Did some release dates get pushed back? did someone already post on this?
I was sure the Congradulations set was scheduled for January 20th, Now I see February 26th. Anyone confirm?
If so I Guess they have more time to price adjust.

In reply to CaliSkier. Cali: “every numismatic silver coin anyone could want” …… silver stackers do not usually buy numismatic silver unless offered at spot or less, from my observation. The Silver Academy silver article appears to be conflating silver bullion market with retail sales of small qty silver coins……to some extent. The world wide silver market is in a strange place now, between Comex/CME raising silver futures contracts margins in the middle of the night causing liquidity issues with “too big to fail” investment banks to seemingly credible reports of individuals paying way over spot with US dollars in Asian markets for physical silver…

In reply to CaliSkier. Cali, thanks for your due diligence. I saw the story late in the day after I got out of surgery. Didn’t get a chance to look and verify myself yet. All is good with me. Take care all.

East Coast the information on Perth Mint may have been accurate at some point? However, currently you can buy all the bullion Roos you want, direct from the Perth Mint, including by the tube as of 12:30am EST on 1/8/26. The Royal Mint has tubes of 1/4 and 1/2oz bullion Britannias in stock and every numismatic silver coin anyone could want. I know you didn’t write the article posted on Substack re: Silver Academy, just relaying what I found. Baird may only have 2026 1oz Britannias, however they also have plenty of other silver products to choose from.

Paul,

Good luck. You’re gonna need it. It’s a tough position.

But your background is well suited for the task.

Congratulations on your appointment.

Cheers

Paul should be a good choice. I wish him well. I can’t post the current Silver Academy article as I get put in the time out corner, but if true there is a disturbance in the force. A dealer canceled someones order. The guy didn’t post the name of the company, but I would. They need to held to the same level as they hold us if we cancelled an order after 10 days. Perth mint is out of Roos. Baird is out of Britannias unless it is a 2026. Royal Mint is out of silver per the article. Something to ponder…
