 Opening the mint to gold and silver - then and now  |
| Some people think that one of the fundamental institutions of the 19th century should be restored; I will single out Great Britain as the great leader embracing this institution.
This institution was the free minting of gold practiced by Great Britain in its heyday of growth, world economic and financial power. Under this system, any owner of gold bullion could take his bullion to the Royal Mint and have it minted into coins containing the same amount of gold as provided to the Mint by the owner of the bullion delivered. This was done at no cost to the owner of bullion as a government service to the economy.Saturday, September 5, 2020 |

| The Great Silver Mystery...REVEALED! |
| Let me start off by saying that what I am going to postulate should not in any way be considered fact...because I am not in possession of proof. I am merely postulating on where all the mystery silver comes from to be sold on the physical silver market.
Since the early 2000's almost every serious silver analyst has been pounding the table that there is no above ground silver available and it is the "buy of a lifetime".Sunday, August 9, 2020 |

| What’s your weight worth in silver |
| Sometimes known as ‘poor man’s gold’, silver nevertheless has an equally fascinating history. Like its illustrious partner, silver has been associated with wealth and power for thousands of years. Its special properties also made it ideal for coins – hence its use in the oldest mass produced form of coinage.Wednesday, July 29, 2020 |

In those days, monetary policy in China was essentially tied to silver, the national money standard since tWednesday, June 10, 2020 |

| In today's musing, I review the history of gold, silver, and fiat currency as money in the United States of America. I document how various wars, panics and depressions, Congressional acts, and executive orders have affected the US dollar prices of precious metals and resulting gold-silver ratios.This musing covers the period from 1792 when the United States government first established a national currency backed by gold and silver untilMonday, April 6, 2020 |

 The Silver:Gold Ratio, 1687-2011  |
| We have something special this week: the open market value of
silver, compared to gold, over a period of over three centuries. The
location is London.
For a long time, silver and gold were, in a sense, two versions of
the same thing, just like one dollar bills and twenty dollar bills
are today. Their ratio of value was not perfectly stable, like the
20:1 ratio of $1 bills and $20 bills, but it was quite stable
between about 16:1 and 15:1. Both silver and gold serFriday, March 27, 2020 |

| Ted Butler: JPMorgan's motive for controlling the silver price |
| Silver market analyst and manipulation exposer Ted Butler today addresses the possibility that the U.S. government is the real party in interest in JPMorganChase's seeming dominance of the silver market.
Butler writes that he still believes that JPM is rigging the silver market for its own benefit, acquiring a huge position in real metal in anticipation of much higher prices. He writes:
"It is unrealistic, in my opinion, to believe that the U.S. government would single out silver as the one comFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| Silver, Gold and the Dow |
| The gold to silver ratio hit 80 to 1 last week. That is unusual – the 3rd highest in over 20 years. It tells us:
Silver prices are too low compared to gold. Silver falls harder than gold, and rises more rapidly in the late stages of a rally.
Both gold and silver prices are too low. This is confirmed by the amount of global debt, the crazy heights of the stock market, low commodity prices, monetary nonsense, and political uncertainties.
Both silver and gold bottomed in December 2015 and have rTuesday, February 13, 2018 |

| Silver as a Strategic Metal and Why Prices Will Soar |
| The arguments in favor of silver as an investment asset are growing rapidly. In the opinion of the Jackass, silver is the most under-valued hard asset in existence, with the highest potential for price appreciation on the globe. To begin with, central banks own no silver, but do own huge tracts of gold. Industry has huge demand for silver, but a trifling amount for gold demand. The investment demand is another key factor in favor of silver, but also for gold. Ever since the tech telecom bust in Sunday, January 21, 2018 |

| U.S. Gold Market Switches From A Surplus In 2016 To Deficit In 2017 |
| The U.S. gold market suffered a net deficit this year compared to a small surplus in 2016. This was quite interesting because U.S. physical gold demand will be down considerably this year. In 2016, total U.S. gold demand was 212 metric tons versus an estimated 150 metric tons this year. The majority of the decline in U.S. gold demand is from the physical bar and coin sector that is down 56% in the first three quarters of 2017 compared to the same period last year.So, why will the U.S. gold maSunday, January 7, 2018 |

| WORLD SILVER PRODUCTION: 3 Charts You Won’t See Anywhere Else |
| The rate at which global silver production increased over the past century is quite astonishing. When Columbus arrived in America (1492), the world was only producing 7 million oz of silver a year. Today, the world’s largest primary silver mine, Fresnillo’s Sauicto Mine, produced three times that amount in just one year (22 million oz, 2016). Yes, we have come along way in 500 years.Just think about that for a minute. One silver mine last year produced three times the global amount in 1493. Tuesday, December 19, 2017 |

| Anecdotes and Reminiscences How unbacked fiat money corrupts society |
| A well-known story from yesteryear: when Venustiano Carranza was President of Mexico (1917-1920). Carranza issued a great quantity of worthless paper money, which caused much resentment on the part of the population. Someone (whose identity was never discovered) printed up some papers, and these were pasted one night on the walls of buildings in the heart of Mexico City; the papers had the following text:
“The Mexican eagle is a very cruel animal: It eats only silver, and shits only paper.”

| While interest and sentiment in the precious metals have been depressed compared to the preceding month, this all changed during the past few days. This trend change is particularly the case for silver. Even though Silver Eagle sales have been much weaker this year, positive signs show that investors still believe in acquiring the shiny metal when fear and uncertainty enter into the markets.Although, Silver Eagle sales for Jan-Aug 2017 are nearly 50% lower than they were during the same periodThursday, August 31, 2017 |
