The U.S. Mint obviously expects the price of silver to keep rising.

When I first learned that the U.S. Mint was selling one ounce silver coins for 169 dollars, I thought that it must be a mistake. So I went to the U.S. Mint’s official website, and sure enough the report that I had heard was accurate. Of course the U.S. Mint always sells their coins at a premium, but this is ridiculous.

Are they expecting the price of silver to blow way past the $100 mark in 2026?
