    Just like clockwork, everything coming down significantly except ASEs (although they are drifting lower). Very very soon. This game is SO easy.

    LCS this morning, a well-known local dealer who handles a great deal of bullion had buy prices almost spot on with what was shown above. ASEs at $33.50 in tubes and maples at $30.

    Actually the screenshot was sent to me by a forum member here. Guess he was wondering why you call it gutter metal here yet sing a different tune on a different forum. I'm not a member of reddit nor do i read it.

    Yep the market is getting flooded with "new" silver again. Expect premiums to really start plummeting in the next month or so. For those that missed the sales boat don't worry in another decade or two there will be a new silver shortage conspiracy for you to dump your metal. Until then, stack on. lol

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 33,014 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I wouldn’t call a high buy price as having fluff.

    $6 down to $5.50 yet the sell price is the same

    Those Brits at under 3 over I'd buy if I was in the purchase position. Insane on the dollars though.

  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,212 ✭✭✭✭✭

    this just reinforces my endless call to load up on morgans over the years. Pre 1921 morgan circs they look to be paying 2x melt for right?

    I was buying any i could get under 20 bucks each my only regret was that I flipped probably half of them along the way.

    Thats just the 2021 type 2. All other ASEs have dropped as will the type 2s. Still severely overpriced but normal premiums are not far away.

    ASE were +7.25 with spot at 27.40= 34.65.

    Now are +3.90 with spot at 25.20 = 29.10.

    That buy side premium has dropped 46%. A lot of fluff has come out.

    Buyers in May who paid +10 with spot at 27.50 would now be down 22%. Ouch.

    Gotta throw the BS flag on this one. On 5/4 the OP's APMEX ASE was selling for 11.99 over spot. Today it is selling for 9.99 over spot.

    If you're gonna properly track data, you have to remain consistent on your sources of input. Consistency goes a long way in establishing credible research.

    You're OP on 5/4 showed an APMEX random single ASE at 38.62 with spot at $26.63 for a buyer's premium of 45%.
    Todays data shows an APMEX random single ASE at 35.30 (sale item) with spot at 25.31 for a buyer's premium of 39%.

    Since 5/4 spot has dropped 5% while ASE APMEX premiums have dropped 9.4%. Premiums have dropped 5.4% more than has spot price.

    So, it appears that buyer premiums for silver ASEs have dropped only slightly since your study began and only in the face of a declining spot price. It remains to be seen if a rise in spot prices will result in a rise in premiums. I suspect the resulting increase in demand would spill over to premiums as it has done in the recent past.

    You did in the first post. You provided APMEX sell data for 5/4 and I compared current APMEX sell data to it to provide the correct state of silver premiums. You can't keep jumping from sell premiums to buy premiums just to get the results you desire. It's inconsistent, but even worse it's very misleading for those you wish to take you seriously.

    No matter how you try to spin it the fact remains that premiums are dropping at both the retail and especially at the wholesale level just like we told you they would. Look for the trend to continue. RGDS!

    It's normal for premiums to drop when spot price drops. A reduction in spot reduces demand.

    As calculated above (spin? lol) ASE sell premiums have dropped only 5.4% more than has spot price. 94.6% percent of the premium drop is simply because of the drop in spot. This is a reflection of the current strength of physical silver.

    Your victory lap is a bit premature, especially when spot begins its next leg up. You've also been claiming that physical silver is a gutter metal yet its premiums over spot are far greater than the other metals. Just because you lose money on silver does not mean smarter people are doing the same.

    Actually I just reposted a one year performance chart that was posted by someone else earlier in another thread. Seemed to give a good picture of recent PM performance. Let me know in 20 years how your gold performed against the gutter metal.
