hobbies and interests stamps and coinsHow much is the platinum in a catalytic converter worth?
Now, consider that raw platinum alone costs almost $900 per ounce. Raw palladium is even more expensive, priced at more than $1,600 an ounce. Raw rhodium takes the cake though, at a whopping $2,175 per ounce. At the very least, a small used catalytic converter will have about 4 grams of platinum in it.
Besides, what vehicles have the most valuable catalytic converters?
The next most expensive catalytic converter is a bit closer to home. The Dodge Ram 2500 comes in at $3,460.00. The Ford F250 (similar to the Dodge 2500 in terms of towing and strength) is a mere $2,804.

Likewise, how much platinum can be recovered from a catalytic converter?
There are between 3-7 grams of platinum group metals in a standard catalytic converter, but the amount varies based on manufacturer and model. Keep in mind that the minimum lot size we accept for smelting and refining is 500 catalytic converters or 1000 pounds of loose catalyst.
