1 oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar

Platinum production for retail investors is a relatively new phenomenon in the bullion marketplace. While platinum was first discovered in the 1700s, emerging demand for the rare precious metals has quickly allowed it to become one of the most expensive assets available. Prices of platinum are highly volatile, but mints have become bullish enough to begin selling platinum bars more commonly to retail investors.

The 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar presents a fantastic opportunity for collectors to expand their portfolio with high purity platinum.  Argor-Heraeus has been a major name in the gold bar production market for over sixty-five years. Putting their name behind this platinum bar certainly lends a newfound sense of legitimacy to the bullion product.

The 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar features .9995 platinum, which is as pure as it gets for this particular precious metal. As with all precious metal bars, this product comes with a lower premium over spot price than most coins and rounds. The art on this piece is also particularly clean, featuring an impressive level of detail on the obverse and a repeating logo design on its reverse.  

Key Features: 

• .9995 of platinum. 
• Obverse design: repeating refinery logo. 
• Reverse design: Argor-Heraeus logo, weight, and purity. 
• Can be used in Previous Metal IRAs. 

Based out of Switzerland, Argos-Heraeus has been on the forefront of the minting scene for several decades. The sleek and polished design of their coins and bars have long been respected by collectors. We always like to point out the innate benefit associated with purchasing silver, gold, and platinum bars. These precious metal products make it possible for investors to grab a significant amount of bullion without paying the exorbitant premiums often tacked onto the spot price for coins and rounds. 

Where both purity and design are concerned, the 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar does not disappoint the impressive reputation of its manufacturer. While gold and silver bars can be minted with .9999 purity, platinum is capped at .9995. The difference is generally negligible, and this platinum bar offers the highest purity possible for its compositional precious metal. Some platinum bars sacrifice aesthetic appeal for simplicity.

While this can help further cut down on costs for the savvy investor, some collectors prefer bars with an appealing face design. The 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar strikes a delicate balance between utilitarianism and aesthetic with its sleek yet brilliant face design.  The obverse of the 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar features the logo of the mint, as well as a stamp of the mint’s location, Switzerland.

The weight, purity and precious metal is also stamped into the front of this platinum bar. Like many bullion bars, the reverse of this piece is a repetitive design of the Argor-Heraeus logo. In addition to looking great, this design functions as an added security measure and reinforces the reputable source of the platinum bar. 

If you’re looking to start diversifying your portfolio with high purity platinum, Argor-Heraeus offers an exceptionally designed bar with the highest purity attainable. The 1 Oz Argor-Heraeus Platinum Bar combines aesthetic appeal with the simplistic purity that platinum bar buyers have come to love.
