<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 24680193, member: 104064"]Thanks, that explains it, if I'm interpreting it correctly. They could obtain an ounce of gold for 15 ounces of silver, take it to Europe or the West Indies, get a "considerably higher" amount of silver for it, then go back to the US for more and pocket the difference. Seems like an untenable situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
