What is the difference between the investment bullion platinum coins and the proof/circulation coins?
What are the differences are there?
I’m talking about the difference between the collector’s version and the internationally used bullion form. I know they’re both made by the US government
Proof coins are struck slightly deeper and have shiny or matte surfaces different from the regular issues as well as a much smaller mintage (number of coins struck). For this reason, they command a premium over the usual
10% markup over melt value of the metal itself in regular government-issued bullion coins. The link below will show you the spot value of the five most comon precious metals. If you’re thinking about buying any, it’s usually best to go to a local reputable (in business a long time) coin dealer so you can see the coin and feel the weight of what you are buying. Good Luck!
