U.S. Mint Sets A Record For Sales Of American Eagle Silver Coins In January 2013!!

Yeah the ping sound of silver depends on the way it is minted. Maples don't ping well due to their thickness and the way the silver is formed into the coin. Silver with some copper in it (like 80% or 90% silver) often pings a lot better than pure silver, and thinner coins ping better than thicker ones.

Sales of American Eagle silver coins by the U.S. Mint jumped to a record this month on increased demand for an alternative to currencies as the Federal Reserve plans to print $1 Trillion dollars. Sales surged to 7.42 million ounces so far in January, the biggest monthly total since 1986. The figure compares with the 1.635 million ounces sold in December, according to mint data.

Upcoming Debt Ceiling & China Gold Demand Explodes

According to the MIIT statement, domestic demand is set to surpass 1,000 tons by the end of 2015. This vastly improves the fundamentals for gold as a long term investment and silver for some extra upside potential. Keep in mind, these are the government reported numbers that only reveal what they have declared. There have been numerous reports of gold smuggling into China that would never be found on the books so use these figures as base levels. The ultimate impact of increasing their gold demand 500 tons per year could be enormous. India's demand has recently been curbed by government actions to slow down the physical acquisition by introducing new paper backed ETFs, but that doesn't stop under the table transactions. The IMF World Gold Council recently came out with a report showing how in November, China imported 90.8 tones of gold. That was double the 47 tonnes the imported the previous month in October bringing their annual import amount to over 800 tones, double what they imported in 2011. To put this in perspective, the 800 tones of gold imported in 2012 will exceed all of the official holdings of China. Also, during 2012 the Chinese bought $39 billion of gold while they bought under $10 billion of worthless U.S. Treasuries.

Silver Bullion Rounds & Bars - Which is the Better Investment and Worth More Money?

I am 25% in silver, 25% in gold ,30% in food and water and medicine,10% in weapons and ammo and 10% in paper.Only real stuff for me. Because putting all your eggs in one basket is counterproductive; one needs a mix of precious metals, food/nutrition/water, medical, defensive and also some of what isn't real, which is paper (but as for now we need it for a portion of our planning) Walk in balance,

FOMC Review: Gold & SIlver Smackdown On QE4 Announcement

The paper silver markets are good for one thing....making short term profit. I short silver tons as the "smackdowns" (99% of the time due to market falling or dollar strengthening) are extremely easy to spot. I then take that profit from shorting and add to my stack, of course at the cheaper price :)

2013 Silver Chinese Panda - Mintage, Best Price, Where To Buy

Up close and personal: Inspecting 1 oz, 999 Fine Silver Coin, 2013 Chinese Panda.

If you're looking for a semi-numismatic play for 2013, look no further. Buying the 2013 Chinese Panda coin while silver prices remain low is a great strategy for people who are interested in these premium coins. The reason the Chinese Panda is such an amazing semi-numismatic coin is because every year a new design gets released. The moment that happens, all the coins that have previously been released instantly become more rare and collectable. To illustrate my point, please take a quick look at the APMEX page for Chinese Pandas and look back at what the previous designs are selling for. As you can see, all of the previous years have an added semi-numismatic premium which grows as the years march forward. This is the main reason why investors go absolutely NUTS over these coins, not to mention how the Chinese Mint has increased Panda production 1233% in less than two years. In 2010, annual mintage figures were a mere 600,000 only to skyrocket to 6 million in 2011. The Mint is currently projecting the 2013 mintage to match 2012 at 8 million coins annually produced. All the Mint is doing is keeping up with the absolutely exploding investor demand in China and Hong Kong at the moment for physical gold and silver.
