    Hello Stackers,

    I decided to have a look at the ratios of precious metals on a Large Stack-

    Fundamentally, there are 5 different precious metals that are stacked.

    Level 1

    Silver
    Gold
    Platinum
    Palladium
    Rhodium

    Level 2

    Each one of those is further broken down into subcategories
    i.e case of gold

    - - Gold - -
    - coins
    - bars
    - scrap
    - metal detector
    - CPU

    Level 3

    Each one of the above subcategories has its own sub-subcategories
    i.e case of coins

    - - coins - -
    - Perth Mint
    - Sovereigns
    - Foreign Commemorative
    - Foreign Circulating

    .
    .
    .


    Anyways, we seem to have on offer a Large stack which will below be broken down into the ratios by weight and value.

    5kg various Gold 42ozPalladium 24ozplatinum 330k plus For Sale still

    Gold
    5kg = 5 x 32.15 oz = 160.75 oz of gold

    Palladium
    42 oz

    Platinum
    24 oz


    So ratios by weight

    Au Pd Pt
    0.7089 0.1852 0.1058


    Ratios by value ( at spot )

    Au Pd Pt
    0.7744 0.0934 0.1321



    Nice Mix -

    I hope I havent crossed any lines above - just doing some analysis of a Large Stack.

    We all have our own ratios of Silver to gold to platinum to palladium, and always nice and educational to see how someone else did
    theirs.

    i started out at 100% silver, then moved into maybe 10%gold, then, when the opportunity presented itself (at spot or just below) i went into about 1% palladium and platinum. With recent 'global developments' i am now probably 25-30% gold. would probably move into 40% gold if i had the chance. Anyone wanna swap some premium silver for gold? PM me :D

    serious q.
