<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2088395, member: 73555&quot;]One of the problems with the other white metals, especially rounds or bars, is trying to convince a buyer down the line that they are platinum or palladium and not simply silver.&nbsp; Probably cuts down potential buyers by a factor of 50 to 1.&nbsp; Plus platinum and palladium are so valuable that they are basically hopeless for commerce, no one can &quot;make change&quot; for them, whereas 90% silver (despite the bulk) may be the preferred medium of exchange until some new currency kicks in.&nbsp; Think about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>I do not like</u> keeping PM&#039;s in a safety deposit box, for a variety of reasons, but if you can&#039;t afford a box, you shouldn&#039;t be stacking to begin with.&nbsp; A 5&quot; x 10&quot; box, if jammed full, will hold about $1200 face, and weigh 75+ pounds.&nbsp; At my credit union, I pay $32 a year for a box that size.&nbsp; In a downtown bank in a big city, you would probably pay $70 to $80 a year, still less than a clad quarter a day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
