For the first time in its minting history, the US has produced a $100 Proof High Relief coin. In 2015, the U.S. Mint issued a different $100 High Relief coin, but it was considered a Mint State coin as opposed to a Proof coin.
This coin also features a “Deep Cameo” look, which NGC calls “Ultra Cameo.” Deep Cameo means that the coin has a fully frosted finish and has completely reflective fields.
American Liberty 225th Anniversary Gold Coins have a 100 Dollar denominational value and are minted in .9999 24–karat gold, in high–relief.

In this article, World Platinum Investment Council explores the theme of Platinum’s Correlation to Gold and what this suggests for Platinum Investors.
Platinum is a precious metal that is also industrial. As an investment asset, platinum’s value is influenced by its supply demand fundamentals and also the macro trends that affect precious metals. More investors are considering platinum’s macro responses when looking for an alternative to equities; this could increase platinum investment demand.
Market view: Gold is acknowledged as the investment asset least correlated with other investment classes. It’s called a currency more often than a commodity but yet it is included in many commodity indices.
Our view: Platinum remains in lockstep with gold and consequently offers similar benefits. The sustained high correlation between the price of platinum and the price of gold since 2011 suggests that platinum offers investors an alternative investment that is ‘as good as gold’.
Many investors looking for asset classes largely to diversify risk, consider commodities or gold. Gold is included in many portfolios as a hedge against macro events, global risk, interest rates, inflation, etc., and is reliably traded on macro trends — more particularly those that directly impact the US dollar.
Platinum offers similar qualities. When (or ‘if’ as critics suggest) platinum shrugs off the negative sentiment that currently overwhelms its supply demand fundamentals, this diversifier also offers interesting upside, in our view, but remains ‘as good as gold’ until then.

Gold rallied 2% to reach the 1290 level, a level last seen in June. This is the first time in 4 weeks that Commercials increased their shorts position significantly.

An overview of the report:
This article tackles investors’ concern on the negative impact that powertrain electrification would have on platinum demand. Recently, an announcement was made for the Ultra Low Emission Zone in London. This is a plan set to ban sales of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040 to reduce air pollution.
Excerpt from Platinum Perspectives July 2017:
We believe the market is overestimating the negative impact of powertrain electrification (moving to EVs) on platinum demand. We explain why EVs represent only a limited risk to platinum demand (even excluding potential demand upside from Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles, or FCEVs).
Market assumption:EVs don’t contain platinum. Some market participants confuse EVs and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). For example, Volvo’s announcement that it would be producing only ‘electric’ cars post 2019 was significantly misinterpreted by many press sources.
Our view: In fact; Volvo committed to producing only cars that have an electric motor. This will include five new BEVs, the balance being hybrids, which can have gasoline or diesel internal combustion engines, and require platinum group metals (PGMs). Given mild hybrids are expected to gain significant market share, it is likely that most of Volvo’s cars will contain PGMs, post 2019 and in the foreseeable years to come. Different types of EVs have significantly different effects on platinum demand.
Conclusion – most EVs contain PGMs. “Electrification” (e.g. as defined by Volvo) may not have a negative effect on platinum demand. Diesel share is more important; our June 2017 Platinum Perspectives explains why we believe diesel share may be higher for longer.

Platinum Quarterly is commissioned by the World Platinum Investment Council and based upon independent research and analysis conducted by SFA (Oxford). It is our intention to publish similar commentary every quarter ensuring greater transparency of the global platinum market and the delivery of regular data to investors.
The next Platinum Quarterly will be published on 6th September 2017.
This eleventh edition of the Platinum Quarterly, published on 15th May 2017, includes Q1 2017 analysis of platinum supply and demand fundamentals. It also gives a view of the global above ground stocks of platinum and an outlook for market fundamentals for 2017.
An overview of this report
This report incorporates analysis of platinum supply and demand during the first quarter of 2017, during which time total mine supply hit 1,330 koz, down 6.3% year-on-year and the lowest since Q3 2014.
- Today’s report shows that overall platinum supply is projected to fall by 2% year-on-year to 7,330 koz in 2017, with both primary and secondary supply expected to decline.
- Recycling is projected to fall by 6% year-on-year to 1,760 koz in 2017. Secondary supply from jewellery recycling is projected to decline by 20% year- on-year with recycling trends normalising following unusually large stock flows in China last year.
- Automotive demand for 2016 and 2017 is revised upward by 45 koz. The revisions reflect higher than expected global vehicle sales with increased loadings, while greater scrutiny of emissions is also believed to be limiting moves to thrift platinum loadings.
- Global platinum ETF holdings grew by 65 koz in the first quarter, with increases observed across most regions. ETF assets in the quarter were at their highest level since the fourth quarter of 2015. Bar and coin demand during the first three months of 2017 was supported by the minting of 20,000 one- ounce US American Eagle bullion coins in January, all of which were sold in just three days. Overall platinum investment demand is now projected to be 250 koz this year.
- Global platinum jewellery demand for the quarter increased 3% year-on-year, buoyed by increased Chinese retail sales during the quarter. However, global jewellery demand for 2017 is forecast to slip 1% from 2016, with anticipated declines in China and Japan outweighing gains in India and other regions.
- The platinum market is expected to be broadly balanced over the year, with a deficit of 65 koz in 2017 predicted. Above Ground Stocks are expected to end the year at 1,885 koz, a 3% fall on 2016, but more than 54% down from 2012.

Published: 17 February 2017
- GoldSilver Central today announced GSC Savings Accumulation Program (“GSAP”) for physical Gold, Silver and Platinum in Singapore, which taps into the power of the dollar-cost averaging. This development enables investors to diversify into precious metals from as little as SGD 100 per month in regular instalments to their account with GoldSilver Central. With the automatic dollar-cost averaging system, investors can now reduce their risk when participating in the volatile Precious Metals market. For enhanced convenience, investors can have recurring monthly transfers via Fast and Secured Transfers (FAST), cheque or Standing Instructions via GIRO to their GSAP accounts. This program, also commonly known as the “Gold Accumulation Plan” worldwide, existed in Japan since the 1980s and most recently, was made available in China by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC).
- “In line with our vision to make Precious Metals accessible for investors, and keeping in mind the busy schedules of many investors, GSC Savings Accumulation Program is an automatic and easy way of investing in Precious Metals without the worry of timing the markets. Based on data provided by World Gold Council, two-thirds of global gold demand in 2015 was from Asia. Hence, we believe with GSAP, more Asian retail investors will include Precious Metals in their investment portfolio and this program will be a success like how it has been in China and Japan.” said Brian Lan, Managing Director of GoldSilver Central.
- While there are many ways to start investing in precious metals in Singapore, GSAP caters for all retail investors who have the goal of accumulating physical precious metals on a daily basis for a flexible period of time. Investors have the choice to take physical delivery of their metal holdings upon reaching their desired troy ounces or grams. A wide range of physical Gold, Silver or Platinum bullion is available for investors to select and take home from GoldSilver Central. Automatically, account owners will purchase more grams of their desired physical precious metals when prices are lower, and fewer grams when prices are higher. Prices used by the savings accumulation program is based on the GSC 10AM Reference Price which is transparent and readily available to investors.
- GSC Savings Accumulation Program is designed with investors’ interest at heart. This explains the wide range of demographics that this program caters to such as young parents planning for their children’s education and future, young couples planning to save up for betrothal jewelry for their marriage or for seniors planning their retirement.
- “Dollar averaging on daily basis via Precious Metals Accumulation Program is always the most efficient and effective way for retail investors to gain access to physical precious metals. I am happy that GSC is offering this to investors and I am sure it will soon become the most sought after retail precious metals saving products in Singapore and the region judging from my experience in Japan and China” said Albert Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Bullion Market Association and Advisor for the World Gold Council and Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- Based on a recent report released by IE Singapore on Singapore’s position as a Global Precious Metals Trade Hub, Singapore is optimally located and positioned to receive and nurture the growing demand of Precious Metals Investment in Asia. The introduction of GSC Savings Accumulation Program will further strengthen ongoing initiatives by SBMA for the development of a Precious Metals Hub in Singapore.

Produced from 999.5 pure platinum, the coin marks Austrian Mint’s first platinum offering in its 800-year history and features the award-winning design by Austrian Mint head designer Thomas Pesendorfer. Austrian Mint’s Vienna Philharmonic coin is one of the world’s most popular bullion coins. This platinum coin will initially be available in 1 ounce denominations.
- In response to these partnerships, Gina Lim, Group Director, Trade Services & Policy, from International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore), said, “Since the lifting of GST on investment grade precious metals in 2012, we have witnessed the entry of many players into Singapore’s bullion market, including traders, storage providers and a world class refinery, Metalor. The SBMA has also grown its membership base as a result. IE Singapore is delighted to support GoldSilver Central’s efforts in promoting precious metals from Singapore and introducing technological innovations for merchants and consumers to easily gain exposure to these instruments.”
ONGOING PROGRAMS AND PIPELINE INTIATIVES
- GoldSilver Central constantly works on delivering valuable programs such as today’s panel discussion, which featured prominent industry leaders sharing their insights to empower investors. A new GoldSilver Central online trading platform is also slated for launch in June 2016. This platform allows trading of physical precious metals including platinum, at real-time spot prices. A preview of its powerful features will be displayed at GoldSilver Central public tradeshow on 2 April 2016 at Marina Bay Convention Centre.
- “GoldSilver Central has grown extensively in less than 5 years. We saw them increasing their investment products and services through development of a robust online retail platform, taking on agency for the Perth Mint Certificate Program (PCMP), and representing the Austrian Mint and TianXinYang. These are amazing achievements. This year, I am happy to see them carrying more branded investment grade products in gold, silver and platinum. This contributes as a building block in SBMA’s focus to make Singapore’s precious metals market more accessible to the public investors,” said Albert Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of SBMA.
- Investors in both the business and retail sectors can expect more initiatives from GoldSilver Central as it continues its growth as the premier one-stop solution for investments in relation to physical precious metals.
