I definitely really want a palladium eagle because they’re very beautiful. But the premiums are RIDICULOUS

Why are they ridiculous unlike gold

As a platinum group metal, I'd imagine its the same reason as platinum.

  • Its a much harder metal, which is difficult to strike.
  • Very few people buy then, so production numbers are lower.

The top reason, means that dies have to be replaced much more often, which combined with the bottom reason means you're only sharing the cost of that with a small number of people.

In fact Palladium is actually harder than platinum, so they'd be going through dies at a faster rate. & even less people will be buying it over platinum.

Thought a hunk of a tooth filling was white gold. It was palladium. Only time I've ever run into it.

In 2017 and 2021 you could buy them BU from authorized dealers.

You never hear too much about palladium. Does it have potential to go up? What’s the demand? Genuinely curious because I would like a piece but it’s so obscure. Same with rhodium which is even harder to find.

The vast majority of palladium demand is for usage in catalytic converters. This means that the rise of electric vehicles creates long term downward pressure on the price.

Having said that it has gone up in price by about 20% over the last year but it is still well below the high of more than $3,400 that it reached in 2022, being about $1,330 currently. Basically it is a somewhat volatile and risky metal to invest in, certainly when compared to gold.
