People want silver and gold.

Found the 2013 maples for sale and hollah back...

Read the entire article... Like the US 2013 eagles the 2013 maples are suspended (current silver)

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I have a 1922 Peace silver dollar with the words, "In God We Trvst"
instead of "Trust. Trust is misspelled.

Can anyone tell me about this coin?

Thanks so much.

The gooberment does not want everyone rushing to trade all the Federal reserve notes for gold and silver which are real money...

They all have the V... The V stands for victory. The coin commentates the end of WW1. The coin was so popular they kept the V in it.

I love mints!

It's a Roman numeral version.

TrVst is actually worth 5 times what a Trust coin is.

Thank u for helping me. U are a good soul. I was going to hang on to it. Do u think it will ever be worth much...aside from the silver content?

Why do you all think they are doing this now?

Thank u, too. I did not expect u guys to even answer. thanks so much.

a few years back I ordered 200 generic silver rounds from a company for $12 a piece. this is usually from the secondary market. they didn't have any used stuff so they sent me 200 individually wrapped, new rounds from the Canadian Mint. I really lucked out on that purchase....

Pretty much sold out everywhere cause they limited production, indeed.

People say I live in the past. Pretty soon they'll be buying silverware to melt down.

In 1689, the King had his silverware melted down to finance the war effort. In the 18th century, under the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI, goldware and silverware were on a smaller scale, giving us snuffboxes, lockets, smelling salt boxes, sweetboxes, etc. During the Revolution, the profession lost all its privileges and a large number of liturgical items of goldware and silverware were melted down.

I don't think that the Canadian Mint is suspending sales... Maybe I missed it in the article.

From the article:
"Investor interest in silver bullion coins remains at high levels with yet another world mint showing signs that it is unable to meet demand. The Royal Canadian Mint is now rationing supplies of its 2013 Silver Maple Leaf.

This move comes one week after the United States Mint suspended sales of their 2013 American Eagle silver bullion coins after inventories sold out, saying it would ration or limit orders when sales resume. Both series of bullion coins are struck for investors and guaranteed for weight and purity by the issuing government."

Both of these mints rationing for an indefinite period of time sounds like an even bigger story. Suspending sales for a few weeks could easily be blamed on a missed transport or something temporary.

cue the happy dance!

Pool, u are a visionary...u see the future.

According to the article, they are not suspending sales but they are rationing them.

In both countries, there is record demand for the silver coins and they are selling out faster than they can produce them.

Production at both mints has not been scaled back, it has increased... but not enough to satisfy demand.

Have any of you heard anything about some trust banks in Chicago taking down the federal Reserve Note. Plus them taking over the country that way?

I am just saying this is a rumor for now.

$13 if well-worn, $15 if almost uncirculated.

Two notes to clear up any confusion:

> The normal terminology for how coins are made is "struck" or "minted". "Printing" is normally used only to refer to things made with paper and ink such as bills.

> The word "TRVST" is NOT a misspelling. In the 1920s it was fashionable to use the old Roman alphabet on coins and other objects. In Roman writing, the letter we call "U" was written as "V". There have been several other extensive discussions about this usage in other threads. Regardless of any myths surrounding it, the spelling is purely stylistic and is NOT an error.

I want the hockey dollar.

$20 for $20 worth of silver, good deal?

all I saw was a shopping cart. I'd pay more at a coin store and avoid a paper trail. If they're going after guns, they'll probably go after gold and silver also.

$24.1144100087 is the total melt value for the 1921-1935 silver Peace dollar on January 25, 2013.

There are lots of freshly minted silver ounce coins here in Mexico.

Yesterday I watched the teller open up a big box of them and handle them with disregard as if they were potato chips or something of little value.

For those who go to Mexico to purchase silver, I've found the best prices and confidence in the authenticity of the product at the Banco Azteca branches, located in practically every town. I don't know how it compares to the US or Canada but yesterday they were selling at 403 pesos per ounce.

It's a PsyOp to get everyone to divert their money to Silver that may have purchased Gold. There is a physical shortage of Gold (Not paper but real hard Gold) and the central banks are hoarding it in anticipation of the Basel-3 rules to shore up their balance sheets reserves.

You notice the marketing and promotion of Platinum and Palladium as well right now ?

You can see the diversion tactics plain as day !

are you blind or what ?

when sales resume

Dude... You're freaking out!
No I'm not blind. Can you read and comprehend? This thread is about the Canadian mint and not the US Mint.

The point I was making is that a short term suspension of sales is not as big as a deal as rationing of sales until further notice. Many have been waiting for the physical silver shortage to override the paper fantasy. It sounds as though that time has come.
