With investment demand for Silver Eagles continuing to be very strong, the U.S. Mint sold nearly 7 million of the official coins in the first six weeks of the new year.\u00a0 Even Gold Eagles’ sales hit a new record in January, pushing premiums up to $150+ for the one-ounce 2021 official coin.\u00a0 I believe we are going to see record physical gold and silver buying in 2021.<\/p>\n

According to the most recent update as of Feb 9th, the U.S. Mint sold 2,121,000 Silver Eagles so far in the month and 71,500 oz of Gold Eagles.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 As you can see below, the U.S. Mint only sold the 1-ounce Gold Eagles in February.<\/p>\n

The total Silver Eagles to data are 6,896,000 and 292,000 oz of Gold Eagles.\u00a0 I corresponded with Dan at CLOUD HARD ASSETS<\/strong><\/a> this morning, and they can only provide Random Year Silver Eagles, but they have one of the lowest prices.\u00a0 Some large online dealers are selling the 2021 Silver Eagles with a 10-14 day wait time, while other dealers are selling only the Random Year Silver Eagles.\u00a0 The average premium above spot for the Random Year from the top online dealers was nearly $12.\u00a0 However, Cloud Hard Assets is selling them for only $8.40 above spot.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the four competing online dealers offered a lower price for Random Silver Eagles, but they didn’t have any in stock to sell.\u00a0 What’s also quite interesting is that it’s hard to obtain the larger silver bullion bars.\u00a0 Very few dealers have supply of the 100 oz silver bars.\u00a0 And, if you can find them, they are selling at $5-$6+ over spot.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Even the 1,000 oz wholesale silver bars are hard to acquire with high premiums.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my subscriber article below, something BIG CHANGED in the silver market as a record 110 million oz of silver “supposedly” moved into the iShares SLV ETF.\u00a0 Not only did a record amount of silver move into the SLV ETF, so did the number of shares.\u00a0 In just three days (JAN 28th-FEB 2nd), the SLV ETF’s total shares increased by 119 million.\u00a0 It seems to me that this was a way to CAP the SLV share price.\u00a0 Since the peak on Feb 2nd, the silver inventories in the SLV ETF fell by 40 million oz, and the shares declined by 44 million.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though the “supposed” silver inventories in the SLV ETF surged and then declined, something BIG CHANGED compared to the silver rally in July-August 2020.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 If you look at the chart below, we can see how little metal moved into the SLV ETF during the price rise in late July and early August.\u00a0 However, on a much smaller price rise recently, the amount of metal that moved into the SLV ETF was a record high.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The much talked about “Silver ShortSqueeze” will likely continue due to the lack of available physical silver and tightness in the wholesale silver bar market.\u00a0 If you check out the article above, I explain why how Investment Demand is now competing with Industrial Demand.\u00a0 This will likely turn out very similar to what is taking place in the Palladium Market.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
