Lowest Price Per Ounce of Any Silver Product!



When the US Mint abandoned silver coinage, they didn't do it all at once. The Kennedy half dollars, or 50 cent pieces, were minted using 40% silver from 1965 - 1970. Meanwhile, dimes and quarters which had been 90% silver otherwise referred to as a junk silver coin, were produced as clad coins with zero silver content starting in 1965.

The Kennedy half dollar silver coins featuring John F. Kennedy was actually first issued in 1964, at 90% purity. Production began just prior to the decision to eliminate the silver standard in United States Mint coins. These circulating coins were designed to honor Kennedy who was assassinated in November 1963. Congress authorized the new design within a month of Kennedy's death and the Mint began production in January 1964.

Scruffy Gold Maple Leafs - Priced Close to Melt Value



The next bull market in Gold will drive the price much higher. If investors lose confidence in the US dollar because it is underpinned by an insolvent US government and a central bank that respects no limits, the price will explode. When that scenario arrives, it is the number of gold ounces that investors hold that will matter most. Smart investors buy their gold as close to melt value as possible and understand the size of their stack matters more than whether everything in it is in beautiful condition.

All of the Economic Recovery Models Will Be Wrong Too



“All of the projection models were wrong. All of them,” admitted New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in an interview last week with MSNBC.

Governor Cuomo had been issuing frantic demands for tens of thousands of ventilators... that turned out not to be needed as the rate of new hospitalizations for COVID-19 infections in New York plunged with surprising speed.

Governor Cuomo had warned America that New York City was the canary in the coal mine, that other cities would soon suffer similar death rates.

Federal Reserve Notes Are Now “Backed” by Junk Bonds



Oil prices whipsawed lower Thursday on concerns about expected oil production cuts from Russia and Saudi Arabia. But the general trend for most other assets, including metals and equities, was up – way up.

Stocks finished out the week with the major averages posting their biggest weekly gains in decades in the space of just four trading days. Investors went on a buying spree based on hopes that we will soon see a definitive peak in coronavirus cases and begin the process of restarting the economy.

Guide to Gold-Backed Cryptocurrency



When you think of cryptocurrency, you most likely think of the digital currency you trade via online platforms. Gold-backed cryptocurrency is similar in that you can buy and sell it digitally, but there’s more to it.

While the value of most crypto correlates to its popularity and trade volume, gold-backed cryptocurrency has physical value as well. Instead of digital value alone, this currency’s value connects with that of gold on the market. This tangible value sets these currencies apart from regular cryptocurrencies because they have real value.

Now You Can Quickly and Easily Borrow Against Your Gold & Silver



If you own at least $35,000 worth of precious metals and store them in the Class 3 vaulting facility operated by Money Metals Depository in Eagle, Idaho, you may now apply for a loan of $25,000 or more (not available in all 50 states) at honest rates comparable to those offered by legitimate lenders – not the pawn-shop rates of up to 3% per month that gold and silver owners have been forced to pay in the past. Yikes! The main conditions are that your loan proceeds should be used for business or investment purposes (rather than for personal, family, or household purposes) but should not be immediately used to purchase additional precious metals.

All Is Not Well in the Paper #Gold Markets



London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) officials have loudly proclaimed there are plenty of gold bars in LBMA and COMEX vaults to meet surging demand from buyers.

Unfortunately for them, confidence is particularly fragile these days and cracks are starting to appear.

Which is why anxious officials there issued not one, but two memos last week in an attempt to reassure traders.

It’s interesting the LBMA, along with the COMEX, felt a need to put out back to back statements. If inventories are plentiful, both exchanges should be busy delivering gold, on time and without delay. The best way to build confidence is simply to meet buyers’ expectations.

Crisis Exposes Devastating Result of Ongoing Fed Policy: Americans Have No Savings



Two weeks ago, during a March 17 address to the nation in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, President Donald Trump asked that Americans work from home, postpone unnecessary travel, and limit social gatherings to no more than 10 people.

And last week, on March 27, Trump signed a stimulus package of over $2 trillion dollars to provide relief to an economy on the precipice of collapse.

The aid package includes handouts and loans to individuals, small businesses, and other distressed industries.

Despite Trump’s “having created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country,” when the markets tanked, massive and immediate government intervention was the only thing left to forestall a total collapse.

Physical Demand Wreaks Havoc on Futures Exchanges



Money Metals’ major competitors appear to be facing big challenges getting inventory and fulfilling orders – with the vast majority of their products either unavailable or significantly delayed. To be fair to the struggling dealers, buyers have vastly outnumbered the sellers for weeks, despite the big jump in premiums.

At Money Metals, however, we have done a better job than our peers when it comes to securing stock and fulfilling orders quickly – nor have we refused to allow smaller customers to place orders like all the others have.

Invest in Australian Perth Mint's Kangaroo Silver Coins



The kangaroo, symbolic of Australia and the Perth Mint, is the largest marsupial surviving on earth today. The animal’s distinctive style of movement, hopping on its hind legs whilst using its large, muscular tail for balance, means it is one of the only animals which is unable to move backwards easily. The kangaroo features in the Australian national emblem.

As a Perth Mint first, the 1 oz Australian Silver Kangaroo coins includes an authentication feature on the reverse - in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter ‘A’, the first letter in AUSTRALIA. The mark is only detectable under a magnifying glass and is designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited. Check out all our Australian silver coins.

Check Out the America The Beautiful Silver Coin (ATB Coin) - Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness

By on in ,

It is 50th in the popular series which will ultimately include 56 different and beautiful designs.



The wilderness area is more than 2.36 million acres - the largest of its kind to be located in the lower 48 states. "River of No Return" refers to the Salmon River. In the early days of Idaho's settlement it was possible to float a small boat downstream along the river, but not possible to navigate upstream given the fast water and numerous rapids.

The wilderness also carries the name of Frank Church - the Idaho legislator who was instrumental in its creation.

It is a wild place with some of the most gorgeous scenery in America, but getting a look means you will have to be up for the challenge. No roads or motorized vehicles are allowed. The splendors of this wilderness must be accessed on foot or by horseback.

Q & A on Precious Metals During the Coronavirus Crisis



In addition to wild swings in spot prices, Money Metals has experienced a massive surge in demand and extreme strain on supply, leading to a spike in premiums (on both bids and asks).

These are stressful times for everyone, to be sure. But precious metals investors can rest assured physical bullion has always, and will continue to, represent real value during turbulent times.

The South African gold Krugerrand has long been recognized around the world as a go-to coin for bullion investors.

By on in ,

The Iconic Krugerrand Now Available In Beautiful .999 Silver



The Krugerrand was geared specifically for investment. It was mass produced and intended to be sold near the value of its gold content. As such, it was ideal for investors concerned about defending themselves from inflation. When it launched, gold bullion was outlawed in the United States by executive decree. A few years later that order was rescinded. US investors could once again legally hold gold bullion in 1971. And they had just one choice when it came to .999 gold in a 1 oz sovereign coin - the Krugerrand. Demand for the coins soared.

Short Supply and High Gold/Silver Premiums, But There IS a Solution…



A huge spike in demand for physical precious metals has decimated available dealer inventories. The vast majority of gold and silver coins, rounds, and bars are either out of stock or come with extended shipping delays.

Premiums are spiking higher. Dealers have raised bid premiums – the amount offered above the spot metal price – dramatically along with ask premiums.

The market is still searching for equilibrium and bids dealers pay may need to go even higher to entice enough sellers to meet demand.
