On 1/1/26 WA instituted a tax on gold bullion sales so gold will be cheaper if purchased out of state. I think you have to physically do the purchase and not o online. Don't know if it applies to silver or other precious metal bullion.

Its convenient,, the timing of Washington States new tax on Bullion.. I do not know the details accept that Jewlrey is exempt...

I also know that the bullion banks are in the process of being drained over the weekend,,,

Look for a counter move in Silver for the attack on Venezuela and capture of Maduro,, atleast optically anyways... The US just captured territory to displace Chinese and Russian Influence in their backyard...
Russia and China both have forward Air and Missile bases in Venezuela...

The FED can [Bleeeeep!] with the paper Silver price for a while,, keep it down while their friends acquire the physical,, to keep it out of your hands... Right now the price in Japan/China is $130,, that is the price if you want to hold it in your hand and put it in your pocket... So before long it will be not available here in the United States at all unless the price goes way higher than it is today...

China also has control over the largest Silver stockpile in the world,, and not by a little...
