I'm based in Sarawak. But KL, has alot of coin shops you can shop around for such commemorative or 0.925 silver coins.

I was also having some chat with coin collectors and silver stackers.
They said generally 0.925 or 0.9 silver (those junk silver), should be transacted at spot or below spot. Anything above spot, unless for numismatic purposes then it's not so worth. Especially at current volatile and high silver price.

silver appears to be on the verge of a breakout.

china buying up whatever silver available in open market.

comex physical metal continues to get drained.

kazahkstan, mexico mines output declining, solar panels, EVs demand rising.

shanghai silver spot at $91.19; GSR now at <58.

lets see if it will soon break $84, then $92.

Silver was already on-the-fly when I mentioned at 6th: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=112962679

If you look with plain candlestick charts, you will never get accurate responses... cool2.gif

silver has broken $84, rising faster than gold.

GSR or gold silver ratio is now 54.

reasons:

Silver surges as Peru supply fears collide with rising industrial demand optimism
https://www.equiti.com/jo-en/news/market-in...emand-optimism/

there's speculation gulf states start to sell US treasuries, buy precious metals.

lastly, a rumor that info was leaked about the floor price USA will set for silver, a designated critical metal, in july.

if it breaks $92, it will easily go 100, then 121.

comex $87.00; shanghai $98.68
