What does this tell you? Starting to run into delivery delays and higher premiums (does this remind anyone of 2008?)
Smart buyers should pounce on silver (and be quick about it) when our own members (you know who they are, folks) offer their occasional great deals
and... should anyone need further motivation
Sound advice Ray. Last night I picked up some 10 oz silver RCM bars from Provident @ $169.65 each--love that reeded edge...and her edges as well

always.....the trend in the last month or so has been, "new" sellers, individuals throwing in the towel on quality rolls of 90's, ranging from 19 times to 43 times face....roger hsturn is still selling his "GEM/BU" (AU's) of 1940 era Walkings, but instead of getting 55-65 times, they're trading around 45 times face.....their is even this one cat who bought some dead bankers mega stack of OBW rain bowed ender Morgan's, and he's dribbling them out and getting $2k plus a roll....and the buyers don't seem like noobies, coz they slapped a private ID on the bidders...plus the guy has maintained a 100% positive rating, which of course means he's not a sceez, and the rolls are what he says they are.
BU Franklins are coming off a bit in the 60's era, trading low 20 times face....BU Wash's in the 1945, 46, time frame etc are getting high dollar......45 times face.
as far as the ASE's, I see a lot of individuals, offering their one or two rolls, which are being bot by bidders who have 7 to 30 transactions, obviously new guys who finally waking up, but I sure would be nervous about buying rolls from individuals on Ebay, you might that bad boy and smell soy sauce and chop suey.
there is one professional large seller that still has rolls of the new maples, the 14's and 15's, the premium is just a titch higher higher, but so what...I'd be buying a few, but my stack is good, plus I got wanged good this month, I had to put the right rear axle on my tractor that sheared, pay the tax to the squalling commies at the state house, and make a mega cord buy on firewood, so I could let my woods relax.....
that's your market report from the Great White North, and with that, lets go out with one of my favorite songs:

I just guess I'm confused.
amen...in a bull market, and YES, it IS a bull market, because these criminal enterprises can commie suppress the phony paper market, while the retail physical markets skyrocketing demand shows you, its a bull market, and in a bull market, you just hit the offers, slash and burn, don't pinch pennies, don't wait, don't think, BUY....oh but wait! aint the shelves bare? bid 21 a toz in the physical, and the guys that are weary will unload on you.
Pulled the trigger about 10 hours ago myself, making sure to lock in before US markets opened. Not doing 90% though as I prefer semi-numismatic plays that cost the same as a silver eagle. Will be keeping an eye on APMEX's inventory and buying again either when they are nearly out of what I want, or when the spot price drops another buck or two.
Silver: the Rodney Dangerfield of precious metals.
If it's printed on a piece of paper it's worth the paper it's printed on. If it's a digital asset it's worth the electrons in cyberspace.

Because it's fun timing the slam-downs. When the spot price gets slammed, the premiums do not rise at the exact same time, especially on Sunday nights when the majority of these slam downs occur. My next purchase will be a few hundred 2015 silver Maples... I love those pretty radial lines!
Apmex has been out of Merc dimes for about 2 weeks now. I was buying bags those 20 years ago when no one cared about them... I still have all of them too. Funny.
Been watching Apmex last few days also. Wasn't sure what to think. Wondering if they are holding back. I imagine they can sell most silver quickly at right price. Premiums are certainly strong and seems silver is in strong hands. I noticed most shops I visit are not making adjustments to old prices even with lower spot.

not sure what you're looking at? They aren't offering any type of half dollars, not even 40%. They don't have mercs at all, they don't have rosies except for BU rolls priced at 17.8X
they don't even have war nicks... all they are offering is quarters, at the price point you mentioned.
I generally like APMEX and can herald my successes with them on e-Bay, but their withholding of US 90% as well as US 40% and warnix is clearly intentional.
Plenty of cull Morgan and Peace dollars, though. Give me a break.
