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:

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!

Incredible Matching 1836 Classic Head Gold Set

1836 P $2 1/2 Classic Head Gold Coin MS-63 PCGS

More Photos

Beautiful and pristine Classic Head quarter eagle certified in choice mint state condition.  It’s hard to imagine how this coin could have survived the past 180 years in such a fine state of preservation.

It is our opinion that Classic Head Gold is quite undervalued at current levels.  The opportunity to own them in the higher mint state grades doesn’t come along often.  This would make a fantastic pair to the 1836 $5 we acquired, giving the owner of both coins a complete set of 1836 U.S. Gold!

1836 P $5 Classic Head Gold Coin MS-63 PCGS 

More Photos

Highly unusual to see Classic Head $5’s in such a high state of preservation.  Remember, in 1836 the only denominations of Gold produced were $2 ½’s and $5’s.  Because of this, both denominations  were heavily circulated and this most often encountered in XF-AU grades. 

This is a perfect match to the 1836 $2 ½ we currently own, also in MS-63, and would give the owner a complete date set of 1836 Gold in MS-63 condition!

    We’re Wild About Walkers!

NOV 29, 2012

Austin Rare Coins & Bullion

Walking Liberty Half Dollars, struck from 1916 to 1947, are undergoing a major rediscovery by collectors and investors alike. These Walking Liberties, also known as Walkers, are typically encountered today in a very worn, circulated condition as they were used extensively in commerce during the early 1900′s. You may notice that the obverse design on these coins is the same one employed on current Silver Eagles. As such, they are very desirable when encountered in gem quality.

Based on our latest research, high grade examples seem incredibly undervalued at current levels. When compared to other issues from the same time period, such as Morgan Silver Dollars, one thing that stands out is very few coins have achieved the lofty grade of superb gem MS-66. At the latest coin show in Baltimore, we acquired several hundred Walkers graded by NGC or PCGS in MS-66 condition. We think they were an incredible buy and we are recommending them without hesitation at current levels.

While supplies last, we are offering the following:

1) NGC/PCGS MS-66 Walker for $209

2) 5 Coin Set with different dates or mintmarks for $1,045

3) 10 Coin Set with different dates or mintmarks for $2,090

4) Box of 20 coins for $205 each or $4,100
$4 off per coin, free NGC/PCGS box-save $80

Click here to order online or call 1-800-928-6468 as we expect to sell out quickly!

Why Are They Undervalued?

Here are the facts: Over 5 million Morgan Silver Dollars have been graded by PCGS or NGC combined. In the high grade of Mint State-66, over 146,000 coins exist with around 24,000 known in higher grades. An MS-66 Morgan today sells readily for around $350 per coin.

Walkers are a much different story: Only 550,000 coins have been certified in all grades combined. A mere 67,000 exist in Mint State-66 with only 8,000 coins known finer. So you see, Walkers in MS-66 are 2.5 times more scarce than Morgan Silver Dollars in MS-66 for significantly less!

Based on these figures, MS-66 Walkers appear to be very inexpensive at the moment and there is simply NO supply overhang anywhere-this is exactly why we acquired the whole lot. The numbers speak for themselves and their eye appeal, quality and rarity is amazing. Also, they are temporarily undervalued based on where they have been trading for the past several years on a wholesale level. Dealers have readily been paying over $200 for Mint-State 66 Walkers, when they could find them. In fact, we have never located a large enough cache before to offer our entire client base.
