America’s symbol of
freedom, the Statue of Liberty and the reverse shows an American Eagle soaring
high above the earth.
Australian Koala Platinum Coins
 
Platinum’s brilliant white luster has been treasured by kings and queens for
over 3,000 years. As the rarest precious metal, platinum, becomes even harder to
source, the coins in the 2001 Australian Koala platinum series are eagerly
sought by collectors and investors alike. Australia’s unique wildlife is
renowned the world over. The latest design shows two hungry koalas on a
eucalyptus branch, superimposed over a map of Australia. The Perth Mint pays
scrupulous attention to detail at each stage of the exacting minting process.
The A$10,000 face value of the 1992 1 kilo Platinum Koala is the highest face
value on any legal tender coin. The face value changed in 1993 to A$3,000.
Canadian Maple leaf Platinum Coins
 
Though not in current production, this high-quality pure platinum coin from
The Royal Canadian Mint remains in high demand. Discontinued because of the
recent scarcity of high-grade platinum minting blanks, the coins were minted in
1 ounce, ½ ounce, ¼ ounce and 1/10 ounce. The traditional national symbol of
Canada, The Maple Leaf, appears on the obverse of the coin with the sculpture of
Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse. The coins are a source of instant liquidity
and can sometimes be found in after-market trading. Although they are scarce,
our traders are sometimes able to obtain them. Investors and collectors should
call our trading desk for availability.
Isle Of Man Noble Platinum Coins
 
The Isle of Man, an ancient British protectorate, is well known for
producing a variety of high-quality coins with innovative and unusual designs.
From 1983 through 1989, The Pobjoy Mint of England produced The Platinum Noble
in sizes ranging from 10 ounces to 1/10 ounce. The reverse of all coins features
the magnificent Viking longship, “Thusly,” heading under full sail from left to
right of the coin. The obverse features the young Queen Elizabeth II with crown.
Though no longer in mintage, these coins are available from time to time. Check
with our trading desk for availability.
Johnson Matthey Platinum Bars
Platinum is referred to as “the most precious precious metal.” It is also
one of the most versatile and widely utilized. Over 15 times more gold is mined
each year than platinum but over 20% of all manufactured products rely on
platinum at some stage of their production process. Platinum is a daily part of
our lives. It is involved in the production of fiberglass, aspirin, computers,
and lasers. Its greatest use in industry is as a control to pollution. It is
most widely used in automobile catalytic converters, which help to limit exhaust
emissions. Jewelry industry leaders use platinum as the perfect vehicle for
their ultimate jewelry creations.
