<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1626381, member: 26302&quot;]Fair enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would basicaly expect to see, if this happens, shortages of coins, jewelry, and &quot;other uses&quot; to be the ones not being available. If a lot of modern coins suddenly became not available due to lack of raw material, (I am not talking about the current situation of ASE&#039;s which I view as the mint misprojecting demand, with spillover to maple leafs), then I would view this as a potential inflection point in physical availability. As such, I believe it could preview a price increase, I simply do not view it as an ode that will mean industry will be shorted. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have worked in industries that had periodic shortages. All metal manufacturers take care of long time customers in a shortage situation. If a metal is short, long time customers will get put on allocation and new buyers get shut out. I would wager the same would happen in any potential PM shortage. I just think we are quite a ways away from any potential &quot;true&quot; silver shortage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
