As silver has fallen to under $19.00 per ounce I am noticing the demise of smaller coin shops in the area. A large one - Tulving Company in California - went bankrupt in March. The premium on gold and silver will probably need to rise as dealers attempt to make some profit on inventories bought at previous higher prices. How low will silver go? Will the 12 ounce $200 strike return? I really think there is a slight possibility. But I hope not. A $300 one pounder may be a real possibility. for what is worth, George L
