On the facebook over recent times there's been thoughts on silver being treated as a critical metal with an imposed US Gov't floor price.
The blah blah seems to have settled on $268 an ounce floor price.
If that blah blah becomes reality, then at this week's 250th .999 Silver Proof Set for $245 with1.47 ounces could be an investment as it contains possibly $400 in precious metal.
I thought I'd cash out of most of my silver if it ever got back to $50. I missed the $116 top. Instead, I added some items I've really desired at around various melt money last few months.
Yah yah, I know "why haven't I bumped the 6 back to 10?"
Looks like I'll have a few more hours to think about it.
Plus abundant silver allows me to pick & chose at or near spot:
Much better deal than Mint marked up 250th metal. Silver dropped below $70 last week.

Why would a critical metal have a FLOOR rather than a CEILING?

At a spot price anywhere near $268, the set is going to sell for melt or a much lower premium vs. the issue price.
Financially, anyone would be better off buying any other form of silver with a much lower premium.

Yeah. People say this about the gold coins also. I don't get it. You want bullion, but bullion. You want a pretty coin, just buy it. People who buy art don't start by calculating the value of the canvas
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
@jmlanzaf I’m in complete agreement. People want to pay bullion spot prices for their coin purchases regardless of proof, rarity, or design. If you like bullion stacking then that’s what you need to do. If you are looking at a limited mintage item (or proof, enhanced, etc) then you need to be prepared to pay more.
If spot prices continue to rise then it’s going to be challenging to decide the value of many numismatic coins. I have a box of proof ASE’s that have little or no premium value over basic bullion.
Now, when it comes time to sell that’s a different story-everything is, rare, special, and one of a kind……….
P.S. my Visa just got charged for the silver proof set - can’t wait to see the special issue coins in proof silver.

My card got hit too full amount plus $20.95 overnight flight.
My Mint account on this item page says STATUS "ON AL HOLD" Any clue what that means ?
"ON AL HOLD" typically means your order is being manually reviewed. This frequently happens with U.S. Mint purchases when they check for things like duplicate orders, address verification, or potential banking issues.
I thought I'd cash out of most of my silver if it ever got back to $50. I missed the $116 top. Instead, I added some items I've really desired at around various melt money last few months.
. . . .
I trade silver among other commodities, it will be volatile for a while longer and I beleive ultimately get down close to $50, that will be the buying opportunity of a generation, as it should exceed $150 within a year to 18 months after that low washes out all the weak hands.
The price could go even higher if the new Fed uses the post WW2 playbook and lets inflation run a little high to devalue the massive debt, then who knows the upper limit. But it is a critical metal that is in short supply already. I am also actively positioning in copper, which will double its all time high within a year due to the massive AI buildout. The AI players have seen their best days for a while, but the data centers need huge amounts of copper to make it all work. Good luck.

Was that the delayed report from last week, or have they posted this week's report and that number is from that one? There may be hope yet that they stick to posted limits on this set.

The delayed report showed about 13,800 sold thru May 31.
Guess that’s the advance 5% premium sales (about 10% of the initial 151k mintage)

Unless they do the "back-order" thing with this set, it looks like they'll ship less than what I originally thought. There may be some hope for this set to hold a little value after all.
I wonder if they will manufacture & package items up to the stated ats today even if it takes 3 years or less to sell items. They've done well with selling 2023 Morgan & Peace silver now as opposed to 3 years ago.

They're still selling 2021 sets—nobody wants fewer coins for the same bonkers prices!

Yesterday's ATS was 86,543. Same this morning, but then in the last hour it went to
"inStockDate": "Wed Nov 25 2026",
"ats": 107627,
So it looks like the Mint will take the final 21,000 orders of the day and ship to you in time for your Thanksgiving meal.
With the reported sales of 153,304 in the report for last week, this ATS would be 260,931. Slightly over the posted limits again,
Again, I would expect adjustment like happened last week.
Likely. Where do you think the adjustment would come from? The cancelled subs, maybe? Maybe just a "woops! we fouled up?"
Probably canceled subs. I've been canceling things all year. Lol. I subscribed to be in the queue depending on mintages and type (enh unc, etc) but then cancel if I don't want them.

it's already $2500 for 10, how many people really want to spend $5000 or more on silver proofs, by ordering 10+ more ??
Fully agree, with the added issue of "who wants to spend $2500 in November" when they'll hit your card right in the middle of Christmas buying season without any advance warning when filling back orders.

I wouldn't think so. This is not hot. Were there any buy offers out there?
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
My two shipped. At one point I had 9 reserved, but when the production increased I decided that two was plenty. All of the speculation over the last several months fizzled out when it became apparent that the collector/flipper community was driving their own demand.
I am excited to see the semiQ designs in proof silver. Dime and half should be hot stuff. I’ll blow my money elsewhere.

I was really just kidding around there. I certainly don't expect ANY product this year on back order to become hot later (save maybe the Enhanced Gold Eagle) I do not think any buy offers materialized. Secondary market may make a few $20's if and when people get tired of waiting on a back order to Turkey Day. I noticed that the Mint was wise (?) to keep the back order note in the area where your order is in the cart and NOT on the product page itself. Many people (myself included) breeze right by that on a hot drop day so we don't get that dreaded "not available, please remove from your cart" note.

Never seen an ON AL HOLD, but I did move the desired quantity a bit over last few days.
Happy these goodies are on a usual path this morning & excited get the new designs in hand !
85,505 is the new ATS this morning.
And is still 85,505 this evening.

What a deal for what is right now $100 spot value silver.
How about some kind of value added bonus?
