Yes, prices are going up, also because of crazy premiums - 5-7$ per 1 oz coin is nothing special now. And the "cheap" coins are not in stock, it can be weeks to get them. And some dealers are trying to rip off customers who want to sell: they buy 10-12 dollars under their own sales price, for the the standard 1 oz coins. But selling now is stupid anyway - I think the big rise is near for the metals.
