that's wrong. there are always buying and selling involved. just like the stock market. beside that. this is just a mild correction. remember it hit a recent high this year for silver ($17.69/oz.) and a record high for gold ($1,025.10/oz.)this morning.
As long as you are selling the coins above replacement cost, wouldn't it be better to sell them below their original cost to you and replace the inventory? That way you still pocket some cash and have the same level of inventory.
Normally... yes that's correct... My circumstances are a little different. We trade our refiner our scrap silver for eagles. Meaning that I get them at a bit of a discount and I can afford to hold them for a while.
