SilverDoctors.com is undergoing scheduled maintenance over the weekend. Due to the surge in silver prices and the rising popularity of the website, we are upgrading our servers to handle present and future website demand. The Doc will continue to post articles throughout the weekend and we expect actual website downtime to be very minimal.
Please also note SD Bullion will be closed on Monday, but will re-open at it’s normal time on Tuesday morning (9:30 a.m. E.S.T). For those individuals who have been keeping track of SD Bullion sales as a barometer of market sentiment, SD Bullion saw a huge surge of demand (record ounces sold) come in at the $28-$30 mark. A number of the transactions were particularly large in nature with a few transactions pushing the 7 figure mark and above. Overall, sales were very strong for the month of August and for the first part of September. As one would expect, the last two days have been relatively slow, as individuals become acclimated to a new world of QE to infinity. We expect this acclimation process to be resolved quickly as the printing presses are kicked into high gear and prices (in our personal opinion) continue to rise.
Thank you to all SD Readers for your continued support, consideration of purchasing your bullion from SD Bullion, and contribution to the site. We ask for your patience this weekend as we move to upgraded servers.

Congrats on the success of the website and SD Bullion! I’ve referred friends and family to SD Bullion because it has great low premiums. Places like APMEX were great years ago when they were smaller, but now their premiums are off the charts now and they really don’t care about us little guys anymore… even the people making 6-figure transaction sizes are being run out by their staff. SD Bullion, you’ve been great so far. I look forward to continuing business over the coming months and years.
The bullion sales are only half the story. The other half is the discussions and feedback made by people on the site. I followed the Turd before he bought his own domain to host his blog on, but now his site is cluttered with stupid and silly posts and tons of unrelated “first post” childishness. ZeroHedge has been great, but sometimes gets a little off topic and silly… I still love ZH, but I’m also really loving the contributors here on SD. Thank you to all those who post, you’re making this site an awesome place to visit daily.
@saddle – thanks much for your contributions to SD, and especially for your recommendations of SD Bullion. We are still an extremely small business so we can use all the word of mouth recommendations we can get as we aren’t spending a dime on advertising, much less millions every month like APMEX or the other big boys. The whole reason we started SD Bullion was to allow our readers an opportunity to acquire PM’s at wholesale like prices as well as provide a small revenue stream to allow us to continue operations at SilverDoctors without begging for donations and worrying about what advertisers want us to publish/promote.
Thanks to your and all of the SD contributors thoughts and contributions to this community…it wouldn’t be the same without you!

So that’s why I had difficulties today when I wanted to access the website. I really want to buy something from SD Bullion for the website support but it’ll take me too long for me to wait and buy at least a minimum of 40 ounces of silver plus 3% debit charge and shipping. Although, I think that shipping won’t be so bad since last time I received something from SD, it cost 3.30$ for a big package that weighted about 3 troy ounces including the package. Anyway, one day I’ll try to buy from SD Bullion when the time comes and I think that the 90% junk silvers are a very good deal with the fees, over spot and shipping because here in Canada, American junk silvers have a very high premiums plus taxes!
Thanks for the feedback @Sumkid!
