Well since around 200,000 to 300,000 Canadian Maple Leaf coins were minted of palladium, vs a total of 30,000 USA palladium coins (2017 plus 2018 at 15,000 each), my guess is that the Canadian foreign palladium coins are cheaper because there are 10 times as many available, and the Queen does not look as cool as Mercury IMHO.
If you want cheap palladium for investment buy Maples. If you want a really cool looking reverse proof 2019 US palladium it will have high demand even if the price is high, if they keep the mintage low.
Now what I just found, that I did not know, is just how many others are out there in really low mintages in all kinds of interesting designs and sizes. Check this out:
I always say: don't fight the market. The price is what the price is. That doesn't however mean you ignore bubbles in markets or fall for the hype.
I don't know why this coin has been so popular. A mintage of 15,000 is a LOT for a $1500+ coin in a silvery medal, even though Palladium might currently seem exotic.
There was a time when any old Saint in 63 had a premium. There was a time when Platinum Eagles had interest and a premium. In the end, there have to be more buyers than supply for the price to go up. I'm still not convinced there are 15,000 hard core collectors of Palladium Eagles. Even if there are, I'm not sure how long they persist once the hype wears off.
The other thing I always say: buy it if you like it. PERIOD. If you start thinking in terms of profit, it moves from a hobby to pure speculation.
Palladium is inherently an uglier metal, being of a more greyish tone and doesn't have that heft of platinum (a denser metal)
I have not seen anywhere where it's utility surpasses that of platinum - that is, on all the industrial functions like catalytic converters that it mocks many of the functions of platinum but is not as good. Cheaper at one time, but not as good is my understanding. Now it is not cheaper, so given that there is a better and now cheaper metal in platinum, then what can be the future for palladium?
Love that Milled British (1830-1960) Well, just Love coins, period.

The future for both platinum and palladium is DOWN. About 1/3 of the usage is in catalytic converters. As cars go electric, that demand will completely disappear. That leaves jewelry and chemical catalysis industrially. In both of those applications, recovery/recycling rates are pretty high.
As for the current market VALUE of platinum and palladium: they are not evenly distributed in the world's crust. Over 80% of production (last I looked) came from South Africa and Russia. Both of those countries have had their share of political upheaval which tends to influence the relative price.
For a long time, palladium was cheaper because Platinum had the bulk of the catalytic converter market. Then they started using palladium because it was cheaper. They will likely switch back if the price difference persists, but it is not as simple as just flipping a lever.
As a final note: gold has very little "utility" relative to its supply. So I would not attempt to equate utility with value. Platinum is much rarer with much higher utility than gold, but look at the price.
It may happen if we get a "New Green Deal" in a few years, but it will be a long time before many in the US give up their love for V8's, and big turbo diesel pickups and semi's that can actually haul something. Yes, they make electric trucks, but I would rather have a Dodge Demon with a 707 HP V8 than a Tesla, even though the Tesla might actually be faster.
Can you imagine a Daytona 500 with quiet electric cars. Not in my remaining lifetime. LOL

This is true, but the market impact of electric will begin long before the last gas-powered car disappears.
Crazy times for Palladium, the previously quiet silvery metal.
I divested of one Maple and am in a holding pattern for the rest; just a bit of hedging after the big run up.
Regardless of the long or short term outcome, this spikage makes metals monitoring more fun.
And as others have noted (mostly bestday) I am in regardless of pricing for the RP.
This is one of the few Mint series, regardless of repeating images, that i am excited about for beauty’s sake.
I am keeping one of each palladiums in 70 for my commemorative set, regardless of price, but I already sold all my other palladium, obviously a few weeks too early, except for one Stillwater which might get sold to help pay for one nice RP.
If there are no limits during that order week, I think there could be a lot more than 15,000 orders, so I may have to be patient and just wait to get a 70 FS from a dealer on this forum.
I have a 2017 along with the 2018 palladiums, and after the fallout. I just MAY have a 2019-on the secondary market. Hopefully this will be an entertaining show .
I’m a long time viewer and I appreciate all the opinions and facts I receive on this forum. I am also collecting US Palladium coins (for now). I have a question for those of you who have collected palladium coins from other countries. Do any of your foreign coins exhibit spotting, discoloration or any other issues? I have numerous American Silver Eagles (ASE) and gold buffalo coins that have developed milk spots (ASE) or brown spots (buffalo).

Exciting, exciting price action in Palladium.

Platinum up around 10% in the last month from low of $782 to now $870. Palladium down $8, platinum up $9 this morning.
Palladium bullion although the Mint stated a few months ago that there would be a 2019 bullion version and a 2019 reverse proof, only the RP is on the 2019 Mint schedule so far.
I think there is a chance they will just cancel the 2019 palladium bullion version, like they did with the 2018 bullion version and and only do the 2019 RP palladium because of the sharp price increase in palladium the past 6 to 7 months or so.
I know the Mint does not sell bullion direct to collectors on their site, but they still have to mint and sell it to dealers.
Checked all the main Bullion dealers and no 2019 palladium US coin bullion anywhere. Mint lost money selling Pt and Pd bullion so why bother doing it when everyone wants only the RP anyway.

Going to be another interesting year for Pd for those who can get an order in. Sounds like fun! Expensive, if Pd spot continues to rise, but fun nevertheless. I am in... for now. If it gets too outrageous then will probably double down on gold instead.

Well some of that smell is from my Pd Maple Leaf's, and If I had more I would still sell them if the current uptrend has a 5% or so correction. I would not buy the dip.

Goldminers: Thanks for the link to the coinworld articl. The two quick sellouts of the 2017 platinum bullion coins-20,000 in two days with the next sellout of 10,000 in one day. For the apparent low prices on these along with seemingly low collector interest, are there others buying besides the big bullion dealers? I did purchase ONE, but imo 30,000 coins is a lot of coins, if they are being sold one or two at a time in a series that seems to be flat, especially with the reverse design the same as the 1997-2008 pieces. Interesting to say the least.
Palladium prices just won't die. They are acting like cats with 9 lives, but one of these days palladium has to go down a few hundred, and then I expect a dead cat bounce.
Silver just can't seem to get the energy to fully break $16 resistance yet. I have a lot I want to sell, but really waiting for $20+ again if I live long enough.

Up again, $26. About half way to $1,600 (edit to correct this number)

I'm still saying that. And it will happen. That was a 5 year goal not a 6 month goal.
Go look at the historical price of platinum, palladium and rhodium. Do you know rhodium used to be over $6000 per oz? This is not a permanent run-up in palladium prices, it is a temporary run-up based on supply issues. With decreasing demand over the next 2 decades, don't got caught in Pd mania.
And stop writing PA, that's Pennsylvania. Pd is the atomic symbol for palladium.
Palladium is making a hearty and fun run upwards; it is a blast to watch as it may be a rare event and worrying about things I have no control over, like North Korea, precious metal prices and the weather, helps me let go to better enjoy the ride.
It does help that the Pd Eagle is one of my favs!!
German physicist Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal, which basically states that the more accurately we know the position of something, the less certain we can be of its momentum, and vice versa.
I hope the next special coins in 2020 are approved by Congress to be minted from palladium have a new design from some of the old classics, like Mercury but different.
I would be fine if after the 2019 Reverse Proof palladium comes out, they call it quits on that design. That would help keep the long term value of a three coin palladium set with the same designs, but different finishes, more valuable to collectors.
I prefer new designs and they are not allowed by the palladium law passed by Congress. I don't want a vapor blasted one, or enhanced, or other more finish gimmicks on this design.
And on a related note I think this chart shows why Pt is due for a reversal.
Bid $1536, ask $1561. Fiat Chrysler just recalled 863,000 gasoline vehicles, and will replace all their catalytic converters which use a lot of palladium which already was in a shortage. They also messed with emission testing just like Volkswagen did with diesels a while back. Where is corporate governance these days?
Still no 2019 palladium bullion available at any dealer being mentioned, as the Mint is still not confirming if, or when they will actually mint them yet.
The Reverse Proof is still on the fall schedule, but will be very expensive it seems at this stage.

They have also not mentioned the mintage limit on the Pd eagles. So, while there is a long time to go, suppose the Mint decides to only do a short 5,000 coin run? That could be really exciting for about 10 minutes on the day of release!

A link to the article has been in the 2019 Mint Product schedule thread since November last year:
"Although the U.S. Mint had recently announced that it would offer an American Eagle palladium bullion coin in 2019, the Dec. 6 notice to authorized purchasers indicates “The availability of a 2019 American Eagle palladium bullion coin is still to be determined.”
The last I knew Dec 6th is more recent info than both of the November links that you have kindly provided, but I have been wrong before.

By the time the Mint offers the next palladium eagle it is going to be even more of a financial beat down, I believe. Which will hopefully decrease the minted number.
It will be a win for me, either way.

I half agree. With you, not Worst Day's hype.

A link to the article has been in the 2019 Mint Product schedule thread since November last year:
2019 US Mint Product Schedule published...
at $1600 spot price for PA ..what would be the Mint price for the 2019 ?
At spot $1600 Pd would be $2,037.50 from the Mint if sold now.
$2037.50.
The 2019 PM schedule has been published...

@ Goldminers -
The record close was set 2/26/19 at $1,544 / $1,569. I watch it every day and post new highs when they happen. Good you are watching too.

Sorry, sir, I am referring to actual updated news to the dealers from the Mint Dec 6th.
Did you see this Coin World article?
https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/2018/12/us-mint-announces-2019-bullion-coin-availability.html
And this is a direct quote to the dealers:
"Although the U.S. Mint had recently announced that it would offer an American Eagle palladium bullion coin in 2019, the Dec. 6 notice to authorized purchasers indicates “The availability of a 2019 American Eagle palladium bullion coin is still to be determined.”
The last I knew Dec 6th is more recent info than both of the November links that you have kindly provided, but I have been wrong before.

You are right. I was reading FAKE news mid-day from Seeking Alpha, who was referencing Reuters

I should cancel my news subscription, as your information is free, and they were just looking for a headline.

info always good
By the time the Mint offers the next palladium eagle it is going to be even more of a financial beat down, I believe. Which will hopefully decrease the minted number.
It will be a win for me, either way.
