How is the platinum premium over spot calculated?
The premium is a dealer's price minus the product's melt value (the platinum spot price times the product's fine troy-ounce content), shown as a percentage. A 5% premium means you pay 5% above the metal's intrinsic value to cover minting, distribution, and dealer margin.
How often are these platinum prices updated?
Dealer prices are collected automatically and refreshed hourly. The prices shown are the cash or bank-wire basis; credit-card prices are typically a few percent higher.
Are platinum coins or bars cheaper?
For platinum, the lowest bar premium is +11.75% and the lowest coin premium is +11.75%, so bars are currently the cheapest way to buy the metal itself. Coins are easier to resell in small amounts, while bars minimize premium on larger purchases.
Prices are the cash or wire basis and may be delayed. Premiums are measured against the live spot price times each product's fine metal content. Verify the final price and shipping at the dealer before buying. See the full comparison hub for all metals, or the live platinum price and charts.
