Silver Bullion - What is silver
confiscation?
Silver confiscation primarily refers to
government confiscation of silver from the public in general through various
means, direct and indirect, which constitutes a legalized form of theft. It is normally designed with the
primary aim of stealing that which constitutes real money and replacing it with worthless
non-redeemable paper notes in a process which is known as the “paper gimmick.”

Direct forms of silver confiscation historically came in the
form of laws passed which made direct confiscation of silver possible such as the confiscation of silver
in 1720 in France under the guidance of the legendary John Law. Be sure to read more about it here. On the other hand, the
indirect or virtual confiscation of silver goes hand in hand with deliberate attempts by government(s) to
severely limit the amount of silver available to the public through indirect means such as the following: Taxes
designed to discourage people from investing in or owning silver (e.g. taxes charged on silver sales or silver
purchases, etc.), limits on precious metals shipment values (e.g. a maximum amount of silver that can be shipped
in terms of its value, etc.), limits on the number of silver dealers (e.g. require license or some form of
certification), limits on mint sales, etc.
