READ:** 4 MIN // FIG 07: DESERT COIN TRADING, STERLING BARS & MORGAN SILVER STACKS VALLEY PRECIOUS METALS With precious metal prices on the rise and economic uncertainty intensifying, now is an opportune moment for Phoenix residents to sell their gold and silver coins. As of July 12, 2025, gold prices have surged to $3,354.76 per ounce, reflecting a 0.92% increase from the previous day and a remarkable **39.14% rise over the past year**. Silver has also seen a significant uptick, reaching $38.37 per ounce on July 11, 2025, with a 3.65% daily gain and a **24.68% increase year-over-year**. These trends, driven by persistent inflation and global trade tensions, are creating a seller’s market. At Lone Mountain Coin, we specialize in purchasing sought-after coins like American Silver Eagles, Krugerrands, and bullion, offering expert valuations that maximize your return. Here’s why this is the perfect time to act—and how we can help. TELEMETRY • SELLER'S MARKET MOMENTUM ✓ **Gold Spot Surge:** Multi-year highs over $3,350/oz represent prime liquidation levels for inherited jewelry & bullion. ✓ **Silver Outperformance:** Industrial green-energy demand combined with tight retail availability creates peak cash offers. ✓ **Immediate Settlement:** In-person testing in our North Scottsdale showroom with payment by cash, cashier's check, or bank wire. ## Rising Precious Metal Prices The current spike in gold and silver prices, with gold nearing all-time highs and silver hitting levels not seen since 2012, is fueled by heightened demand amid economic instability. Gold’s spot price of $3,354.76 and silver’s $38.37 per ounce reflect a robust market, bolstered by safe-haven buying and industrial demand for silver. For Phoenix collectors, this means the value of coins like the American Silver Eagle or South African Krugerrands in your collection could be at a peak. Selling now allows you to capitalize on these elevated prices before potential market corrections. ## Economic Uncertainty Ongoing inflation, recently reported at 2.4% in May with expectations of steady or slightly higher figures in the upcoming July 15 CPI release, continues to drive investors toward precious metals. Geopolitical tensions, including escalating trade wars, have further amplified this trend, pushing gold and silver prices higher. Phoenix residents holding inherited or accumulated collections can turn these assets into cash, providing financial flexibility during these uncertain times. Our expertise ensures you receive a fair, competitive offer based on the latest market conditions. ## Why Choose Lone Mountain Coin?
