<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 905363, member: 19065"]Platinum as bullion has been very overpriced the last year+ and since gold and silver have experienced recent spikes (and focused attention) platinum has dropped off, along with palladium dropping as well, a relative of Platinum. There's already a smaller investor pool for platinum than for gold or the even more accessible in price, silver PMs. Platinum is much less in demand both for bullion investment (and as mintage figures show, for collectors with numismatic interest the Mint sales figures of those collectors versions is small by comparison to AGEs or ASEs.) Perhaps investors and collectors simply perceive greater risk in platinum due to it rise in the past year and sudden dip. Many people don't think of platinum immediately in the way they do with gold or silver, if they even consider it an investment at all likening it only to it's industrial applications. Combine this with the collectors versions of the coins Yankee is trying to sell and it further reduces the amount of ready buyers. Demand is low and the floor hasn't been reached, buyers help determine the floor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
