I just made another post about my Pamp Suisse Palladium 1 ouncer, and figured while I was at it I'd share its platinum counterparts: a 1/2 ounce bar and a 5 gram bar. These bars also have the same design, with the Lady Fortuna design. The PAMP in Pamp Suisse stands for Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux, and as indicated by their name, they are a Swiss-made bullion.

Platinum is another beautiful metal. Here's a great overview of some of the applications platinum is used in:

Here are the 2 Pamp Suisse platinum bars (999.5) that I purchased around 2 years ago when I lived in another state:

Thanks for checking them out! I hope you appreciate their shimmer and beauty as much as I do - all of these precious metals seem to have an intoxicating effect when you gaze upon or hold them. I might sound crazy, but some of you must know what I'm talking about :D
If you have any experience with investing in platinum yourself, or have any other tips, insights, or questions I would love to hear from you!
