Not in the UK unless it remains vaulted unfortunately.
Another problem with Pt is the margin which I don't fully understand but it's down to supply and demand.
When Pt is relatively cheap there is very little around to purchase.
Considering that Pt historically was more precious than gold ( and higher priced ) you would expect margins to be similar to gold, or perhaps a little bit more, but not as high as they tend to be. Having said that people will still purchase Pt with its high margin and VAT included ( me being one ) and you would only loose out big time selling to the trade.

You can buy on the second hand margin scheme from dealers, same as silver. Won't be VAT-free but certainly lower premiums than new.

I agree that is the only way to go with platinum. Even then, only if you think the price will significantly rise. I don’t see it ever getting back to the old highs.
