When do you think SILVER will go above $50 per once ?

I dropped in on eBay BIN listings this afternoon for the first time in ages. Saw at least one listing for a Peace dollar at $29.95 + $4.50 S&H. That adds up to just a little less than current melt. Needless to say, it sold quickly (I wasn't the buyer).

Same seller has a set of 20 Peace dollars for $677, plus the same shipping and handling. Again, slightly below Friday evening's closing melt price. That lot's still available, an hour or two after it was listed.

I'm not especially looking to buy more at these prices. I'm also not looking to sell at these prices minus 15%, or whatever the eBay vig is these days.

That darn s/h + sales tax for most is a drag. Brick and mortar dealers are paying 20% behind ‘spot’ for 90% silver. More sellers than buyers is the way several dealers described it. Smelters are swamped right now, thank you John Q Public. All short term situations
But the rest of the world doesn’t have the amount of silver scrap as the US, a rich nation. And if the overall worldwide silver deficit goes another couple years, hang on tight. $100 silver

 

Well, the current run-up on silver is totally negating the numismatic value of silver coins of all denoms.

Unless a specific coin has extra added attractions like an attribute, great condition rarity or a key date, melt values will trump every time short term. A Mercury dime worth $2.42 FMV was eclipsed by melt value of $3.19 just 4 days ago.

What is going to be extremely interesting is at $50 or $100 values, how long will it take for numismatic value to increase and stabilize to fair market values once the melt levels reach these future high levels…Spark

 

At the moment, they see re up again on the overseas exchanges.

 

UPDATE: Silver just hit $47/oz….
I posted this on the Bullion Investing Forum…………Spark

 

I still feel good about silver hitting $50 before the end of October.

 

$49.45 is the all time high currently trading at $48.06 up 3.21% just amazing margins just bought 50OZ so feeling real good

 

From Investing News Network/12 September 2025…

”Silver all-time high was $49.95 which level it reached on 17 Jan. 1980”.

This means you can feel even gooder…Spark

 

$50 in 1980 is about $125 now. And we weren’t in a worldwide deficit then.

 

@mpcusa …and all members following this thread…

Apparently…there is no consensus on the actual all-time high value of silver. It comes down to who you want to believe.

AI responses give conflicting high values.
Historical charts give conflicting high values.
Bullion dealers give conflicting high values.
PM Investment companies give conflicting high values.

My research has seen $49.45 most frequently (props to mpcusa) but also $49.95, $50.35 and $50.36 with conflicting dates as to when that actually happened.

I’m very keen on the current silver rise finally breaking the $50 barrier and going beyond. Then we can go back to disparaging (and ignoring) all the historically bad data that permeates the world wide web…Spark

 

Here’s my research, have always favored GOLD over SILVER so never paid to much attention to SILVER prices heres a little research so it seems about right.

 

To Quote Mel Fisher

Today Is The Day

As the saying goes...Quite possibly ONE DAY you will be correct

 

This is very important for us to keep in mind, but the 1980 run up was a direct market manipulation, whereas the rise from ~2008-2011 was more a general market phenomenon.

$50 in 2011 is about $72 today, so does this mean silver has more to go?

 

Way more upside. $100 a year from now.
Until the Fed says their done with interest rate cuts ,go long
Then get out
And a little excerpt from Sept Fed minutes.
Projection materials released at the meeting exemplified the close split among the 19 officials who take part at FOMC meetings, 12 of whom vote.

While the full Federal Open Market Committee voted 11-1 to lower its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point, participants had varying views on how aggressive they should be through the rest of 2025 and the next several years. The reduction took the federal funds rate down to a target range of 4%-4.25%.

Ultimately, a slight 10-9 majority favored the equivalent of quarter-point cuts at each of the two remaining meetings this year. Projection materials indicated the likelihood of one more cut in both 2026 and 2027 before the funds rate settles in a long-term range around 3%.

 

Looking like today might be that day...

 

Well now I didn't think to check KITCO numbers...

 

It’s over $50 as I today is the day.

 

That's... quite a chart. Stalled for a few minutes at $50, then punched straight past $51. Wonder if $50 is now a floor...
