Claim 8: “Silwer 87.10”

SINGLE SOURCE

Only Netwerk24 provides the specific value of 87.10. Kitco reports a price of $80.36, which is different, but given the volatility of spot prices, it is treated as a single-source claim rather than definitively false unless the timeframes are identical.

SINGLE SOURCE

Only Netwerk24 provides the specific value of 1,499.71. Web search results show different values (1,484.4 and 1,505.50), but since commodity prices fluctuate by the second, these are not direct contradictions of a specific point-in-time quote.
