Important Update from Franklin Coin Shop:
Due to historic market volatility in gold and silver, we are temporarily halting all purchases for the remainder of this week. We will resume our normal operations next week, February 2nd.
Over the past several months, gold and silver have experienced extraordinary price movements and sustained demand, levels not seen in decades. When precious metals move this fast and this far, it creates a ripple effect throughout the entire industry — far beyond what most people ever see.
Behind the scenes, this means:
• Wholesalers are overwhelmed with inbound material
• Refineries are experiencing extended processing and melt times
• Settlement and payment timelines have become significantly delayed
In simple terms: metal is moving faster than it can be processed, refined, and reimbursed
Rather than risk delays, uncertainty, or compromised service to our customers, we believe it’s the responsible choice to pause gold and silver purchases until the supply chain stabilizes and normal turnaround times return.
With that in mind, Franklin Coin Shop will be CLOSED for the remainder of this week as we complete internal inventory processing during this historic active market period.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued trust during this unprecedented moment in precious metals history. As always, our priority is transparency, fairness, and doing what’s best for our customers. We look forward to seeing you all next week.
