How can they justify raising the price of the Uncirculated Coin Set to $124.50. There is no silver in any of these coins. These were priced at ~$39 if I remember correctly. Even that price was high in my opinion considering they are clad coins with no really special packaging to speak of. I certainly hope someone at the mint takes a look at this pricing because I cannot believe anyone would pay $124.50 for $5.82 in clad coins in a cardboard/plastic sleave packaging.

A coin dealer near me requires walk ins to take a number, now. You have to wait for a couple hours to either sell or buy. They are also allowing appointments from their website. I never ran into that before, and not sure if that is normal as I was buying from reputable online dealers but had a bad customer service experience and decided to go in person from now on.

WTH is going on!! Wow, this is so weird. I really feel there is a shortage. There has been an increase in industrial use for Military, phones, EV batteries, solar panels, etc.

The government is not telling the little folk what is going on, so it’s up to us to listen intently to what is happening.

Not surenwhatntour point us….

Previously, at a time when Silver was showing potential for an increase, the recommendation was BUY SILVER.

Fast forward to now, with Silver prices at an all time high, the author is not seeing as much potential for profit, so he has reversed directions.

Well the ’26 ASE’s are selling like hotcakes on ebay at $100+ each. I guess I’ll just watch for now

One bullion dealer wants $103 for one 2026 ASE…and a bargain at that…based on that, imagine the Mint’s new silver pricing.

In reply to Craig. "I can only imagine the nightmare scenario having a $10K set of Au coins delivered to someone else." AMEN, Craig! There are so many problems with this scenario. Obviously, someone else just got your coins. Of course, there's the hassle of getting the order straightened out. But don't forget another concern: some stranger now KNOWS that you have gold coins shipped to you. Maybe, in his or her mind, there might be other gold coins located AT THE ADDRESS ON THE BOX.
