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.

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.

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

This dealer was beyond excellent in all respects! No low-ball games, no fooling around. These people are honest, and the transaction was handled smoothly with complete transparency. I will definitely recommend Nevada Coin & Jewelry to everybody I know!

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!!!!

Great family run store. I’m well taken care of every time I show up at this location. Thank you Nick.

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

Brenda

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.

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!

Ramon

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

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Suzanne P.

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!

B.J.

This place is definitely recommended!!! A.J. and David are amazing…very helpful and nice people at that! I would totally consider going to this place.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

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!

Marie G.

Professional, friendly staff. Knowledgeable and fair. An interesting experience and would definitely visit again.
