I see where some big stores are not allowing the return of toilet paper and Lysol. That currency is not universal. More of a stop gap measure. Also states are Trying to close gun shops and background checks are way up which relates to new gun purchases.

Which seems rather ill-timed. I've talked to the owners of gun stores nearby and they're all in agreement that for one, it's being taken too far and two, they usually get an influx of business around this time towards the beginning of spring black bear season up here. So even despite the huge profits made by gun stores they themselves agree people have gone too far with prepping for the virus. Every store I know of near by is sold out of 9mm, .223, you name it.

Good news is silver spot prices are rising and that means the dealers will suddenly have stock again.

On tv they are talking lately about people asking for physical gold and not getting it. I bought an ounce last week and one this week as well as I bought some shares of PHYS in Canadian dollars. The place I deal with is sold out of 1 ounce coins of Canada and Beast coins they have some 1/4 ounce and a supply of pandas of different years. Not sure but I expect something to happen soon with physical ,don't know if I want to be right or not.

I think people are liquidating assets to cover their expenses so will be selling PM's as they are easy to convert into money. I think this will be a temporary situation till things get moving again then I am expecting the prices to rebound heavily in an upwards trend as currencies lose value.

On the other hand, looking at semi collectable pre 1933 US over the past two weeks, some of the big dealers have dropped their usual ebay listings. On their sites, new semi collectable coins are not appearing in the way you'd expect if there was large scale liquidation going on. Instead, semi collectable coins have all disappeared, leaving a motly assortment of cleaned and common date coins. What they have is being sold at higher-than-usual premiums too. Common $10 and $20 libs are selling at 20% over spot.
