Costco is reportedly selling new precious metal

Costco has reportedly started selling a new precious metal.

The warehouse retailer's website lists a 1-ounce PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Veriscan platinum bar as a product, Fortune reported Wednesday.

It is reportedly the newest precious metal that Costco has offered, following gold bars and silver coins.

Costco members have historically rushed to get their hands on the retailer's gold and silver bars.

In September last year, then-Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti told analysts and investors that the retailer's gold bars disappeared “typically within a few hours” of being posted on Costco's website.
