What is silver ‘telling’ us? Well, we’re experiencing something highly unusual in my long career of buying and tracking silver.
So-called ‘junk silver’ which is pre-1965 US coinage (dimes, quarters and half dollars) used to trade at or often below the spot price of silver.
If silver was $10 and ounce, you could buy silver for the equivalent of $9.80.
Today? It’s a jaw dropping 100% over spot on Ebay and about 60% – 80% over spot elsewhere. I believe this tells us something important about shifting psychology about the dollar itself and people’s assessment of the need for junk silver as an alternative money system in the future.
