Looks like silver may be taking the lead in overnight trading, jumping up to $99 while gold is still at $4960.

I only wish that the price crash comes soon.
In the mean time,
high silver prices have completely stuffed up my collecting of nice World silver coins at reasonable prices.

Over a period of about 40 years, I have built a nice collection of better condition World silver coins. but
over the last 2 years or so, that part of my collection has stagnated, dominated by their currently high ASW value, compared to their honest numismatic value.

I vote silver today at $100! I'll probably sell at that point for a quick flip.
It will be curious to see if once it reaches $100 it will crash hard or maintain steady. I suppose many might be waiting for that signal.
What an interesting time we are witnessing!

Gold is near $5k, you say? Silver saying, "Hold my beer..."

The nice thing about a silver coin is that it will ALWAYS be worth the amount of silver it contains.

Looks like silver won the race after all (according to APMEX, at least):

How easy/hard is selling your silver in Italy? Difficult to sell 90/92.5 here in the States right now...

Selling physical at spot is impossible and even close to spot is extremely hard.
Some weeks ago I sold some bullion and got close to 30% below spot. It's murder!

In my previous comment I was talking about financial derivatives.
..and my order just closed, bought Monday and sold few minutes ago. Gonna eat an extra large pizza tonight for free
Well since I sold it will probably open at $150 on Monday! You are welcome

GSR down in the 49:1 range now. Soon it will be time to swap silver for gold.

I will have to keep my silver, since it is still part of my collection.
