Here's a little data for you:

1. Ammonium Hexachloro Platinate (IV) (NH4)2PtCl6 44 % Pt @ 443.89 g/M
2. Ammonium Hexachloro Palladate (IV) (NH4)2PdCl6 30 % Pd @ 355.20 g/M
3. Ammonium Tetrachloro Palladate (II) (NH4)2PdCl4 37.4 % Pd @ 284.4 g/M
4. Ammonium Hexachloro Rhodate Hydrate (NH4)3RhCl6.XH2O 27.8 % Rh(>22%) @ 369.74 g/M

It should be noted that all of those values are nominal and almost always tend to be less metal than the theoretical.

if I understand the link from lasersteve correctly, converting
The salts to sponge yields over 99% purity. Which should be
Easier to sell because you know what your content is.
Thanks guys,
