Platinum bars are
produced in a variety of sizes by a number of private refineries. The company names most
popular are Engelhard and Johnson-Matthey. The common sizes we recommend for the investor
are the one ounce and the ten ounce bars. Bars smaller than one ounce are too expensive
and bars larger than ten ounces are too difficult to sell in the normal marketplace. Call
us for availability and prices.
