US Mint bullion coin sales picked up for both gold and silver American Eagles.
Since Monday, Aug. 10, the Mint has sold 500,000 more silver eagles. That compares to the 380,000 added during the prior seven days. The total for 2009 is now at 17,514,500.
In contrast, 18,000 more gold eagles have been scooped up since last Monday versus the previous 14,000 increase. 788,500 have been sold to date.

Despite a reduction in US bullion coin demand in the last seven days compared to the prior week, American Silver Eagles have topped a new milestone of more than 17 million sold in 2009.
Sales of the silver eagles did rise by 380,000, but that is actually less than the 485,000 increase seen during the prior reporting period.
American Gold Eagle figures declined as well, increasing 14,000 from the previous 26,000. For 2009, a total of 770,500 have been sold.

American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins closed out with differing performances. For July, gold eagle sales registered toward the bottom of the monthly ladder. Silver eagles were one rung from the top. Both bullion coins are on track to have an exceptionally impressive year.
The US Mint sold 86,000 one-ounce gold eagles in July. Only May had fewer sales. On the other hand, buyers purchased 2.81 million silver eagles in July to make it the second best month of the year, right behind March.
While last month may have been slower for the gold coins, the yearly tally of 756,500 is on pace for a record year. More so for silver eagles. 16,634,500 have rushed out of the Mint’s inventory this year. It seems most certain that last year’s record of more than 20 million sold will be shattered.
As far as weekly numbers, both silver and gold eagles compared better than the prior week. The former upped by 485,000 over the previous 450,000. Gold eagles surged by 26,000 from the prior 4,000.

Bullion coin sales increased all around during the last seven days, as American Eagle Silver Coins jumped toward 15 million for the year and the American Eagle Gold Coins hit an even 700,000.
The gains were better than those from the prior week, although sales had likely been affected then by the extended 4th of July weekend.
Silver eagles are blazing forward. Sales surged by 800,000 compared to the prior week’s impressive 575,000 jump. Gold eagles improved by 17,500, which was better than the previous 15,000 tally. [click to continue…]

American Eagle Gold and Silver bullion coins dipped in sales for a second straight week. However, June totals for each have already surpassed respective eagle sales in January and May. And there is still a potential for them to pass those from February by the end of business on Tuesday.
Silver eagles jumped up by 175,000 for a total of more than 13.5 million sold. Gold eagles increased by 20,000 to 667,500.
Remember that the US Mint sells bullion coins, which are the non collector versions, only to its authorized purchasers who then sell to dealers and/or directly to the public. With that, some give and take and delay should be placed into the equation for judging “today’s demand” for these coins when having only Mint numbers at hand.

Sales of American Eagle Silver and Gold bullion coins stepped back last week compared to the week prior, US Mint sales figures reveal.
During the second week of June, silver and gold eagles surged 8.1 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively. Last week sales were strong, but down to week-over-week increases of 3.3 percent and 4.1 percent.
No doubt the biggest news coming out of the Mint in recent months was last week’s announcement that it would no longer allocate bullion coins, indicating demand has declined sufficiently for it to meet any order. For an update on the story, read the CoinNews article Mint Bullion Allocation Ends or the Silver Coins Today article Mint Ends Silver Eagle Rationing.

The latest US Mint sales figures reveal American Eagle Gold and Silver bullion coin demand has soared during the last several days.
The Mint’s authorized dealers ordered nearly 1 million silver eagles and over 50,000 gold eagles since Monday, June 8. That is an increase of 8.1 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively.
377,000 silver eagles were purchased during the first eight days in June. By last Wednesday (two days later) the tally more than doubled to 777,000 sold. The figure then jumped to 930,000 on Thursday and ended at 1,345,000 on Monday. The current pace will eclipse the 1.9 million eagles sold in May.
Gold eagles had their own weekly rally. On Monday, June 8, a total of 15,500 had sold for the month. The number jumped to 43,000 on Thursday and then to 67,500 by Monday.
