The price of silver is surging as the demand for physical metals ramps up. The United States Mint raised silver coin prices by 85% (from $91 to $169), anticipating silver could soon exceed $100/oz, reflecting institutional expectations of a historic price explosion.

According to a report by Natural News, some global entities have attempted to depress the price of silver. Despite years of alleged manipulation by JP Morgan and China to artificially depress silver prices, the metal has broken through $30/oz, with spot prices now near $93.52, proving paper-market controls are collapsing as demand for physical silver surges.
