I took the plunge and bought a 1oz. PAMP suisse bar of palladium. I got it for $366.00 shipped which isn't bad since palladium is at $330.00 right now. It always has a nasty premium attached to it Now the mint needs to make an UHR palladium coin!!! :eat:
The mint can't make silver eagles for collector consumption. Why on earth would they embark on palladium? They'd complain that that they can't get enough "blanks"....
Silver has an extremely higher bullion demand therefore making palladium coins would be a much easier task in regards to supply. http://www.coinnews.net/2009/08/03/palladium-uhr-20-call-joined-in-us-house/
The Mint likely won't have the choice to create the coin as it will be mandated by legislation: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-758 No guarantees it will pass though.
like it matters if you can only buy PM's face to face... they will just sit in the reserve banks ready to be sent out to banks as spendable coinage :whistle:
