Silver Is Now a National Security Issue

 As a Result Prices Could Explode

On January 14, 2026, President Trump issued a White House Proclamation declaring 41 critical minerals — including silver — essential to national security. The proclamation explicitly acknowledges America's dangerous dependence on foreign sources for mining, processing, and shipping these materials. Here's where it gets interesting: The administration has instructed trade officials to "consider price floors for trade in critical minerals and other trade-restricting measures."

Silver Price Prediction 2026

Is silver the best investment of 2026? According to Alan Hibbard, the answer hasn’t changed since 2025: silver. After gaining 146% last year, silver may be entering an even stronger phase — fueled by tightening supply, growing government demand, and a monetary backdrop that favors scarce, real assets.

In 2024 we started using the new mint in Indiana to stamp and ship our silver rounds, after over 18 years with the previous mint in Utah.

The mint is now experiencing a larger volume of orders and has extended their production schedule up to six to eight weeks for new orders.

 We expect our volume to rise also, and that run has already started.

 Here are some of the things that are changing for the better for you, our customers.

1. The old 500 ounce minimum order is gone. The new minimum order is now 50 ounces. 

2. They will be very competitive in their price structure, and right now we are offering a price plan based on the volume of metal in each order. See below.

These will be shipped by UPS Ground, fully insured.

 We will still be accepting wire transfers, or cashiers checks like always. 

We can only lock an order after we have received the funds. Here is the formula we use to figure your price.

Go to this link on Kitco.com and look up the ask price of silver. 

https://www.kitco.com/price/precious-metals

It's in the first table on that page. 

The mint is closed Friday, through Sunday, so we can't lock an order on those days.

For a 60 oz. to 99 oz. order, take the ask price and add $5.00

For a 100 oz. to 199 oz. order, take the ask price and add $4.50. 

For a 200 oz. to 299 oz. order, take the ask price and add $4.25. 

For a 300 oz. to 999 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.75. 

All orders over 1000 ounces will be $3.50 over spot ask price.

Take that number times the number of ounces (50 or over) and then add $30.00 for each 60 to 99 ounce box for shipping, or for large orders add $50 per 500 ounce box for shipping.

Once we have your funds we will run this same formula to finalize the price with shipping.

Be sure to call us when you are ready to order so we can answer your questions.

When you call I will get your email address and send you the bank info for wire transfers or the mailing info for your payment. You can then reply with your shipping address for UPS.
