Hi All,
First time posting and long time lurking. I've learned alot from many intelligent members on this board, thank you.
I've seen Silver, Gold, and Platinum Engelhard Prospectors but never seen the Palladium. Does anyone know if it is in existence?

    I have never heard of a Pd Prospector. Given that it wasn't included into their (uber cool) lucite set, I would assume it doesn't exist.
    Calling SilverBaron, I am sure he can answer to your question.

    Welcome! I may be wrong, but I think that Silver Baron posted a set of Prospectors from the mid-1980's or so that included various precious metals.

    Thank you all for a warm welcome. I searched through many posts on this forum but haven't heard or seen an image of Pd Prospector. Yes, that would include many of SilverBaron's posts as well.
    There are a couple Engelhard forums that I found online and none of them have any image or info of this round. Perhaps this round never been made or someone do a very good job of hiding them. I'll be very surprised to see one surface in the future, you never know.....

    I don't think Palladium was so popular in the early 80's.
    That may be the reason why Engelhard produced the prospectors in only Gold, Platinum and Silver.
    Btw, speaking of SB's set(s), all the coins but the silver are doubled, IIRC.

    The Stillwater rounds made by JM have a reasonably similar design, depicting 19th century America:

    I think they'd make a neat addition to an otherwise all-Prospector set.

    Yes, they're are nice but they're Stillwater rounds. Speaking of which, I haven't seen any Pd JM round (with JM logo on the round) anywhere.
    Perhaps Palladium wasn't popular in the 80s, hence no JM or Engelhard rounds were made....but there are JM and Engelhard bars made in the 80s. Hmm, still some mysteries about the rounds.

    Engelhard did make 1 oz. Palladium bars -- see examples here and here -- but I've never seen or heard of a Palladium Prospector round.
