There are several options available when looking to invest in platinum. The number of platinum bullion coins has increased in the 21st century as more mints respond to growing interest in the metal by introducing new design collections. Platinum bars are also available to investors looking to diversify beyond gold and silver. One of the most affordable ways to do so is with a varied-condition listing. Provident Metals now has 5 oz Platinum Bars in varied conditions available to you for purchase online.
Highlights:
When you purchase these 5 oz Platinum Bars at Provident Metals, please remember that is possible to receive the bars in various packaging. Whenever a product is available in its original packaging from the mint, such as a secure bar capsule, you will receive the item in that original packaging. Other items will be packaged in generic flips or sleeves, with some wrapped in protective materials inside of cardboard boxes.
In this type of listing, Provident Metals chooses the specific item for you after your payment has been processed. We are unable to guarantee a particular design and condition for your specimen in advance. The bar you receive could be in brand-new condition, have minor production flaws, or show signs of heavy wear and tear. Please remember that it is possible to get bars with the same design elements and in the same condition should you buy several bars.
Designs
While it is not possible to guarantee the specific 5 oz Platinum Bar you will receive, we can offer a rundown of possible design elements. One of the most common and most popular platinum bar series is the Fortuna collection from PAMP Suisse. The 5 oz Platinum Bar in that series shows Fortuna in left-profile relief on the obverse side of the bar, with the mint logo, weight, purity, metal content, and a serial number issued on the reverse of the bar.
History
Varied-condition listings such as this one at Provident Metals offer an affordable option to invest in platinum. Rather than purchasing a known product, brand-new from the mint, you get a lower spot price as a result of the random nature of the listing. Please note that the design mentioned above is merely an example and not a guarantee of the bar you will receive.
