Last week was a very mixed one for precious metals with gold and silver down, but some gains in the platinum group. The whole period was overshadowed by the accelerating crisis in Europe, where Greece became the first developed nation to default on an IMF loan and now looks likely to be pushed out of […]

Last week was another bad one for the precious metal sector. Every major metal fell sharply except platinum, with gold and silver both coming off the upward trend they’d been on for the previous couple of weeks and dropping back to where they were at the start of June. At the same time US equities […]
A quick and fast rule is that sterling silver is worth: Sterling Silver is Roughly 80-85% of Spot Silver Sterling silver is different from pure .999 fine silver in that it is actually an alloy metal that contains 92.5% silver with the remaining percentage an amalgam of other metals. The price that one would receive […]
Last week was a mixed one for the precious metals market, with gold and silver modestly up and the platinum group all down. There hasn’t been any change in demand from industry so it looks like the current unsettled global economy is driving up demand for silver and gold in their traditional role as safe […]
It’s been another bad week for precious metals, with only gold managing to avoid a fall in price. Why? Nobody’s really sure. The Dow Jones rose slightly overall but ended the week on a sharp downward slope; the FTSE 100 was similar. Oil isn’t going anywhere. US industrial demand is strong, and plenty of investors […]
This is an extremely common question that we receive here at Golden Eagle. Ultimately, the final test we use to determine if a piece of silver is real or not is running it through our Thermo Scientific XRF Metal Alloy Xray Analyzer. Obviously, since this machine is very expensive the majority of consumers won’t have […]

Last week was again disappointing for precious metals with significant falls right across the sector. Silver and some of the platinum group saw the heaviest losses but none of the key prices escaped, which is always disturbing – especially when there’s no rise in equity values to explain it.

Last week wasn’t a great one for precious metals, with all five of the main prices heading down. Gold and silver rallied midweek but in the platinum group that didn’t happen. This across the board downturn tied in with a drop in US share prices and revised quarter one growth figures that showed the American […]
Last week saw prices fall across the preciou smetals sector, with all the major benchmarks losing value except rhodium. It’s not all bad news though. Only palladium is below where it was two weeks ago, and then only fractionally. Most of the losses happened early in the week and by Wednesday prices were stabilizing, with […]
Many new investors and coin collectors believe that their one ounce silver coin is the same weight as one ounce of salami from the grocery store. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. In modern day society, everything around you that is weighed is more than likely measured in a system of weight known as avoirdupois. When […]
Coin collectors always have one eye on the bullion value of their coins and may also directly collect bullion in the form of gold, silver and platinum coins and bars.

The precious metals sector was confusing last week, with a mixed bag of performances and no clear pattern visible. The two big investment items, gold and silver, didn’t show a lot of movement. Neither did platinum, while palladium managed to rise. With the equities markets also rising quite strongly, propelled mostly by gains in defense […]

Once again there were disappointing results right across the precious metals sector last week, although the scale of losses varied. Overall it was a worrying period, because metals managed to lose ground even though the equities markets fell heavily. Normally we’d have expected to see metals make a lot of ground in these market conditions, […]
