<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 854787, member: 66&quot;]Demand is not as great right now as it was last year when silver was going over $20 and everyone thought it was going to go even higher.&nbsp; Back then you COULDN&#039;T go out to shops and easily pick up 2009 bullion ASE&#039;s.&nbsp; They either didn&#039;t have them available (and usually no other silver either) or if they did they want a high premium for them.&nbsp; But silver dropped and now all those people who were clambering to buy it at $22 an oz have little interest at $17 so the 2009&#039;s 2010&#039;s and the other dates are available again.&nbsp; You let silver pop up over $20 and oz again and the ASE&#039;s will disappear again and the distributors orders to the mint will greatly increase again.&nbsp; If it does it suddenly enough there will once again be a shortage of planchets and rationing will return.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was also the problem of planchet production. There are only a few firms that create those silver planchets and they supply multple manufacturers.&nbsp; During the height of the demand period those firms were maxed out on production and their customers were requesting more planchets per day than they could make.&nbsp; When that happened it didn&#039;t matter that the Mint wanted and needed more planchets, they weren&#039;t going to get them.&nbsp; So using every planchet they could get they couldn&#039;t keep up with the bullion orders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
