What do we pay for a Platinum Noble?
Based on the platinum rate of this moment, €46.20 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine platinum | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €1,436.91 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure platinum it contains.
This coin is 999.5‰ pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Questions about selling Platinum Noble
Was the Noble really the first platinum bullion coin?
Yes. The Isle of Man issued it in 1983, ahead of the Platinum Koala in 1988, the Platinum Maple Leaf that same year and the American Eagle in 1997. That makes it the coin that opened the platinum bullion market.
How much platinum does a Noble contain?
The one-ounce coin holds 31.1035 grams of platinum at 999.5 fine. We settle on that fine weight against the platinum rate of the moment, so the copper-free alloy means almost the entire weight of the coin counts towards your payout.
Does its history make it worth more?
It can. Being the first of its kind gives the Noble a following among collectors, and the earliest years were struck in modest numbers. We assess the collector’s value alongside the platinum value and pay you whichever of the two is higher.
How do you verify a coin this old?
The same way as any other: weight on a calibrated scale, diameter and thickness with callipers, and fineness by X-ray analysis. Those four measurements together are conclusive, the check is non-destructive, and we explain what we are doing as we go.
