The mint has restricted or suspended sales so many times I cannot even count. They will start minting again when they can obtain blanks.
This is a temporary retail bubble that will soon settle down. The (paper) silver manipulation has gone on for so long with the full govt support they have seen it all, and know how to deal with it.
you cannot squeeze the house when the house can change the rules at any time.
however the retail supply chain is as depleted as the toilet paper aisles were a few months back, and premiums are stupid on everything.
I am sure everything will normalize in a month or two with the price about 25 and normal premiums.
Retail depletion is why I purchased a post-IPO silver mining stock yesterday. Retail isn’t going to be returning their physical silver after the price went down. So silver retailers and wholesalers have to refill their stock. Should be good business for the mines for a while.
