<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1391801, member: 19065&quot;]The offerings are scant, just look how <a href="http://images.apmex.com/Category/506/Palladium.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.apmex.com/Category/506/Palladium.aspx" rel="nofollow">few products </a>a big online bullion dealer like APMEX have for sale, when compared to the other metals. There&#039;s not a lot of awareness about palladium in a coined-sense as there&#039;s not been many denominated palladium coins available for a wider range of investors and collectors. Basically you have Canada and China who have denominated palladium coins available. While you may buy rounds and bars, the supply of government denominated and backed palladium is low and those bars and rounds are more or less exotic to many investors, if simply just out of reach for most to be investing in large bars of this precious metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the U.S. ever manages to follow through on adding a new denominated coin to the American Eagle series, I think you will start to see many of the biggest world mints ramp up awareness and marketing campaigns to begin selling these metals. Only then will new products emerge, along with interest from investors and collectors following suit. The U.S. Mint must by law deliver a report to Congress about minting palladium coins by 12/2012. We will know more after that point how the program may fair, but we will not see such coins anytime soon, perhaps not until the tail end of 2013 or beyond.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a thread on CT that has been used for gathering various bits of news and reports on the</p><p>&nbsp;<b><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t130934/?highlight=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t130934/?highlight=">American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act</a></b></p><p><b></b><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><b>For the OP:</b> As you are doing, keep studying about palladium before you sink any financial commitment into it. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Watch the other metals as well and note the near price equivalence that platinum has been maintaining with gold in the last couple of months. For the last couple of years palladium was looking very, very over priced and that&#039;s when a lot of buzz about that metal started to fester, hence we saw more and more the emergence of an Eagle coin idea. If it&#039;s profitable for the U.S. Mint (and others) to develop such precious metals coins and supply can be obtained consistently with blanks providers able to meet demand, such factors will also contribute to the availability of palladium coins. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
