Many bullion dealers are raising premiums. Junk silver's premium is approaching $3.8 over spot now. And JM Bullion's special promotion is valid only for a week. By the time silver ever reaches $15, the promotion might be gone and you will end up paying the same, even higher price for Elephant or Libertad. And $3 over spot for Silver Elephant at any quantity and free shipping, IS ALWAYS a good deal. Why buy 90% junk at that ripoff premium?
Still, there seems to be alot buying in the cash market, based on a Comex total net position bottom at 10000 (x 5000 ounces), the projected bottom price is $14.9, so again up from the previous $14.68 (see http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-61153-13-silver-might-be-possible-page-9.html ) Meaning that todays USD price looks like the bottom of this cycle. Still, from my euro side, a Maple Leaf costs now still 6% more than the previous time ($16 now $15 back then) I bought a chunk. So I'm waiting it out. A next cycle perhaps.
It's not helping us hear in Australia either with the AUD at six-year lows. And our dollar is very likely to head allot lower. Our economy has been crippled for decades to come by the current government.
You would know if some would Pirocco, if I wanted to find out how many contacts took delivery in silver instead of cash last month and for this month when it's over, where would I look? I'm pretty sure this information is public, as is the the sick levels of the exchange, but I'm not sure where to find it.
A currencies value can change from both sides of the equation. At a same AU side, the US side can change from "better" to "worser", with the AUD higher as a "passive" result.

I think we have seen the bottom, and a new cycle started. Here (EU) on the news of the state media they seem to try to make viewers accept debt relief of Greeces State. They even compared the situation with a WW2 one, where Greece gave Germany finance-freebies. Funny how they were completely silent about the 50% debt relief Greeces state already received a few years ago.
Agreed...I picked up 20 x 10oz of the 2015 Kooks today. I hope they don't mint 45,000 of these like they did for the 2012's.
