<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ana Silverbell, post: 2454654, member: 75156&quot;]I do not disagree with what you wrote.&nbsp; Most events cause short-term movement. The rest is mostly speculative.</p><p><br /></p><p>But one factor that I have tried to research but cannot answer yet is the question:&nbsp; What impact does the rise of government mint coin production have on the price of gold and silver since the 1980s? Countries around the world are making coins for collectors (Eagles/Pandas/Superman). I imagine that these countries are consuming large quantities of silver and gold to meet the demand.&nbsp; Are these countries purchasing large quantities on the open market? Is that driving precious metal prices down? I ask because I surmise that any government purchasing large quantities of PMs would negotiate a competitive (lower) price, thereby driving the price of PMs down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this is a topic for a new thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
