I thought it was the other way around - the big markets where the big players trade are closed on the weekends, but dealers and coin shows and...
Money Metals is advertising a buy price of 50.28x, selling at 57.94x ($1/oz below spot, they say). First time I've seen a published buy price over...
I assume that the image and the linked article are pure AI spew.
To be fair, there was a lot of other stuff going on in 2020...
