I think this only proves stateside that they are holding there positions with anticipation of the next leg up,or should I say the next three or four legs up. I know when getting my silver rounds[american eagles] the price had jumped up over two dollars a ounce. I was fortunate enough to buy before my dealer had the new prices in. Eagles and mapleleafs both were up the same price and aussie silver rounds were at thirty dollars a ounce. The most increased price I saw was Chinese pandas that were going for forty dollars a round. Even if I bought this week instead of last week [which silver was down somewhat] I would have paid two more dollars a ounce. I am hoping this is a signal that the next leg up is within our grasps.
