FREE: Rhodium (Rh) bullion 1 gram

The listing, Rhodium (Rh) bullion 1 gram has ended.

Rhodium is up to $10,000 a Troy ounce these days, so this is not far from melt value. It might be the only available bullion coin in the metal. See Rare World Metals Mint's description for more details. Free shipping.

If you would like a lower price, I will try to purchase the coin from an eBay seller. Post me a request. I might be able to lower the price by 20% with that route.

Rhodium was discovered by William Hyde Wollaston in 1803 and is used in jewelry fabrication, in nuclear reactors and electrical contacts, and as a catalyst in the automotive and chemical industries. The combination of its extreme rarity and important industrial uses, have caused prices to swing wildly over the years...
