Gold
Gold has been sought after in nearly every major culture and nation state since the dawn of time. The appeal of gold has outlasted the fall of the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Spanish, and English empires.
Gold had been in use for more than 6000 years. All throughout our past, nations have fought wars to acquire gold, and have spent vast fortunes to protect it. Today, most nation states continue to produce gold coins of varying sizes and finishes. A number of modern issue gold coins have become highly prized collectibles with values that are, in many cases, exponentially higher than the intrinsic value or denomination value.
Silver
Silver is used widely in manufacturing, as an investment/hedge against inflation, and in extreme situations for survival purposes. Silver is a more attainable investment and hedge against inflation for most people due to the lower price point per ounce. Almost all electronics contain silver creating a strong industrial demand for silver for years to come.
Some recent silver coins have gained a massive collector following are are now worth many times the intrinsic value of the silver alone.
Platinum and Palladium
One of the rarest metals on earth is platinum. Platinum is a soft and pliable metal, that is resistant to corrosion and tarnishing.
A close cousin to platinum is palladium. Like platinum, palladium is a shiny, silvery metal and is very rare. Platinum and Palladium come primarily from mines in Russia, South Africa, Canada, and the United States.
