    I REALLY want to buy some ruthenium but I can't find it for sale as bullion anywhere. 3 times rarer than gold and platinum, mostly only found in traces in platinum ore, just as useful and only $56USD an ounce having been as high as $900 in the last 10 years!
    We should get on this. I think it's going to be the next rhodium.

    http://www.rwmmint.com/products/ruthenium US$229 for an ounce Sold Out. but on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/rareworldmetals/m.html?item=181672785600&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 (Postage is painful)

    Or there are these guys: http://stores.ebay.com/Element-Collection selling pellets of various weights.

    http://www.platinumgroupmetals.org/ Tom and Joe have wise words.


    ...and if you are going to invest heavily, perhaps you need one of these: http://www.zazzle.com/ru_ruthenium_chemistry_periodic_table_symbol_piocflask-256647986089297786

    I picked one up on feeBay at rather more than I would have hoped, but less than the going rate - now there are eight on sale, up to A$380 (ouchie) - flash in the pan, irrational exuberance or flipper heaven? Time will tell.

    Damn strange model, though. I can understand 500 mintages for Palau or Niue, but Canada? For a sexy (possibly over-sexed) Maple? Maybe they are going to take a leaf out of PMs book and start releasing privy versions.

    One can only hope, given my track record of dismal investments in multiple markets I'm due for a turnaround....

    I love the look of these! Apparently they were sent out but they had CoAs for 2014 coins but the actual enhancements were done on 2015 coins. So now the dealers are waiting for the newer 2015 CoAs before sending them out or so I am told.

    I just bought one in the UK for the equivalent delivered price of $125AUD

    Seems they are not quite as popular over here, plenty available at that price.

    I'm sure he had 10 earlier. Must have sold them outside Ebay.

    Glad you got one for a good price anyway.

    I received my $125 one the other day.

    I have to say, I really like it, cracking coin.

    Little bonus was 025/500 COA so quite low.
