And the Bullion Award Goes To…

The end of 2017 is upon us—and with that, it’s time to look back on the year. Precious metals had quite an eventful 12 months, but none more so than the overachiever—palladium. Up a jaw dropping 50% year-to-date, palladium dwarfs all other commodities. And although the stock market and bitcoin have been in the spotlight for most of 2017, gold still managed to stay in a positive trend, up a little over 9% year-to-date.

Silver and platinum’s performance haven’t been quite as strong as that of gold and palladium, but nonetheless, investors have been clamoring to get ahold of these metals while their prices are so heavily discounted. In fact, platinum took everyone by surprise this year—its prices dropping below those of palladium for the first time in 16 years!

So, without further ado, we present 2017’s bullion awards. These products have demonstrated exceptional value in their respective categories and were nominated based on overall sales, performance, and popularity.


Portfolio Staple

Gold American Eagles are the popular kid everyone wants on their side. As a consistent top-seller minted solely from gold sourced in the U.S., Eagles are a definite crowd-pleaser and a vital asset to your portfolio. This year, the U.S. Mint produced far fewer Eagles than in previous years; however, the upside is that it affects premiums to your advantage. This year, for example, has seen gold Eagles available at incredible discounts!


Investors' Choice

From beginners to seasoned investors, junk silver is an asset everyone should hold for financial emergencies. Because 2017 saw some of the lowest-ever premiums for junk silver, investors were eager to get their hands on this versatile investment. In fact, junk silver is currently available at premiums of just Spot + 4%*—some of the lowest premiums in over a decade!


Best Insurance Policy

Everyone likes somebody they can trust—that’s why it’s a no-brainer gold bars take this award. Gold bars are internationally-recognized and one of the most cost-effective ways to own gold. Because these bars do not feature any special designs, they are oftentimes available at premiums much lower than government-minted coins—and you're still getting a full troy ounce of gold!


Crushed the Competition

There’s no doubt about it—2017 was the year of palladium. In addition to palladium’s record-setting year, the U.S. Mint also released its first-ever palladium American Eagle—selling out of all 15,000 coins issued in less than a month! This was arguably the U.S. Mint's biggest bullion release since 1997, when it released the first new bullion coin in its over 200-year history—the platinum American Eagle.


The One That Got Away

Our monthly Spotlight coins were our most rapidly selling products of 2017—so much so, that many sold out within 24 hours! These numismatic finds represent the best deals on the market and include "Sleeper" Dates, hidden gems, famous U.S. hoards, and many other under-valued coins that otherwise would have been nearly impossible to find without an expert. Many of these coins are so rare, that our numismatic expert often spends several months to a year searching for the best pricing and selection for ASI readers!


Hot and Trending

Released just a few months ago, the revolutionary Perth Mint Depository Distributor Online (PMDDO) quickly became by far the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Because of its versatility, it became an instant hit with all types of investors, and it is still one of only two government-guaranteed precious metals storage programs to offer free storage for your precious metals. The other is the incredibly popular Perth Mint Certificate Program (PMCP). With premiums as low as 0.2%, minimums as low as $40, and storage as low as $0, it's never been more cost-effective to invest in precious metals.


Take Home Your Favorites

Just because they’re in-demand, doesn’t mean these products are too vogue to be seen in your portfolio. These go-getters dominated 2017 and performed well beyond other precious metals products. To show your favorite some support and to add an award-winning investment to your portfolio, please call us at 800-831-0007 or email us.
