Holding Platinum?

For those of you who hold some platinum in your stash, what is your preferred go to? 1 oz bars, commemorative rounds?

It seems like with platinum being the third wheel of stackers there isn’t a preferred choice.

Pictures always make a thread better so please post away.

    I stack gold and silver. Because of the premiums associated with platinum I own that with ETFS and miners

    Preferred size?

    If financial gain is your goal, it's got to be 1 ozers. As Justacommeman notes, the premiums are higher than silver & gold, and the smaller denominations are higher yet.

    Regardless of the denomination, you really need a longterm goal with platinum, and dollar-cost-averaging is probably the best approach as well.

    Traded my B&M 10 1-ounce PAMP gold bars for these 10 years ago this October:

    I love all my platinum. Maples, Pandas, Beasts & Eagles.
    Long-term, typical premiums are irrelevant to me.
    I will say I wouldn’t trade in bars but that goes for all metals.

    Pamp 1, 2.5, and 5 gram versions are the easiest to sell.

    I collected the 1/2 oz proof $50 eagles until they stopped making them. Think I have a couple 1oz proofs, and at least 1 of every denomination. I just liked the 1/z size. It was a good compromise between price and being able to still see the image on the coin.

    Is the mechanic hobby cutting them off, welding them back on, or welding them on so they don't get cut off and recycled again, or all of the above? LOL

    Edited to add: Rhodium just hit $26,000/ounce!!!. Getting close to $1,000 a gram which is just insanely high. Those converters are real money, even with platinum at about $1,200 an ounce and palladium at $2,300.
