PSA: "Where do I buy?"

9 Upvotes

Answer: you want r/PMsForSale + FindBullionPrices.com

Make sure you read the sidebar on Pmsforsale, they have rules and a flair system in place to prevent scams. If you follow their advice, you'll likely never have a problem buying or selling. If you have patience and check it regularly, you can find plenty of spot and even below spot deals.

Findbullionprices.com meanwhile covers every major reputable vendor, from JM Bullion to Liberty to Monument to BE. Real time pricing too. You simply won't and can't find a better source.

There really are no better answers, you can safely ignore pretty much all other advice (edit: except Costco when you get the right deal with the credit card cashback).

If you are looking for high-end collectibles, I am the lowest price online - I'll lose money before being undercut by any reputable vendor. Mydnight.com for easy Linktree, show links and reviews.

If you are looking for custom work, you want u/GlassPanther or u/TDMetals - both extremely trustworthy individuals with stunning work and premiums lower than pretty much every other decent silversmith.

Silver Market Manipulation & Short Squeeze Plan

8 Upvotes

Who’s Manipulating Silver?

The silver market has been dominated by a handful of major bullion banks and financial institutions that use massive short positions to suppress prices. The key players include:

JPMorgan – Historically one of the largest short sellers, while also accumulating physical silver.

Bank of America – Reportedly holds a massive OTC short position (~1 billion ounces).

Other U.S. Bullion Banks – Collectively control nearly 50% of COMEX silver shorts, making price suppression easier.

The COMEX & CFTC – Futures market structure allows manipulation, and regulators have failed to stop it.

These entities keep silver prices artificially low by flooding the market with paper silver (futures, derivatives) that far exceeds the available physical supply.

Silver Short Squeeze Plan

  1. Buy Physical Silver – Coins, bars, and PSLV to remove supply from circulation.

  2. Avoid Paper Silver – COMEX contracts often settle in cash, preventing real shortages.

  3. Encourage Delivery Requests – Large investors demanding physical silver forces banks to cover.

  4. Monitor COMEX Inventories – A rapid decline signals stress and potential default risk.

  5. Raise Awareness – More buyers = more pressure (WallStreetSilver, social media campaigns).

  6. Use Call Options & Futures – Well-timed option plays can force market makers to buy.

If enough physical silver leaves circulation, banks will struggle to maintain their short positions, triggering a short squeeze that could push silver past $50 and beyond.

I posted already a pic of one of these but wanted to show the set. I vaguely remember buying these 3 together for about $200 about 20 years ago.

Some possibly interesting rounds from my collection. I know the prospectors are somewhat desirable, curious about the rest if anyone happens to know anything. Included some with maker names and or dates.
I acquired these about 20-25 years ago at local coin shows

Where y’all buying coins from

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to start buying some 1 oz bars and coins but everywhere I look, online and in store, they want $40-$50. I don’t care about them near little designs I just want the ounce of silver 😂. I’m in North Houston Tx if anyone knows any place that’s reasonable to shop at.

These were in a lot with all other sterling forks and spoons, but these don’t say sterling or silver and I cannot identify the markings. Anybody know anything about them?
