Honestly... does anyone here own any Rhodium?

It was $500/oz. in Dec 2003 ... Now.... $9,000/oz !!!! (18 fold!!) yikes!

No Rhodium. Some enriched uranium, though.

I have some audio cables made with Rhodium.
Crooks broke in and stole all my coins, but didn't
notice stereo cables made of gold, silver, and rhodium.

And if yes, explain in what form (Not going to accept that there is some in your car)

Griv · February 21, 2008 12:30PM

I had about 40 pounds of it but I sold it a little while ago to fund a revolution in a small country in SE Asia, but it didn't work out so I guess my answer is no.

Oh, how much for that enriched uranium and do you take PayPal?

Yes, in liquid form..........jewelers use it to plate white gold !

i own a Montblanc #149 Fountain pen.. the huge black "king of fountain pens" they've been making for decades, that currently sells "at finer stores" for about $600.00.. i don't really ever use it.. it's stored in its clamshell case in a safe place and i take it out and admire it once in a while.. i'm too paranoid to carry around a pen that expensive, and these days, most of the stuff you have to sign is multi-part, and fountain pens' nibs get ruined if you use that much pressure to write on a multi-part form.. i'm saving it for when i retire and write my novel {uh-huh}.. anyway.. the huuuuuuuuge nib on the modern ones is 18k yellow and white Gold.. or yellow Gold and Platinum.. just do an eBay search for "Montblanc 149" and you'll find plenty.. the nib on mine is 14k Gold.. i think mine was made in the 1980s or 1970s.. supposedly, the older ones with 14k Gold nibs are "better" somehow, but not being a fountain pen expert, i couldn't tell you how.. however, the very tip of the nib, the part that actually touches paper when you write with it is Rhodium.. i don't know how MUCH Rhodium, it can't be much.. but Rhodium nonetheless.. so, as far as i know, that's all the Rhodium i own

.. well, except for this 20 lb. paperweight..

ChrisRx · February 21, 2008 1:27PM

Well I have a question: Do they come in 1 oz. bars at least?

Some watches do use Rhodium. Looked at a couple two years ago. Then decided there were a lot better things I could do with that kind of money.

I think there is some in my muffler system----------------------BigE

I have a boatload of sterling chain that is rhodium plated. Keeps it from tarnishing. I'd bet the silver content is FAR more valuable than the Rhodium plating.

Rhododendron but no Rhodium

dbldie55 · February 22, 2008 4:27AM

When did the US start to make coins out of rhodium?

Cameonut · February 22, 2008 7:15AM

I have several ounces of rhodium sponge. Looks like finely divided grey dust. It is the normal precursor to making autocatalyst (long story).

I have also looked for rhodium in bar form - never found it - but I will admit to not looking that hard at current prices.

Over the years, rhodium prices have cycled up and down. I sure wish I had bought more when the prices were much lower.

Didn't she have a TV show?
