<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1618413, member: 29012&quot;]I&#039;m not really paying mind to the US Mint in particular. I don&#039;t buy from them, and I prefer 9999 Canadian silver anyway. I&#039;m just looking at it from a demand standpoint which is independent of how many the US Mint decides to make. Less than 2 weeks into 2013 they sold as many as they did in all of January 2012. If people aren&#039;t willing to pay the premiums then these are going to sit in dealer inventory. Nobody who is an avid silver collector is going to overpay for an SAE which is a government minted round. Personally I have never bought from the US Mint and I&#039;ve never paid more than $4 over spot for one. These premiums are outrageous and I doubt they will sell unless Joe Sixpack makes an appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to consider. Maybe they can&#039;t make enough because they don&#039;t have enough silver. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> We haven&#039;t identified the reasons why, only speculated, but it is a fact that yearly SAE demand exceeds silver pulled out of the ground in the US. SAE demand alone requires buying foreign silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
