Colombia, 1907

The official Colombian platina export was 290.6 Kgs; 58% went to the USA.

1907: 1 Troy Ounce Pt (Colombian ore, Spot, Est. 80%) = USD$ 18.80
1907: 1 Troy Oz. Pt (Colombian ore, intrinsic) = USD$ 23.50

Citation: The Jewelers' Circular, Vol. 81, Issue 2 p.89 (9/3/1920)





Platinum was estimated to be 9.84% of the Cartagena Gold export, there were perhaps ~907.4 Kgs (29,175 Ozt) Platinum exported from Colombia in 1907.

Until around 1907 nearly all Colombian platina was exported without duty.

Working the placers in 1901, Alexandre Grine "Sur Terre et Sur Mer" (p.132-3) reported the same daily wage (руб 1.20) also that miners were paid руб 3.50 per Zolotnik for platina and руб 5./Zolotnik for Gold ore.  Anecdotally, he had heard of contraband prices руб 6.-7./Zolotnik (for Gold? so, ~руб 4.25 - 4.75 руб/Zolotnik for platina)

Although the earlier date is unknown, a low USD$ retail price strongly implies the late 1860s (See Here.) From 1867-1907, the retail price of Platinum rose +795%.

In the same 40 years, the market price of US Silver had fallen -50.89% and British Silver fell -50.15%. During this period, the Market Price for US Gold also fell -25.09% (the British Market Price was unchanged.)

Also, the US Consumer Price Index had fallen -36.50% (in the four worst & consecutive decades of US deflation) so Platinum proved a superior long term deflationary hedge.
