A Sealed Ounce of Palladium
Palladium is the precious metal most stackers never own, next to gold, silver and platinum. This listing is one troy ounce of it at .9995 fine, sealed in an assay card from a recognized refiner. You do not choose the brand.
The Metal, and Who Makes the Bar
Most palladium goes into catalytic converters rather than coin tubes, so there is only a small bar market for it. The bars that exist come from refiners like PAMP, Credit Suisse and Johnson Matthey, each sealing a .9995 ounce behind a printed card that lists the weight, the fineness and a serial number.
What Varies, and How It Trades
You receive whichever card is in stock when your order is picked. It might be a PAMP bar with the Fortuna design in a blue card, a Credit Suisse bar with the plain bank logo over ONE OUNCE PALLADIUM 999.5, or another recognized maker.
Because many of these bars reach us through the secondary market, the listed condition is used. The sealed bar inside is untouched; what you may see is light wear on the card from shelf time. The serial printed on the card matches the bar sealed behind the window.
Palladium also moves in a thinner market than gold or silver. The gap between the buy price and the sell price is wider, the day to day swings are sharper, and there are fewer buyers when you go to sell. Hold it because you want the metal, not because it is the cheap ounce in the case.
Why the Assay Card Matters
For a bar this valuable in a package this small, the serial on the card and the sealed window are the authentication. A buyer checks the card against the bar without opening anything. Break the seal and you make that harder, so leave the bar in the card.

Palladium Bar FAQ
Which refiner’s bar will I receive?
Whichever one is in stock when your order is filled. It could be PAMP, Credit Suisse, Johnson Matthey or another recognized refiner. All are one troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium in a sealed assay card.
Why is this bar listed as used?
Many of these bars come to us through the secondary market rather than straight from the refiner. Most arrive near new and still sealed. The assay card can show minor shelf wear, and the sealed bar inside is unaffected.
How is palladium different from gold or silver to hold?
It trades in a smaller market. Expect a wider gap between the buy and sell price, sharper price swings, and fewer buyers when you sell. The metal is genuinely scarce, which is the draw, but the trading is less forgiving.
Should I keep the bar in the assay card?
Yes. The card, its serial number and the sealed window are how the bar is verified. Taking the bar out does not change the palladium, but it makes resale slower and can cost you on the offer.
Is the palladium bar IRA eligible?
Yes. At .9995 fine from a recognized refiner it meets the fineness a precious metals IRA requires, and our Specifications tab lists it as IRA eligible.
