Nope smaller palladium is few and far between.

When everyone is banging on about a massive silver shortage as if it's rare and unobtainable, take a look at palladium I say. It could be months, or maybe only once or twice in the whole year you actually see any bullion palladium for sale, especially the smaller stuff. This wasn't the case 15 years ago, palladium was relatively plentiful.

Can only find Oz stuff and bigger and Im not willing to buy that much

Same here, I was looking for it too!

As for an earlier comment someone made about it not being easy to shift. When I put the small bit I had on eBay two years ago, it flew off the shelf and went for about £20-£30 over spot - and that was with no reserve and a 99p start. I let the market find itself.

We were very happy to dump all our stock of palladium bars and coins about March last year, although we just missed the peak price. 

We still continue to be happy to stay out of it while while prices are so high, especially when platinum is so cheap.

...unless you like buying high and selling cheap!

If we do get any secondary market ones in stock, we will try to get them back out of the door as soon as possible.

Actually, I am not quite right, a colleague has just informed me that we do have about 30 ounces of palladium in stock, which is next to nothing. ☺️

Sorry, but the smallest we had even last year was 0.5 ounce, then mainly one ounce, with not one, but two, x 500 grams each.

We would always prefer coins rather than bars.

I know it's not what you are looking for, but these are interesting: https://www.chards.co.uk/1968-tonga-palladium-3-coin-set-counter-stamped/9520  1968 Tonga Palladium 3 Coin Set - Coronation Counter Stamped

I think the 1967 issue constituted the world's first palladium coins, and remember handling both sets at the time. Can't remember the prices though, although we might have some old copies of Coin Monthly magazine lying around, with our prices in.

We just re-photographed a 1967 Tonga palladium set:

Hau did we manage that?

...and the edge inscriptions:

Historically the first palladium coinage.
