I am finally done with the Mint's bloated prices. My last years will be focused on my classic collections.
Demand for physical silver is nuts right now. Back in July 2020 I was buying 2 oz rounds for $55 which was really steep at the time but they were nice so I bought a few. Today they want $98 to $101 for the same thing. I was looking at Apmex bars today. 10 oz. Price was $336 for one. Went back an hour later and they wanted $346. The market is closed today. Needs to be a separate price index for silver as spot price at 26.80 right now is meaningless for actual physical sales. Total disconnect. Hopefully the mint doesn't need to buy any more silver for their products this year.
I can totally understand this sentiment. I'm nearing this stage as well since nowhere with customer service this bad really deserves any business.
