Bullion Coin Sales

US Bullion Coins & SalesUS Mint bullion coin sales figures popped during the last seven days, with American Silver Eagles posting particularly strong numbers that haven’t been seen in some time.

More than 1.3 million were sold since last Monday, bringing the yearly total up to 23,406,500. Further, last month figures are now finalized and it was the best October ever for the silver series that kicked off in 1986. Best ever months have been somewhat common for the coins this year, with seven others earning the title. The two that didn’t, Jan. and Sept., came in second.

American Buffalo Gold coins continue to move. Since they went on sale Oct. 15, a total of 116,500 have left US Mint doors. Another 30,500 were scooped up in the last seven days alone. At the current pace, 2009 will be a record year for the coins despite their late release.

American Gold Eagles stood out as well, with 39,000 gone in the last seven days. The eagles had their 5th best October ever, and tied September sales with 115,500. 1,069,500 have been sold this year.

US Bullion Coins & SalesThe demand for US Mint gold and silver bullion coins retreated during the prior seven days, according to new US Mint stats.

American Silver Eagles figures have remained the same, at 1,625,00 for the month, since Oct. 20.

The last update for American Buffalo Gold and American Eagle Gold coins was a day later, or Oct. 21.

There is the possibility that the US Mint has not updated their public numbers, but that would be atypical of recent months when daily or nearly daily changes occurred.

US Bullion Coins & SalesFor the first time this year, 2009 Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins are now being sold by the US Mint and sales figures for their first couple of days are exceptionally strong.

The one-ounce Buffalos were released Thursday, Oct. 15. As of Monday, Oct. 19, a total of 71,500 have been sold. In those few days, more left US Mint inventory than the 63,500 American Gold Eagles sold since Oct. 1. Investors and collectors were obviously waiting for the 24-karat gold coins.

On the silver side equation, bullion Silver Eagles took off during the last seven days. 918,000 more were sold compared to the prior seven day tally of 350,000.

US Bullion Coins & SalesPerhaps the biggest coin news of the year unfolded last week when the United States Mint announced it had canceled several collector and bullion 2009 eagles, but that it will release 2009 American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins on Oct. 15, and fractional 2009 American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins on Dec. 3. The fractional gold sizes include one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights.

On the cancellation side of the picture, there will not be any 2009 American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins, although the one-ounce collector proof version will be minted and is set for release on Oct. 29.

The Mint provided little details as to their reasons, with the exception of the canceled collector coins. It stated: [click to continue…]

US Bullion Coins & SalesAmerican Eagles sales figures have been finalized for last month with Gold Eagles registered their 3rd best September ever with 115,500 and Silver Eagles marking their 2nd best September with 1,703,000.

September also has the distinction as the worst month of 2009 for Silver Eagles, but prior months have been historically impressive. There is already a new record in place highlighting just how strong demand has been for the year. Silver Eagle sales have passed 2008’s annual record total of 19,583,500. With nearly three months left in 2009, an already amazing 20,724,500 have been sold.

In other news, the pace of Gold Eagles picked up during the last seven days. 26,500 were added compared to the previous week’s 20,000 increase.

US Bullion Coins & SalesAmerican Silver Eagles passed a huge milestone Friday, topping an impressive 20,000,000 sold. More than likely, by next week’s time the eagles will record an all-time yearly high that reaches back to the series start in 1986. And that’s with a few months left in the year.

American Gold Eagles are still moving exceptional well compared to the last two months, although new weekly orders were down slightly from the last report. The gold coins jumped up another 20,000 versus the prior 24,000. Year-to-date sales for 2009 are at 945,000.

US Bullion Coins & SalesBullion Gold Eagles had a solid third week in September. Sales are on a pace to register as one of the better months in 2009.

The United States Mint sold another 24,000 of the gold coins during the last seven days to bring the monthly total up to 86,500. That is already higher than sales during August or July. Year-to-date figures stand at 925,000, which is more ounces of the Gold Eagles sold than all off 2008.

2009 Silver Eagles should top 20,000,000 this week or early next. 460,000 more were sold since last Monday for a new yearly tally of 19,824,500.

US Bullion Coins & SalesGold Eagles are ahead of the recent monthly pace while Silver Eagles are crawling.

Both seemed to have gotten off to a slow start for the month, as the US Mint only posted the first September figures on the 9th (there was a three-day holiday in the mix).

But then the Gold Eagles jumped, and fast. With just 14 days into the month, a total of 62,500 have moved. The entire months of July and August each tallied 86,000 and 82,000, respectively. Of course in those months gold didn’t head up and then over the $1,000 an ounce level like it did last week.

Silver Eagles seem to be struggling and sleeping. The US Mint sold 600,000 so far this month. That’s not even near half of the 2,130,000 sold in August and even further behind July’s 2,810,000.

US Bullion Coins & SalesBullion Silver Eagles surged during the final seven days of August while Gold Eagle sales remained level with the prior week, the latest US Mint figures indicate.

Silver Eagles jumped 775,000 compared to the prior seven day rise of 475,000. The increase was the largest Monday to Monday tally in August. The eagles have reached an impressive 18,764,50.

Gold Eagles remained level with a same 25,000 increase. For the year, the bullion gold coins are at 838,500.

While the US Mint has not officially closed out August, that should happen Tuesday with September numbers flowing. All indication, however, are that the totals for both silver and gold eagles are final up through August.
