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.

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

Wonderful experience, Nick and Laura made it seamless and stress free. Thank you! They also sell super cool items!!

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

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.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

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.

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”

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

Dean & Judy

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.
