Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts tells King World News today that the smashing of gold and silver prices is a Federal Reserve campaign to defend the U.S. dollar against a hyperinflationary scenario. "The exchange value of the dollar is threatened," Roberts says, "and if that collapses the Fed loses control over interest rates. Then the bond market blows up, the stock market blows up, and the banks that are too big to fail, fail. So it's an act of desperation because they've got to establish in people's minds that the dollar is the only safe place, it is the only safe haven, not gold, not silver, and not other currencies."

The metals boom brought out a lot of nice inventory that is dropping in price. I picked up a roll of uncirculated 1921 Morgan Silver
Dollars with my regular Silver Eagle purchase. Lots of nice vintage Walking Liberties have been hitting the market too. Today there wasn’t a single gold coin left in the local shop by the time I got there.
