Right now, you can’t sell silver unless it is .999 or .0000 to the refiners. And dealers are paying less than spot for .999 and even less for 90% silver, if they are even buying.
not sure about this story. I went to a silver web site and was told many, many silver products are available. https://www.apmex.com/category/80253/silver-available-products
The current spot price of silver is about USD 47.96 per troy ounce
There is a thread about 3D printed aluminum.
It might make a good conductor for solar panels.
“In Australia, the globally respected Perth Mint has halted all silver product sales,”
False.
I posted the story into ChartGPT and asked it to evaluate. This is a summary of the response:
Overall evaluation: mostly false / exaggerated, with kernels of truth
The central numeric claim ($128/oz raw silver in China) appears to be false or massively exaggerated relative to real-world data.
The general idea that physical premiums can deviate from paper spot pricing, and that tightness and regional stress can ripple outward, is plausible and consistent with known market dynamics (though usually on a much smaller scale).
Many of the sweeping statements about global shortage, systemic collapse of supply in every region, and wholesale defaults are unsupported by credible data and verge on sensationalism.
If I had to rate the claim’s truthfulness: I’d assign it a ~10–20 % credibility—it mixes real tension in physical markets with dramatic exaggeration and speculative leaps.
Why would China do this, aside from the economic chaos it created?
Is there some new technology heavily dependent on silver?
That would make sense from a military point of view.
Buy up all or most of the silver and deny your enemy the advantage....................
