UK Royal Mint is concerned over a liquidity crisis for silver as demand and price soars

Watching War Room and Bannon just dropped that news nugget.
I guess in the UK the demand for silver is outpacing the supply and now people are wanting their silver in hand rather than being held by a depository. This has caused the Royal Mint to voice concerns over their ability to supply the requested silver if customers want the metal in hand.
From the Economic Times........
Silver hit all time high as supply lags behind demand

I have a feeling that the run up in precious metals prices is just getting started.

As soon as faith in fiat currency starts to break demand for physical gold and silver is going to explode and the current government debt crisis will explode.
There will then have to be a reset to a new norm. The question is who is controlling the levers of power when that takes place and what follows as a result.

Until you see a serious effort to rein in out of control federal government deficit spending with some tangible results......I think you're right.
If the Central Bank power brokers wanted to save their fiat currency system they could but I think most of the real power brokers and wealthy elites have already moved away from paper assets and into hard assets....they're positioned for the reset and will consolidate even more wealth.

Gold bumped up close to $4300/ounce this morning.

Interesting they didn’t include the most important reason. For years the banks have been arbitrating the metals, and since spot is lower in London, the banks ship it to New York. As soon as the price shifts they’ll start sending it back to London.

I feel bad from discouraging my mom from buying a lot more last year but those brokers really rape you both buying and selling.
Is there a better place for her to buy silver than Kirk Elliott?

All good for the local economy. Two of the largest employers are gold and silver mines.
Silver mine is the USAs largest.

I bought from Apmex like 10 years ago and it seemed solid.
I went doomer 15-20 years ago and purchased gold/silver as I figured we would go Argentina mode at some point. I feel like we are not far off.

Don't know Sir Winston.
I don't own gold bullion. I have some numismatic gold, gold ETF, silver ETF and some mining stocks. Unless shite really goes off the rails I think I could sell my metal ETFs and mining stock very quickly if I need to raise cash, not sure how quickly I could do that with physical gold and silver without paying a premium, but then again I'm not real familiar with buying and selling bullion.

Buying gold or silver and not getting it in hand seems to defeat the purpose of buying it in the first place.
You’re buying the idea of that gold or silver existing and trusting that it’s physically there and that you can access it, withdraw, or sell it if needed. In a financial crash, you could encounter similar problems accessing it as you would fiat currencies.
Ooops turns out it’s not really there, you can’t have your gold. Sorry, money is gone.

The problem is the cash raised would be worthless in such a scenario

Silver or gold doesn’t necessarily have the purchasing power of lead in the right quantities.
