    It's starting to look like a really good buy. Where can I get some?

    rhodium is commonly sold in wire form or foil. i am not sure which mint has
    produced a rhodium coin.

    $985 now?!!!

    Anyone have a handle on the supply/demand fundamentals for this metal, or a theory why it has dropped so much?

    It is used as a finish for jewelry, mirrors, and search lights. It is also used in electric connections and is alloyed with platinum for aircraft turbine engines. Another use is manufacturing of nitric acid and used in hydrogenation of organic compounds. Rhodium usage is dominated by autocatalyst applications where it is used together with platinum and palladium to control exhaust emissions.

    Is it possible to buy rhodium investor bars / coins? I've never seen any.

    I doubt it if anyone makes a physical bar form. The problem is the extremely high melting point and it is very hard to actually melt. Rhodium melts at 2236 K or 1963 Deg C. So for the tiny amount of demand there probably isn't anyone that would produce these in bar form, but I could be wrong.
