There is growing fear of resumption of soaring consumer prices, especially prompted by higher oil prices. China last month imported its highest quantities of coin since March.

That resulted in the Standard & Poors 500 Index falling more than -1% today and the NASDAQ declined -2.6%. As people fled stocks they shifted to bonds. The US Treasury 10-year interest rate yield fell below 5% to 4.96%, the first time it was below 5% since September 22. The US Dollar Index a couple minutes ago was 101.60, lower than it has closed since October 1.

Of course, in this market, precious metals prices were also clobbered today. At the COMEX close, gold fell to $4,024.25, silver dropped to its low close of the year at $54.62, platinum sank to $1,568.00, and palladium dipped to $1,058.00.

As of a couple minutes ago, if Liberty Coin Service were open, here were the bid and ask spot prices at which we would have calculated our buy and sell prices on physical precious metals products:

Gold: bid spot price $4,026.50/ask spot price $4,030.50
Silver: $54.46/$54.66
Platinum: $1,564.00/$1,574.00
Palladium: $1,042.00/$1,062.00

Liberty Coin Service will be open tomorrow normal hours 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern.

Go to the Numismatic News website to read this week's column, titled "Should US Nickel Production Be Ended?"

With the metal value of current nickels about 7-1/2 cents each and a cost of more than 10 cents each when you add labor and overhead, the Mint lost more than $50 million for 2025 productions. It either needs to change to a cheaper metal content (aluminum?) or cease production.

What do you think?

One exciting offer in last week's Liberty's Outlook newsletter are Franklin Half Dollars certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Company as Brilliant Uncirculated condition where the holder also contains some genuine shavings from the Liberty Bell wood yoke.

Back in the 1960s, the wood yoke was rehabilitated, where those working on it preserved the wood shavings removed from this piece of history. Now, while our supply of 63 pieces lasts, you can own this historic treasure.

Best of all, Liberty Coin Service is offering them for just $95 apiece, which is lower than we see them offered elsewhere.

Several pieces have already sold and we expect a complete sellout.
Don't delay for this opportunity to hold American history in your hands.

Go to the Numismatic News website to read this week's column titled "The Future For US 90% Silver Coins."

From when production of circulating US 90% Silver Coins ended after 1964 to about the next two decades, they were the dominant form of bullion-priced physical silver that was traded. Then the supplies of pure 1, 10, kilo and 100 ounce pure silver bars and then 1 ounce pure silver coins took up large shares of this trade.

Yet, today there is an opportunity for those looking to purchase bullion-priced physical silver to protect their finances to take an advantage of the discounted prices at which your can purchase US 90% Silver coins versus the pure ingots and coins.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly inflation reports this week are horrible news for the declining purchasing power of the US dollar.

First off was the Consumer Price Index where the unadjusted increase in prices for the 12 months ended September 2026 rose to +3.7%. The "adjusted" rise in September was the highest in five months.

Then the Producer Price Index, an indication of where future consumer prices are headed, showed the unadjusted increase in final demand prices for the 12 months ended September 2026 was +6.3%. This was the highest annual increase since Biden was president.

Today the Import and Export Price Indexes report showed that import prices for the 12 months ended September 2026 increased +8.1%. This also signals what to expect to happen to consumer prices in the near future. As for export prices, they rose for the 12 months ended September 2026 by +11.6%. Along with a temporarily strong US dollar, that signals a coming decline in American exports, which means a coming loss of American jobs to create those goods and services.

Reports like these will reinforce public awareness about the coming weakness in the purchasing power of the US dollar.
