A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value.

Chemically, the precious metals tend to be less reactive than most elements (see noble metal).

They are usually ductile and have a high lustre.

Historically, precious metals were important as currency but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities.

Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code.

Platinum is a chemical element with symbol Pt and atomic number 78.

It is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, gray-white transition metal.

Its name is derived from the Spanish term platina, translated into "little silver".

Silver is a metallic element with symbol Ag and atomic number 47.

The symbol Ag stems from Latin, derived from the Greek ὰργὀς (literally "shiny" or "white"), and ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European language root reconstructed as *h2erǵ-, "grey" or "shining".

A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal.

The metal is found in the Earth's crust in the pure, free elemental form ("native silver"), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.

Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining.

Silver is more abundant than gold, but it is much less abundant as a native metal.

Its purity is typically measured on a per mille basis; a 94%-pure alloy is described as "0.940 fine".

Wholesaling, jobbing, or distributing is the sale of goods or merchandise to retailers; to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users; or to other wholesalers and related subordinated services.

In general, it is the sale of goods to anyone other than a standard consumer.
