Platinum Precious Metal

Platinum is one of my personal favourite metals. Platinum has an atomic number of 78 and a chemical symbol of PT. Platinum’s name is derived from a Spanish word platina which means little silver. Platinum is a malleable, ductile, gray white precious metal. It has 6 natural occurring isotopes. Platinum is one of the earth’s rarest elements in its crust. Platinum is the most ductile metal of the metal family i.e. Gold, Silver, Copper.

Platinum like Gold doesn’t oxidize but will and can corrode with sulphur, cyanides, halogen. Pure Platinum is a good deal harder then pure Iron. Platinum is a great metal for use in jewelry due to its inability to tarnish and durability.

Platinum can be mixed with Gold to make a beautiful wedding band or a chain with Gold and Platinum links. Platinum is a beautiful color but does and will get small scratches which are semi difficult to remove unlike Gold which is fairly easy to remove scratches out of.

Platinum isn’t a jewellers favorite metal to fix due to its hardness. Once you bend Platinum a few times its hard to retain its original shape. Jewelers have trouble some times with Platinum and setting stones if the Platinum has been bent a lot. I enjoy Platinum because I know it’s a strong metal and can definitely with stand my daily activities as a writer and philanthropist. I have never had any complaints about my

Platinum jewelry because it has never let me down. The only down side to buying a Platinum band is if the ring doesn’t fit and must be sized you need to look for a good jeweler who a long experience with sizing Platinum cause it can be tricky and the end result may not be as good as you expect with a less then seasoned expert. Platinum is a costly and rare metal but still is widely used in a vehicle catalytic converter to help with vehicle emissions.

Of the 245 tonnes of Platinum mined in 2010 113 tonnes where used in vehicle emission control devices. Platinum is used in many other things from oxygen sensors and engine parts. Platinum is mostly mined in South Africa and is much rarer to find then Gold and Silver. Platinum is often mistaken for Silver because of its similar color. Platinum like Gold and Silver has ingots and coins which are traded and collected on the precious metal market.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

I recently got divorced so I wanted to get rid of some of the jewelry my ex-husband got me. I found Nevada Coin and jewelry searching the web. When I called the guy that answered the phone was friendly and willing to quote me a price per gram. I went to their store on Flamingo, Avery whom I spoke to on the phone tested my items using some kind of x-ray machine. I could see that some of my jewelry was not the karat I thought (some lower some higher). He paid what he quoted on the phone no bait and switch. It took less than 15 minutes got my cash and got rid of some bad memories. I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell jewelry.

Always a good experience here! Definitely the place in town I enjoy buying coins from, and I’d recommend them to anybody. Helpful staff, reasonable prices, and wide selection.

My wife cashed in some coins and we got top dollar. We have sold to others before but no more, we found a real professional store in Nevada Coin & Jewelry. “Thank You”

Steve

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

Brenda

A great selection of coins and other numismatic related material. Very professional.

Outstanding experience! This is the best place to change your gold with a great attention. I’m completely impressive because they have a smooth and fast service, definitely nice people!

Pablo V.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.
