Is Silver Ready To Hit $50 - 1/29/2026: Will It Hit $130? - Previous Milestones In First Post

I used to watch his stuff, but then a few people noticed different fake AI versions and channels started popping up for the Silver Asian Guy or whatever he's called. Now I don't know what to believe So I stopped watching him altogether. YouTube is being ruined by really convincing AI

It depends on what's around you. But I know not everybody is fortunate to have an honest Local Coin Shop nearby like I do. Start by looking up the Coin Shops that are near you, read their reviews on google or see if they have a website or social media page. A lot of times it will show what they're buying..
I'm pretty sure the small shops will answer your call and give you a number over the phone. I have a personal relationship with my LCS, I've been going there for years and during normal times they buy for a couple bucks back of spot. The problem now, with all the volatility, is those back of spot numbers are as much as $10 back. So it makes no sense to sell. Another good place for me was coin shows.

i viewed only a few when they began to really proliferate. I caught on pretty quickly how fake they were and how to easily spot the AI fakes. (if it's AI, it is fake)

like you, Harry, I stopped watching altogether. there is only a certain amount of stuff i'll watch on you tube anymore. I spotted a fake 'animals reunited with owners' video that angered me. I won't carry on about it, but I agree, you tube is now flooded with AI garbage. the wave of political correctness and censorship was bad enough, now they're messing with people's heads by allowing total garbage videos to be posted, just disseminating lies. I presume comex did not collapse today.

at some point, probably soon, silver will become oversold again and resume skyward. it was nice to see it 'up' on a friday again. to be honest, watching this every day has become monotonous for me and I backed off watching this past week. monotonous and aggravating, really. I'm in for the long haul and firmly believe the repricing of our metals is nowhere near a top. lots farther to go. I don't really need to watch every day, but I do like reading everyone's comments.




just an opinion here. we don't have coin shops in the keys. the nearest is miami. however, good things can be found in pawn shops. but as far as local coin shops go, if it were me i'd be finding out which local coin shops seem to have the best reputations and start with those. yeah, walk in. go to as many as you can. find some friendly people to talk to and build a relationship. carpe diem. if you don't get good feedback or a decent vibe, it's easy enough to leave.

and have fun!

Yeah, I heard refiners/wholesalers currently don't accept 90% or are only offering way below melt. Their buying gold offers aren't as bad. Unusual times now for silver/gold.

Junk silver is usually bought and sold based on its melt value. As you said, the industry standard is that melt value for $1 FV equals silver spot price x .715. So, $77.69*.715=$55.55. $55.55-$38.10=$17.45. So, JM Bullion was paying melt-$17.45 (or 68.59% of melt value).

You can compare to spot instead of melt value if you want by doing the calculation in reverse, the way you did it. $38.10/715=$53.29 which would be spot-$24.40 (or 68.59% of spot).

Most dealers prefer to use spot when speaking about pure silver or gold and melt for alloyed (and fractional) silver and gold but you can, of course, use either way as you get the same 68.59% either way. Use whichever you prefer

BTW, JM Bullion is at $38.14 per $1 FV this morning. Seems a bit unusual for their price to change with the metals markets currently closed

Boring night - metals pretty steady.

$79.72. What will silver do?
