Platinum Purchase Formats

There are a number of physical formats you can consider when buying platinum:


  • Platinum Coins: Some coins have a "rarity" component associated with them that can add to their value. Coins are a great option but avoid purchasing based on rarity unless you really know what you're doing
  • Platinum Jewelry: Investing in jewelry is another option. You'll take craftsmansip, design, and purity into account when valuing these items.
  • Platinum Bars: Bars are typically quite pure, and stamped with the name of the production refinery. Value is directly aligned to the amount of metal in the bar.
  • Platinum ETFs: These are funds designed to follow the spot price of platinum. It doesn't mean you own anything physically, and isn't an effective hedge against total system collapse (but can be a good investment vehicle for some).

Tips For Buying Platinum In Illinois

Don't Buy Platinum On Credit

Buying platinum on credit or speculating on the future price can lead to getting yourself in a significant financial jam.


Instead, put some money to the side that you're sure you're not going to need in a short time horizon, and use that to invest.

Know And Comply With The Law

It's important to comply with the law when it comes to buying platinum, and knowing what they are goes a long way.


Under a certain dollar amount, there's no need to declare (which may be attractive to some), but once you hit a threshold you will need to (and should) declare your holdings.

The Swiss Understand Property Rights

The Swiss government is unique, in that it's highly decentralized. They simply don't have the structure that would allow for a central authority to come in and confiscate property.


Because of this, they've long been considered a safe haven for metals like platinum, and the reason we recommend considering sending some there once you've accumulated a large amount.

Stick To Physical Platinum Coins, Bullion, and Jewelry

Platinum owned through a commodities exchange, or "on paper" is no substitute for physical bars, coins, or jewelry. Exchanges are heavily leveraged, which means if everyone tried to "cash out" at once, there isn't enough physical metal to go around.


Moreover, precious metals are typically meant as a hedge against the complete collapse of the traditional banking infrastructure. If you wind up needing it, you'll want to have it close at hand!
