Who Baird & Co Are
Rhodium bars carrying a recognised bullion hallmark have always been scarce, because very few refiners bother with the metal. Baird & Co is one that does, and they are not a new name: the firm was established in London in 1967, dealing first in collectible gold coins before moving into high-volume bullion as UK restrictions eased in the early 1970s. By 1975 they were making a market in bullion, quoting both buy and sell prices to banks, stockbrokers, coin dealers and wholesale jewellers, and they became one of Britain’s leading trading houses through the precious metal bull markets of the 1970s and early 1980s.
That history is the reason a Baird bar carries weight on resale. When you sell rhodium, the buyer is assessing whether they can trust the stamp without assaying the metal themselves, and a mark from a refiner with sixty years behind it makes that a shorter conversation.
Why One Ounce
Rhodium is quoted per troy ounce, so a 1 oz bar is the cleanest unit to hold and the easiest to value at a glance. It sits between the 1/2 oz rhodium bar, which halves the entry cost, and the larger bars that lower the premium per ounce further. For most buyers making rhodium a real position rather than a curiosity, one ounce is where to start.
Bar or Sponge?
A 1 oz bar and 1 oz of rhodium sponge hold the same metal. The bar has been melted, cast, stamped, serialised and assayed, and you pay a fabrication premium for all of it. What that premium buys is verification: the next buyer can read the mark instead of taking your word for it. Sponge skips the fabrication and gives you more rhodium per dollar, with verification resting on the sealed packaging. Bars if you expect to sell; sponge if you expect to hold.
Why Rhodium Is Priced Where It Is
Rhodium is a platinum group metal recovered as a by-product of platinum and palladium mining, overwhelmingly in South Africa. Annual world production is a small fraction of gold’s, and most of it is consumed by catalytic converters and never returns to the investment market. A very small supply meeting industrial demand that destroys it is what makes rhodium both scarce and sharply volatile.

Before You Buy
Rhodium is not IRA-eligible in any form — the IRS approves only gold, silver, platinum and palladium for precious metals IRAs. Rhodium also trades in a far thinner market than gold or silver, so spreads are wider and prices move harder in both directions. Keep the bar sealed: the packaging carries the assay, and an opened bar is worth less when you come to sell it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much rhodium is in a 1 oz Baird & Co rhodium bar?
One troy ounce, 31.10 grams, at .999 fineness.
Who is Baird & Co?
A London bullion refiner and trading house established in 1967, and one of the few refiners in the world that produces rhodium bars.
What is stamped on the bar?
The Baird & Co mark and name, the weight, the fineness, and a serial number unique to that bar.
Is a rhodium bar better than rhodium sponge?
Neither holds better metal — both are .999 rhodium. A bar is easier for a buyer to verify; sponge gives you more metal for the same money.
Can I hold a rhodium bar in an IRA?
No. The IRS approves only gold, silver, platinum and palladium for precious metals IRAs.
How easy is it to sell a 1 oz rhodium bar?
Easier than most rhodium, because one ounce is the quoted unit and the Baird mark is recognised. Expect a wider spread than gold or silver regardless — the rhodium market is small. We buy back directly.
