When talking of silver prices, it’s a combo of paper silver plus physical silver. Since it is so corrupt, with paper to silver ratio upwards of 300 to 1, the price can be set via clicking a mouse.

But, the days are numbered imho for paper silver and gold. And once the COMEX falls, silver prices will reflect physical silver supply/demands.

Perhaps consider replacing the penny and buying back the circulated ones for three times their face value.

Majority of the dry fertilizers come from Russia.
