   Unless we can see some documented actual platinum buys and sells with all the details about the spread at the time of the buy and sell and how hard it was to put the deal together the answer is never going to be platinum. What is it with the violent smashing of square pegs into round holes that some of you find so…

   Tough choice. At this ratio, I would probably go with platinum.

   I'm not seeing a need to pay a $200 spread. Maybe $100, but gold is around $180/oz spread right now. I very recently picked up some 1oz Pt eagles at $868. Spot was $750 at the time. Pretty sure I can easily get at least spot when it comes time to sell, based on the few dealers that currently will list a buy price. Worst…

   @bronco2078, Right now a well known bullion dealer is listing their buy price on 1oz Pt eagles at $869 (almost exactly what i paid just 3 days ago). So, please tell me how i'm down $200/oz. Keep in mind I actually did pay $200 premiums on Baird Rh bars a few years back when Rh was out of fashion.

   who would pay spot for platinum right now knowing it just went from 1000 to 600 in less than a month? Its oversold? Ya just like every stock that is cratering is oversold until you actually own it yourself :D then its a slingslot straight into the abyss :D You just said you paid 868 that is $118 over spot , now list it on…

   Yeah gold is more liquid, but at this rate, the platinum has some room for growth. I’d take the platinum under these circumstances. I remember gold being 1,000 and platinum being 2,000!

    actually what I feel is that whenever there is new talk of platinum someone is desperately trying to shift some. like buy an ounce today pay 100 over spot sell an ounce today at 100 under spot meaning you need +200 from now to break even on what you buy today. such a deal :D That even a coin shop paying 50% of melt for…
