To Those Who Say Gold Profits Are Over, We Say... Bull!

The Unfolding Dollar Crisis

   There is a crisis unfolding that all of us can sense. It feels a bit like the year 2000 all over again, when the media was thumbing its nose at Gold and hyping dot com Stocks that were all the rage. The NASDAQ peaked at 5,048 before it lost 80% of its value.

   Perhaps it feels more like 2007 when Greenspan’s Fed flooded the country with cheap home loans, inflated the housing market via phony credit applications, ending in the 2008 mortgage crisis and financial meltdown that nearly took down every bank in the country. Yes, something is very wrong especially as Washington’s borrowing and spending remains out of control. What’s coming next may really catch many Americans by surprise. If you’re not prepared, then you could end up losing everything you’ve worked so hard for all of your life.

Irrational Hype of Stocks

   Over the decades, the Austin Report has warned readers of irrational exuberance in Stocks, and we feel the same way today. We warned of massive Government spending and debt accumulation, yet it continues unabated. We warned of the unexpected consequences of the Federal Reserve fueling $3.2 Trillion of newly created money into the U.S. economy. Each month in 2014, $65 Billion more is mindlessly created. We warned that excessive money always ends up in the pockets of bankers and Wall Street executives— resulting in  artificially historic high prices for Stocks. We have been right time and time again. 

   Today, we’ve issued another clear, unmistakable warning: “Take Cover in Face of a Falling Dollar.” As the Federal Reserve creates seemingly endless amounts of money out of thin air, and Washington spends it,  the Stock Market soars.  So, maybe the economy perks up a bit, but people only feel happy for a while. That is, until the Fed bubble deflates into the next crash. As you’ll learn in this report, as excessive Dollars are fabricated, the value of every other Dollar in existence loses buying power. What’s next is almost unthinkable.

A Falling Dollar Would Kill the Economy

   Today we’re warning our readers of the quietly developing currency crisis. The coming Dollar crisis is of such magnitude that it will change the value of every investment you own. This is what you’ve been worried about. 

   Those who know the facts early can take cover from Stocks and Bonds as the U.S. Dollar sits on the verge of extinction as the world’s only reserve currency.    

   Our nation’s enemies are not standing idly by as our Central Bankers have printed Billions then Trillions of new dollars— a total of $3.2 Trillion “new” Dollars, in fact. That’s three times the total national debt when Ronald Reagan was President. Even after the taper, Dollar creation remains at $65 Billion every month. It’s ridiculous to think the Fed can get away with it! 

Why Debt Will Kill the Dollar

Our Federal Reserve knows fully that every new Dollar printed decreases the value of every existing Dollar. 

When the paper printing gets this out of control, the Fed risks that the world’s only reserve currency may be on the brink of disaster. Remember the 2007 crisis?  

Every Paper Currency Ever Invented Has Failed

   We may be on the verge of the U.S. Dollar following history’s trend. Here’s how the death of every paper currency has unfolded from Roman times till now. Government spends and spends. They borrow when they spend more than comes in. In our case, the U.S. has amassed a $17 Trillion national debt. 

Sadly, our politicians never attempt to pay down the debt, they only pay the interest, and they continue to spend. 

   Congress raises taxes until it can no longer tax its citizens anymore. They continue spending until they finally must print money just to pay the bills.

Debt and Currency Creation Matters

   For a sovereign nation, debt and currency inflation destroys everything. Over time, the value of the paper currency declines, slowly at first. Inflation rises noticeably as the cost of housing, food, gasoline, energy, and consumer goods rise 10%, 20% then 30%.

Real food prices have surged dramatically over the last quarter.

   Government officials lie about inflation  by excluding food and energy from the equation. Inflation steals buying power from every income bracket, and people suffer.

   At some point, our trading partners get angry. They attack our currency scheme that steals money from the U.S. Treasuries they hold. Finally, these countries refuse to accept our paper IOUs. No one will loan us money to buy things from China or Europe, so imports slow. Shortages develop, prices escalate rapidly, and the U.S. economy stalls.

   If the excessive money creation continues, there will be a mad rush to dump Dollars— first by our enemies, then by everyone. This will create a Dollar sell-off and panic. 

China’s Big Gold Shocker

   Until something drastic changes, each day America gets closer to this “day of reckoning.” It may shock you to learn that an economic war is already underway. 

  Our angry trading partners will not need missiles, bombs, or tanks to wage war on America. It will only take a strong economic power like China, with money and time, to push the U.S. Dollar over the cliff.  It appears the process has already quietly begun.

  Major economic agreements between nations with larger populations and larger economies than ours are already happening. The economic and currency wars are underway.

Asia is the New Leader

  In 2012, China surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest trading nation. India & China’s “emerging economies” have a population of more than 2.5 Billion people, and can no longer be considered third world countries. This is more than twice the population of all of North America and the entire European Union combined. 

  For too long, the U.S. has abused its world reserve currency to export inflation and create a burgeoning debt that’s mathematically impossible to repay. No wonder China wants to replace the Dollar with Gold-backed Yuan creating a very different world order.

   No wonder the rest of the world is fleeing from Dollars. The Federal Reserve’s QE3 stimulus program is representative of what is happening to the current Dollar denominated paradigm - they have been forced to purchase $80 Billion per month in U.S. bonds. 

  Why did they have to purchase those bonds? Because the rest of the world refused to. The implications of this policy spells the beginning of the end of the U.S. Dollar’s prominence on the world stage.

The Federal Reserve owns more of our own debt than any other country in the world
and in 2013 they purchased 150% more of our debt than all foreigners combined.

Ultimately, will you want to own the Dollar, the Yuan, or Gold?

China Announced They’ve Expanded Their Gold Reserves By 76%

  The reason behind China trading Dollars for Gold is a smart strategy. China owns some $1.227 Trillion Dollars in U.S. Treasuries and the interest we pay them does not cover inflation. Every day, they are worth less. These IOUs are backed only by the “full faith and credit of United States Government.” To put it bluntly:  Our trading partners, including Japan and China, have lost faith in the Dollar. 

  Worse yet, China fears America may default and never repay our loans to them. You’ve heard already of China’s mad rush to trade U.S. Dollars for our pork factories, theaters, oil, gas, and rare Earth minerals. 

This May Be a Big Shocker

  It may surprise you to learn just how many U.S. Treasury IOUs China has traded for Gold. 

1. China just surpassed France and Italy to hold the third largest Gold reserves in the world. 
2. China purchased enough physical Gold last year to equal all the Gold mined in the world.
3. When Gold ETFs liquidated in 2013, China bought up all the physical Gold it could.
4. China refuses to report their total Gold reserves.

China Buys Gold at Any Price

  Gold prices falling last year were a real mystery to many of us. While paper Gold prices slid, the demand continued to be very high for real, physically delivered Gold. Despite falling Gold prices in 2013, China hoarded record amounts of the yellow metal into their Central Treasury.

China is not concerned if Gold is trading at $1,200 or $1,600 today— it only cares what Gold will be worth in the future. We should all feel the same way.

  Officials are very worried about the Dollar. China is betting Gold will outperform Dollars in the long run. Why else would they buy so much of it? They believe Gold will again play a significant role in international trade, as it has always done throughout history, up until 1971 when the U.S. got off the Gold Standard.   

  China is bound and determined to replace the U.S. Dollar’s stranglehold on world trade. One way to do that is to replace the U.S. Dollar with China’s Yuan as the world’s only reserve currency backed by Gold.  

They are Winning the Currency War

  Currency war, also known as competitive devaluation, is when countries compete against each other to achieve a relatively low exchange rate for their own currency. 

  China’s efforts are well underway. In March, the Bank of England and the People’s Bank of China agreed to settle trade transactions in the U.K. using the Yuan. This makes China’s currency a serious rival to the Dollar’s supremacy in global trade, which should concern every American.

This follows Germany, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan’s agreement to make their currencies convertible for China’s Yuan. Only by circumventing the U.S. Dollar, can China truly control its own destiny.

The Disaster You've Sensed Is Coming

  We’re worried that the U.S. Dollar is destined to fail as the world’s exclusive reserve currency. The Dollar remains fragile. Any event, at any time could trigger a sudden, sharp sell-off of the Dollar. That’s why China is hoarding Gold and why you need more Gold too.

  We’re all in this boat together as Americans. This growing risk threatens to change the value of every investment you own. As this exclusive Austin Report sinks in, you can understand why we are absolutely confident in our opinion.

The Gold Bull Is Not Dead

  The early stages of the bull market for Gold have generated profits of over 475% from year 2000 until March 2014. 

  Likewise, Silver has followed suit and created profits of 400%. Impressive? Yes! But, we believe the 21st century Gold Bull Market run is far from exhausted. In our opinion, the best profits are still ahead. We recommend buying Gold now and taking advantage of the current bull market lull.

Forecasts of $5,000 Gold

  How high can Gold go? Our answer is— it doesn’t matter. Theoretically, the fall of the Dollar could take Gold to extreme highs. The price of Gold is (generally) inversely related to the value of the United States Dollar. Some experts use this to justify their forecasts for $5,000 or $10,000 Gold. We do not.

Frankly, we aren’t concerned with the value of Gold today or next month. We own Gold so it will retain its future buying power years from now since we know the Dollar cannot. 

  When the Dollar crisis finally unfolds, we will depend on Gold to sustain our buying power. We will be thankful to have preserved our legacy of wealth to take care of us in retirement and hand down to future generations.

  As Mark Twain once said, “I’m more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.” 

Buy Before the Breakout

  Since we wrote our first Austin Report article about Gold and Silver some 15 years ago, we’ve  always recommended precious metals as a core holding. We’ve urged anyone who owns no Gold and no Silver to protect themselves against unpredictable events.

  You can see that readers who heeded our warning have avoided Stock losses time and again. They’ve also multiplied their wealth as Gold value soared 475% and Silver is up 400% since the year 2000.

We admit there have been an extraordinary number of events to reward people who owned Gold and Silver. All came totally unexpected just like the Dollar crisis. 

  There was the dot com crash as the NASDAQ lost 80% of its value. Then after the 9/11 Terrorist Attack investors suddenly lost $1.2 Trillion in Stocks. The 2008 Sub-prime Mortgage Crisis ended in a near financial meltdown for banks across the globe. Just like insurance, you need to own precious metals to protect against the unexpected.

Plan Your Dollar Escape by Diversifying Now

  Today, we are warning again of the inevitable destruction of the U.S. Dollar as the world’s only reserve currency. If the Dollar falls dramatically, as we fully expect, Gold’s value will multiply many times over. 

  Diversify your life savings; defend against a Dollar crisis or a Stock and Bond meltdown. Follow China’s example and hoard away Gold while it’s relatively cheap.

  We believe this is a time to be extremely conservative with your family’s savings. The coming Dollar crisis could make the dot com bust and 2008 financial disaster look like a day in the park. When a nation’s currency collapses, inflation soars until hyperinflation eventually destroys all buying power. 

Buy More Gold, Silver, Hard Assets

  If you don’t own Gold or Silver, consider purchasing now while prices are very attractive. We’ve long recommended a core holding of 10% to 20% of your liquid assets in precious metals. Only you can determine how much is enough. 

  Austin Rare Coins & Bullion’s team of Gold, Silver, and Rare Coin Specialists are here to help recommend the best private, non-reportable forms of Gold and Silver to add to your portfolio. Call 1-800-928-6468 with any questions.  

Reasons to Buy Gold Today

• As an alternative investment to holding risky paper Dollars.
• To protect family wealth from years of inflation.
• Diversification from holding bonds or bank savings paying less than inflation.
• For freedom and independence from Government intrusion into our lives.

Precious Metals vs. The Investment World

Finding The Best Values for 2014

In the investing world and life in general a rule that cannot be overlooked is value. Am I getting the most value out of my money and is the asset that I am purchasing overvalued or undervalued? In 2014, this is a question that is easily answered.

   With stocks trading at all-time highs from Fed induced stimulus programs like Quantitative Easing – I, II, and III, how easy is it to ascertain what the value of a stock really is? With some stocks trading at more than 100 times earnings how can one come to the faulty conclusion that these stocks offer value? They don’t. When the Federal Reserve chose to inject markets with monetary heroin, they severely impacted investors being able to measure value.

   David Stockman, former Reagan Advisor and Director of the OMB, recently commented on the stock market saying what we are seeing is “the kind of speculative froth you get at the top of a cycle where valuation loses any anchor in the real world; from earnings or the prospects of the economy.” Mr. Stockman – we couldn’t agree more.

Buy the All-Time High?

   With stocks at all-time highs and real estate showing signs of a bubble how do you plan on protecting your assets in the current investing environment? If you were about to make an investment and had two choices – one market that was trading at unheard of valuations and was near an all-time high and another market that could double and not be trading where it was within the last five years – where would you choose to put your money? The answer to that question should be an easy one.

Goldman Sachs Chief Strategist David Kostin recently commented on the current valuation problems that stocks will face in 2014 saying:
“The current valuation of the S&P 500 is lofty by almost any measure, both for the aggregate market as well as the median stock…the cyclically-adjusted P/E ratio suggests the S&P 500 is currently 30% overvalued in terms of Operating EPS and about 45% overvalued using As Reported earnings.”

   Even the Federal Reserve joined the chorus regarding valuations.  From the recently released minutes of the FOMC:  “In their discussion of potential risks, several participants commented on the rise in forward price-to-earnings ratios for some smallcap stocks, the increased level of equity repurchases, or the rise in margin credit. One pointed to the increase in issuance of leveraged loans this year and the apparent decline in the average quality of such loans.” - FOMC

   JP Morgan recently released a report showing that US Stocks were trading at over two standard deviations above their average valuations and were the most expensive (overvalued) in the entire world. 

   Companies like Pinterest are valued at $3 billion yet they have never earned a profit. Twitter has never made a profit and actually lost nearly $65 million last QUARTER but is currently valued at about $22 Billion. Facebook is trading at an equivalent of 100 years of earnings yet is supposedly worth more than $100 Billion. 

   It is hard to deny the argument that there appears to be an enormous amount of misplaced optimism regarding the economy. The last time markets were this frothy was in back in 2007 leading into the Great Recession.

The Rest of the Story

On the bright side – there are tremendous values in the investment marketplace – you just aren’t going to find them in stocks, bonds, and real estate. Since 2011 Precious Metals like Gold have declined more than 35%. Silver in the same time frame is down about 50%. At these levels, there is little doubt that Gold and Silver are currently undervalued.  The fundamentals that started this bull market are firmly in place and the metals seem poised for their tremendous gains of the past to return full force. 

   In terms of valuations, Gold and Silver couldn’t be more different than stocks, bonds, and real estate.
On one hand you have hard assets like Gold and Silver that are beginning a recovery after a strong correction. On the other you have assets that are trading at valuations never before seen and are clearly entering bubble territory. Which one would you rather be holding?

Three Best Values in Precious Metals

   Based on the information above it becomes evident that Precious Metals offer far more value than traditional investments like stocks, bonds, and real estate. However, it is also important to lo
ok further than just making a decision to buy Gold and Silver.  Even within the Precious Metals complex there are some areas that offer far more value than others. In this section we are going to focus on the three areas that seem to be the most undervalued.

Even though Gold and Silver are down significantly over the last two years, a longer term outlook shows something entirely different. Since 2004 Gold is still up more than 200% and Silver is up about 225%. Compare this to the Dow Jones that is up just 55% since 2004 or the S&P 500 which is up about 60% during the same timeframe.

(See graphs above and below)

Most Undervalued Items for 2014

   Best Buy #1 – Silver:  At current levels Silver could double in value and it still wouldn’t be trading at the highs seen in 2011. In 2014, our advice would be to acquire Silver in bulk. What kind of Silver that you purchase isn’t nearly as important as getting it in the first place. We are recommending clients purchase anything that isn’t nailed down – bars, rounds, and coins – whatever the type. 

   However, modern Silver coins with limited mintages appear to offer even better value than Silver itself. Coins like the Canadian Timberwolves and Hawaiian Volcano from the America the Beautiful series doubled in price during a time when Silver prices were falling.

   Had you taken our advice when these coins were originally released you could now double your holdings of Silver just by sending it in on trade. A single Canadian Timberwolf can purchase two ordinary Silver Maples while a 5 Ounce Hawaiian Volcano is worth about 10 ounces in ordinary Silver Eagles.

 Best Buy #2 – Pre-1933 Investment Grade U.S. Gold: During Gold’s pullback of 35%, many Pre-1933 certified coins fell by even more. Coins like these generally will outperform Gold both to the upside and downside. What this means is that if Gold falls these coins sometimes will fall more than Gold itself and on the upside coins like these will likely appreciate more than the gains seen in ordinary Gold. What this has created in the current environment are areas that seem to be severely undervalued at current levels. In our opinion the best opportunities in 2014 in the Pre-1933 Gold arena are as follows:

$10 Liberty MS-64 – Currently these can be obtained for about $1,550 per coin. However, in 2009, with Gold at similar levels as it is today, they were trading for more than $3,100 ea. This has set up a scenario where $10 Liberties in MS-64 could double in value and still only be trading at the price that they were in 2009.

 $10 Indians MS-64 – These are currently trading for about $1,500 per coin but in 2009 they were selling for $3,200 a piece! Another great opportunity to double in value without setting not only all-time highs but recent highs.

$20 Liberty MS-64 – Currently $20 Libs in MS-64 can be obtained for about $2,200, however, they were selling for $4,400 per coin in 2009 with Gold at similar levels to where it is today. If $20 Liberties in MS-64 were to double in price, they would only equal levels seen in 2009.

Best Buy #3 Rare Ancient Coins & Rare U.S. Coins Few people are able to grasp the value of owning rare antiquities like Rare Ancient and U.S. Coins. Over the long-term, investing in these areas has shown steady appreciation. For decades they have outperformed stocks, bonds, even Gold and Silver. Yet, even with a history of producing stellar long-term returns, only a small
percentage of our clients have been able to recognize their true potential as most people over the last several years have focused almost entirely on Gold and Silver bullion. Rare Coins & Ancients add diversity to your Precious Metals portfolio as they are often immune to the price movements seen in Gold and Silver, while collecting Rare Coins is widely recognized as a very rewarding hobby. 

Consider This – Nearly all of the Ancient Coins circulating within the United States have been here since the 70s.  Coins like these are now considered national treasures in the originating country from which they were discovered and today few, if any, are ever allowed to leave. What this creates is a situation where supply is static but demand is increasing. The result is higher prices and greater rewards for those with the patience and forethought to put them aside while they are still available.

Take Notice – The Red Book: A Guidebook of U.S. Coins is a publication that documents every coin that the United States has ever produced and their current values. As part of their research they started including in 2005 a list of the top 250 Rare Coins that have sold publicly.  In 2005, the list included ten coins that had sold for more than $1 Million and the smallest coin on the list (#250) had brought $138,000. As of the most recent listing in 2013 there were an amazing 45 coins that have sold for over $1 Million and the last on the list brought $374,000.  These numbers represent a market that is growing by leaps and bounds.

Take it or Leave it?

   Market euphoria begets short memories. It causes investors to forget the one economic law that should be the primary focus of any investment strategy – value. Where value is and where value isn’t, what is overvalued, what is undervalued are questions that often fall by the wayside when sentiment is tilted heavily in one direction or the other. At the moment sentiment is shifted heavily towards stocks, however, the herd is almost never right and we expect big changes in 2014.

    In this update we hope you have learned that stocks, bonds and real estate seem to be the most overvalued investments anywhere in the world while Gold and Silver offer tremendous upside at current levels. Furthermore, the specific areas that we have pointed out above seem to offer even more upside than Gold and Silver which makes them possibly the most undervalued assets anywhere.  At the end of the day it comes down to a simple question.

   Would you rather purchase assets that are trading at all-time highs or assets that could double in value and still not be at the levels they were trading at in recent history? The answer to this question is an easy one.

   Do yourself a favor and contact one of our experienced Gold & Silver Specialists today. We offer unique one-on-one consultation with clients just like you and we can help answer any questions that you may have. We are currently assembling diversified portfolios consisting of carefully selected coins that will include each area that we documented.

Celebrate the Birth of Prince George with a Special Price on Original King George Gold Sovereigns!

JUL 26, 2013

Austin Rare Coins & Bullion 

With all the media coverage about the birth of Prince George, what better way to celebrate than by offering historic and authentic British Sovereign King George’s that have been preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

Each of these original Gold Sovereigns depict King George the fifth on the obverse, Prince George’s great, great, grandfather who shares his same name. King George V was born in 1865 and ruled the Kingdom from 1910 until his death in 1936. He oversaw British forces as they were victorious over Germany during World War I. He was the grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the first cousin of Tsar Nicholas of Russia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. King George V was also the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth. During his rule he witnessed a changing societal landscape in which he began to notice socialism, communism, and fascism become a growing force around him.

Take Advantage of Special Pricing
For a limited time and to honor the birth of Prince George, we are slashing prices on our already low priced King George British Sovereigns to just $355 per coin. At this particular price point, we are offering them at a minimum of $10 per coin off of our website pricing. Because the King George Sovereign is a fractional coin, this equates to a savings of $42 per ounce. Paying by check or bank wire? Even better. With an additional 2% discount the price drops down $25 per coin which is over an $80 per ounce savings from our regular pricing!

Each British Sovereign contains .2354/oz. of fine Gold making them ideal for barter or emergency situations. Because of the dates minted, they offer protection from government intervention not found with modern bullion. They are also private and non-reportable when it’s time for you to liquidate.

Gold Coiled Like a Spring, Ready for a Big Bounce Back
We think that the coming months could prove to be fantastic for precious metals and those who own them. Many analysts say that the next phase in the bull market could be the most spectacular since 2001 when Gold was just $250 per ounce. Some are even referring to this anticipated surge as the “bubble” or “mania” phase, where prices could rise to levels that today would seem absurd.

Three Ways to Buy the Dip

Austin Rare Coins & Bullion |

The stock market sell-off has echoed around the globe in recent weeks. As we saw back in 2008, these losses can carry over into the precious metals complex, as a result of forced-selling in paper markets (ETF’s and futures) by institutional investors.

For the record, we have not witnessed any mass-selling of physical precious metals by our customers, in fact, buyers have outnumbered sellers considerably. We saw the same scenario develop in 2008, just before Gold and Silver made historic runs to all-time highs. Many of these moves have been triggered by a stronger U.S. Dollar… but does this really make sense? Stronger in comparison to what, exactly?
We view this short-term correction as a fantastic opportunity to start or add to your current positions. Here are a few reasons we have this outlook:

• Experts estimate a cost of $1200-$1300 to extract an ounce of Gold from the ground, and around $14 for Silver.
• U.S. debt continues to grow an average of four billion dollars each and every day.
• Global debt is at never before seen levels and rising.
• World mints are simply unable to meet current investor demand.
• Central Banks around the world continue to buy Gold by the ton.

Let’s face it, the fundamentals for precious metals are stronger than ever. Just because something trades for a certain price on a certain day, that may not be what it is really worth. Look at this pullback as an opportunity to go back in time and strengthen your position.

Here are a few great Gold and Silver products you should consider at these levels:

2013 Five Ounce America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins:



• The two newest issues are in-stock!
• Every year the mintages get smaller and smaller.
• Choose either the White Mountain from New Hampshire or the Perry’s Victory from Ohio.
• Five ounce coins have brought over $175 per coin this year!
• Orders of 10 come in original mint tubes.

Brilliant Uncirculated Swiss 20 Francs:

• These small sized Gold Coins offer an excellent value for private Gold.
• Have sold for over $350 each this year!
• For larger orders, call for quantity discounts!

Lowest Price of the Year on Silver Kilo Koalas!

Silver in Extremely Short Supply  If you've tried to buy Silver over the past few days, then you know exactly what's going on.  In stark contrast to futures or ETF prices, everybody is paying huge premiums for physical Silver right now. There are severe delays building on items like American Eagle Silver Dollars. Even with the spot price in the $23 range, they're $30 a coin. Why? Because everyone is waiting on the U.S. Mint to supply them. None of our clients are selling, that's for certain. Silver: The Latest "Rare" Coins  Without a doubt this has been the busiest week for our industry since the stock market crash of 2008. For the record, there are approximately 49 buyers for every seller and over the past few days dealer inventories have been decimated. Orders are being covered of course, but the delays are growing, which has lead to premium increases across the board.   The Kilogram Silver Koala Coin from the Perth Mint contains 32.15 ounces of pure Silver and comes in a clear protective capsule.  We have just secured 200 beautiful and hefty 2013 Australian Koala Silver Kilo Coins for quick delivery! We can offer each Kilo Coin for $869 any quantity. Each coin contains 32.15 ounces of pure Silver and are some of the most impressive bullion coins available. We expect them to sell out immediately. At $869 per coin ($854 with a check/wire) it works out to $27 per ounce, so they're a solid value and the perfect way to take advantage of current prices.       If you are looking to secure a larger order of Silver or something different, take action now by calling us at 1-800-928-6468. We can cover trades but premiums are changing quickly and supplies are tightening by the day.  Thank you as always for your business.      Ryan Denby President and CEO P.S. Prices are only available while supplies last, so act now.     Copyright © 2013.

It’s Time for a Reality Check

Austin Rare Coins & Bullion

The current situation in the physical Silver market paints a much different picture than what the recent price action is telling us, sowe want to let you know what’s really going on.

Since October, Silver prices have fallen from $34.97 to $28 an ounce today, a 20% correction. One may be led to believe that the bull run is losing steam. However, if you take a close look behind the scenes at the realities of the physical Silver market, there is a much different story to tell.

This 5-Year Silver Chart doesn't coincide with the record demand for Silver Bullion particularly in recent months.

To fully understand the current scenario it’s important to look back to 2008, the last time that the dislocation between paper and physical Silver was so severe. Silver pulled back from $22 to $9 per ounce – a 65% drop. At the time, many uninformed investors thought the bull market in Silver was also over – were they ever wrong.

The U.S. Mint is on pace for a record year in Silver Eagle production.

2013 Looking Like 2008 All Over Again
With the recent price correction, you may think that demand is down and supplies are abundant. In reality, there are industry-wide delays across numerous mainstay products. The U.S. Mint is being forced to allocate Silver Eagles, limiting how many can be purchased each week per dealer. Even though the Mint is on pace to produce nearly 60 Million Silver Eagles this year, which is an all-time record, they are still unable to keep up with demand. In fact, the United States Mint produced more coins in the first quarter of 2013, than they did in the entire years of 1996, 1997, and 1998 COMBINED!

In a free market, where supply and demand determine price, one might imagine if prices are falling like they were in 2008, that the market would be flush with Silver, premiums would be low, U.S. Mint Silver Eagle sales would be languishing, and products would be available for immediate delivery. That wasn’t the case in 2008 and it isn’t the case today. In fact, we are seeing multi-week delays and rising premiums on Silver Eagles, 90% “junk” Silver bags, and 100 ounce Silver Bars. What does that tell you?

It is these dislocations between the physical market and paper markets that signal big price increases on the horizon. If in 2008, one would have bought into the premise that the bull market in Silver was finished, they would have missed out on a 500% price explosion.

Watch Austin Rare Coins & Bullion sales manager Gabe Elton explain the silver shortage.

The Silver Bull Market: Investing in the Other Gold
Author and fund manager Shayne McGuire just released his new book on Silver – The Silver Bull Market: Investing in the Other Gold. For those of you who read Shayne’s first two books and invested accordingly, we are sure you have reaped the rewards of following his advice. We expect this book to be no different.

In “The Silver Bull Market”, Shayne describes the 13 key drivers of Silver in today’s world. He also explains that funds like his are extremely under weighted to the best performing assets of the last decade: Gold & Silver. If you really want the best “reality check” money can buy, then order his book here!

Take Advantage of The Dislocation
A falling Silver price should not coincide with exploding sales of Silver Eagles and long delays during a time when the U.S. Mint is on pace to produce more Silver Eagles than they ever have in their 29 year history. It also doesn’t correspond with having to wait nearly a month to acquire something as common as Pre-65 quarters and dimes.

It is during dislocations like this when fortunes can be made. Don’t let the price discourage you. The physical Silver market in 2013 is eerily similar to the one witnessed in 2008- falling prices during a time of exploding demand. The two scenarios just don’t add up. Our advice is to take advantage of this opportunity while it still presents itself.

We have listed four of our top recommendations so you can acquire physical Silver while it is still readily available. If this plays out like we think it will, you will find yourself extremely grateful for heeding this advice. All orders of 50 ounces or more will receive a free copy of Shayne McGuire’s new book!
