I just wanted to let you know I received my Maple Leaf Coin. It was flawless with a beautiful shine. So many people advertise uncirculated coins and usually they are not what is advertised. This coin was everything you said and more! I can't wait until next month.
To all the people on autoship, this is much better than getting a bottle of Tikitiki Juice and worth more money I would think.
Thanks! Irish Mike Leonard 1050"
John Richardson:
"Mike:
Thank you for your integrity. I have been taken a number of times on the Internet by different programs. I am glad to say XAGnetwork is great. I just received my 2nd coin today. The Canadian Maple Leaf is a fine piece of Silver. I look forward to receiving many more.
Thanks. John Richardson"
Jan-27-2012 : Silver Surpasses $33 on US Fed Statements
Silver prices have made gains over the past two trading sessions with prices now solidly over the $30 per ounce psychological resistance level.
The white metals gains are largely attributed to a weaker US
dollar, rising oil prices and the recent statements by the Federal
Reserve on interest rates and inflation. However, a key statement made
by the Fed which is being overlooked may be a bearish factor for
precious metal prices going forward.
On the day, spot silver traded up $0.20, to close at $33.47 per
ounce. Prices tested the $34 mark with a session high of nearly 33.80.
Wednesdays announcement by the Federal Reserve revealed that
interest rates would be kept at their current near zero level until at
late 2014. This loose fiscal policy has been the key argument of silver
and gold bugs.
Silver closes the year on a low note - closing December at $27.86 per ounce.

Jul-02-2010 : Record June for Silver Eagle Sales
Numbers for the United States Mint's bullion 2010 American Silver Eagles declined slightly from May but still tallied to their best ever June.
Numbers for the United States Mint's bullion 2010 American Silver Eagles declined slightly from May but still tallied to their best ever June.
Recently released figures from the U.S. Mint show a total of
3,001,000 One Ounce Silver Eagles sold in June 2010. This compares to a May 2010 total
of 3,636,500, or a decline of 635,500.
Normally, a more than half million downward push would raise
eyebrows. However, a more detailed look at the history of the Silver
Eagles show that in the past, a majority of the months did not even
come close to 635,500 in sales. A drop of that number is really only
indicative of how well the bullion silver coins are selling this year
--they were able to withstand such a decline and still rack up over 3
million in a single month.
In fact, June monthly sales ranked six all-time when looking at all
of the months since the eagles were introduced in 1986. It came in
behind December 1986, May 2010, January 2010, March 2010 and March 2009
-- in that order.
As indicated by the top six list, 2010 is doing extremely well. With
only half of the year completed, it already stands as the third best
year ever for the Silver Eagles with a total of 18,168,500 sold. It is
easily within striking distance of the number two spot currently held
by the year 2008 with 19,583,500, or only 1,415,000 more.

Jun-01-2010 : 2nd Highest Sales Month for Silver Eagles EVER!
The American Silver Eagles posted their best May and second best sales month in history, selling 3,636,500 coins in May!
The American Silver Eagles posted their best May and second best sales month in history.
In just the one month, buyers purchased an astonishing 3,636,500 of the one ounce .999 fine silver coins. This number smashes the old May record of 1,904,500 set last year.
May 2010 sales fell short of the best month ever by
only 59,500. December 1986 retains the title with 3,696,000. (it should be noted that
December 1986 bullion eagle numbers were lifted by the excitement of
their premiering worldwide release just days earlier)
2010 now includes three of the five best months ever for eagle coins, already firmly holding the third best annual sales at 15,167,500
??” and that with only five months completed this year. 2008??™s second
best annual level of 19,583,500 is easily within reach, but last year's record of almost 29 million is still in the distance.
May-21-2010 : Rare Silver Dollar sells for 7.85 million dollars
A 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar has been sold for $7,850,000, setting a new record as the worlds most valuable rare coin.
Graded PCGS Specimen-66, it is the finest known 1794 dollar and
believed by several prominent experts to be the first silver dollar
ever struck by the United States Mint.
The 1984 Stacks auction lot description in
the Carter Collection sale stated, "It is perfectly conceivable that
this coin was the very first 1794 Silver Dollar struck!" Over the decades, various numismatic researchers have stated a
similar belief including Walter Breen, Jack Collins, John Dannreuther,
David Hall and Logies who is author of the book, The Flowing Hair Silver Dollars of 1794.
A total of 1,758 silver dollars were recorded struck on a
hand-turned screw press at the Mint in Philadelphia on October 15,
1794, the only day of production for dollar coins that year. They were
made from silver provided by then Mint Director David Rittenhouse, and
intended to replace the Spanish, English, Dutch and French coins that
dominated local commerce and "pocket change" of the post-Colonial era.
Logies estimates there are only about 140 surviving examples, and the Neil/Carter/Contursi specimen is unique among them.
"It is the finest in state of preservation and unique for 1794 with a
silver plug. It is also unique in being from the earliest state of the
dies. Despite the almost barbaric conditions at the Mint at the time,
this coin was struck incredibly well.
In fact, when the coin is viewed in its natural state outside of its
PCGS holder, it blazes with a character all its own, showing off lovely
light toning atop supremely deep, watery mirrored fields and frosted
devices in black-and-white cameo contrast, not unlike late 19th century
proofs. It is certainly impressive and was clearly viewed as important
on the day it was made, the hallmark of a first strike," he stated.
In the year following his acquisition of the coin, Contursi made
arrangements with top numismatic researchers across the country to
personally see it and provide the evidence this specimen was the first
silver dollar struck by the United States. In addition, at the 2004 ANA
summer convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the coin was carefully
and briefly removed from its PCGS holder so it could be closely
examined by experts assembled there.
Known by collectors as the Flowing Hair variety of early U.S. silver
dollars, the obverse depicts 15 stars around the symbolic Miss Liberty
with long, flowing hair with the word, LIBERTY, above her and the date,
1794, below. On the reverse the words, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
surround an olive tree branch and a somewhat scrawny-looking eagle that
would be enhanced in subsequent designs starting in 1795.
May-12-2010 : Silver Goes Above $19!

Silver prices rose again during the month of April, rising 6.4%. The metal rallied late in the week after
retreating earlier despite soaring gold prices. Silver typically
follows gold.
Gold continued to be pushed as a safe-haven investment over
concerns of widening sovereign debt issues in Europe, those same issues
placed downward pressure on industrial metals like silver, platinum and
palladium. Despite that downward pressure, the London Silver Fix closed Friday to $18.620 an ounce, surging 73 cents or 4.1% for the week. It jumped $1.12 in April.
In coin related news, April sales figures for Silver American Eagle coins were in at just over 2.5 million - their second best April ever. The first 4 months sales for 2010 finished at over 11.5 million sales compared to 9.675 for the same period last year.
