Interesting that both sales and prices peaked in 2011

    image Me too...and it looks as if this year (when it is finally over) may equal or possibly could surpass last year. Cheers, RickO

    Fast?
    I thought 1997 flew by fast!

    If sales peaked in 2011 and extrapolating for 2013, I assume that sales will be cut off in 2013 before the end of the year.

    Baley, can you do a monthly silver spot price and overlay the monthly ASE sales? Maybe its not possible .


    It seems like sales lag price in an inverse pattern. That may not be the proper term image.

    Of course 2013 is not over yet; of course someone will ttt the thread in January.

    It would make sense for final 2013 sales of ASEs (in terms of units, not necessarily dollar value) to the public to end up higher than 2012 and maybe even higher than 2011 (due to falling-knife catchers image )

    Since eagle bullion coin production to meet demand is dictated by law the only way we will see sales cut off is a silver shortage at the mint. Not that there's anything wrong with that. image

    It's always neat when higher prices increase demand. image

    Baley, thank you for recognizing it as my "opinion."

    You're quite welcome! And thanks for noting that it's my "opinion" that the spot you've marked "YOU ARE HERE" probably corresponds to 4th quarter 2008/1st quarter 2009, and we're now (3Q2013) approximately at "Fear", or possibly somewhere between fear and capitulation.

    Time will tell (as it always does)

    edit to add: I actually hope that I'm wrong and that you're right about the future price of silver, since I own many ounces. However, I would not be too surprised to be able to buy ASEs for less than $15 apiece (including premium) someday, maybe even by the end of the year image I would be VERY surprised to be able to sell them for more than $50 each before 2020. Hoping for a surprise! cheers image
