US Mint Nearly Doubles Silver Eagle Prices From $91 to $173 Per Ounce While Customers Trying To Buy Precious Metals From Dealers Are Told By Their Banks That The Wires Cannot Be Completed

What’s unfolding isn’t a single headline—it’s a systemic shift hiding in plain sight.

The U.S. Mint just nearly doubled the price of Silver Eagles - massive implications.

One of the largest US precious metals dealers (Apmex) slapped on a $10,000 minimum order threshold this week.

Retail investors are reporting blocked bank wires to metal dealers.

And this all happens just before a long market holiday, when liquidity is thin and public attention is elsewhere. But zoom out—and the pattern sharpens.

Silver is now officially deemed a national security asset.

That reclassification opens the door to price controls, export restrictions, and prioritization of supply for strategic use.

Meanwhile, the gold-silver ratio is flashing historically (recent history only) tight spreads—but retail buying is split 50/50.

This isn't a trade—it’s a rush out of an exponentially depreciating currency. A rotation from promises to property.

Central banks are the most well informed and well funded traders in the world, as Andy Schectman astutely points out.

They’re the ones who have been leading the move. They’re not speculating. They’re settling accounts. Mining stocks are still asleep…

but real metal demand is waking up—and accelerating. We are in the early innings of the great repricing of tangible value. The implications are equally exciting and concerning.

At the same time, geopolitical tensions are accelerating.

War drums are beating louder while supply chains are shifting.

A 3 day weekend means more potential for big moves while markets are closed.

This isn’t about silver going up.

This is about the monetary system changing.

Back to what has worked since the beginning of time.

Right as the existing world order is coming apart at the seams.

Strategic assets are being nationalized or locked down. And the institutions who understand this best aren’t telling the public—they’re just quietly acting.
