A near-instantaneous drop of over a dollar...

Glitch, shenanigans, or something else?

Haven't we seen this before out of Kitco? Nickel price went nuts once. Copper mining stocks are up as of noon...has to be glitch.

Here is a question.

It appears that Kitco is wrong on copper today (I see nothing else that supports a 30% plus drop today).

If coin stores use Kitco for pricing PM ( think this is industry standard??), I wonder how often PM transactions have been executed with such large errors in pricing?
