The month of June started off reasonable strong for American Eagle sales. The US Mint moved more gold and silver bullion coins during week one compared to the final week of May.
In our prior two reports, the numbers were lopsided with gold and silver eagles splitting between good and humdrum sales. The latest US Mint figures show both bullion coins jumping with sales of silver eagles up 3.3 percent and gold eagles higher by 2.8 percent.
Gold prices moved swiftly higher until late last week, which likely helped the coins. But as always and for our weekly "disclaimer," given that the US Mint sells bullion coins only to authorized purchases who then sell to dealers or directly to the public, some give and take and delay should be placed into the equation for judging “today’s demand” when having only Mint numbers at hand.

The latest US Mint bullion coin sales figures show a reversal of sorts. In last week’s report, silver eagles sales showed a flat reading while gold eagles climbed. In this weeks numbers, gold eagles jumped by just 2,000 while silver eagles surged 302,500 higher.
May totals are now closed out. The month had some interesting developments. For the first month in many, Mint authorized dealers as a whole did not max out their allotted bullion coin orders. May also saw a huge spike in silver and gold prices — silver soared 27 percent while gold jumped 10 percent.
As always, given that the US Mint sells bullion coins only to authorized dealers who then sell to the public, some give and take and delay should be placed into the equation for judging “today’s demand” when having only Mint numbers at hand. Saying that, one could expect more movement in next week’s numbers given the latest surge in silver and gold prices.

Compared to prior US Mint sales figures, the Eagle Silver Bullion coin total was unchanged while Eagle Gold Bullion coins remained level with a sales increase matching last week’s report. 9,500 more were sold.
As always, given that the US Mint sells bullion coins only to authorized dealers who then sell to the public, some give and take and delay should be placed into the equation for judging “today’s demand” when having just Mint numbers at hand.
However, there appears to be a slowdown in sales for silver eagles, with dealers likely not taking their maximum allotted quantities and leaving the Mint with inventory — which would account for the silver eagle figures not changing in over a week.

The latest United States Mint sales figures show that Eagle Silver Bullion Coins are still selling strong, but that demand for eagle gold bullion coins appear to be declining.
On a percent basis, silver eagles remained unchanged with the same 5.3 percent increase over prior figures. An impressive 567,500 more silver eagles have been sold. If the pace continues, May could be the biggest month for the coins this year.
On the other hand, whereas 22,000 new eagle gold bullion coins were listed as sold in the prior report, the latest figures show an increase of 9,000. Unless things change, May figures will come in lower than those from April, March and probably February.
Of course and as always, given that the US Mint sells bullion coins only to authorized dealers who then sell to the public, some give and take and delay should be placed into the equation for judging “today’s demand” when having just Mint numbers at hand.

Demand for American Eagle gold and silver bullion coins is still strong, based on Monday data of US Mint reported sales. However, new sale totals are down just slightly from those reported on May 4.
Sales of silver eagles were up 5.3 percent while gold eagles improved by 4.3 percent. That compares to the prior 5.6 percent and 4.7 percent increases.

Last week silver and gold prices picked up. In fact, London spot silver surged 14.4%. While one can assume dealer inventories may be lower, and replacement orders may have been placed or could be on the way, the picture is simply incomplete without having access to dealer sales. Should gold and silver prices continue upward this week, however, it would not be surprising to see next week’s Mint bullion sales at their best for the month.

Gold and silver American Eagle bullion coin sales doubled up, based on the latest figures released Monday by the US Mint.
Total silver eagles sold jumped to 2,479,500 from 1,293,000 and gold eagles climbed from 73,500 to 147,000.
While the doubling showcases exceptional demand, the exactness of it would seem to imply more of a structural reporting or distribution process by the Mint. In other words, the numbers are not likely a true representation of demand over a fixed seven day period.
The figures to watch most closely in these reports are always the totals. And for silver eagles, the latest total is approaching record breaker status for 2009. The Mint may soon sell more bullion silver eagles in April than in any other month this year. The jury is till open as to how this month will end up for gold eagles. Currently, April sales trail the March total.

Sales of gold and silver American Eagle bullion coins shifted down significantly during the last several days, according to the very latest sales figures released Monday by the United States Mint.
At least part of the pullback is likely the result of precious metal declines throughout most of last week. (London gold lost 1.1 percent while silver dropped 2.6 percent.)
