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 Louisiana

Avoid The Banking System

Physical precious metals like platinum are a hedge to the traditional banking system. In a crisis, if the system collapses, it may very well take your property down with it (if it can).


If there is a run on the banks, having your platinum under your direct control means they can't confiscate it, block access to it, or have loaned it out in a leveraged fashion.

Stay Liquid

Having liquid platinum on-hand and ready in the event of a crisis is the best hedge. Being invested in platinum ETFs is fine depending on your objectives, but if you're truly hedging against unforeseen market collapses, you want physical metal in your possession.

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.

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.
