Top numismatic sellers in the most recent United States Mint coin sales figure report were once again sets and gold coins, but the biggest news was in silver bullion.
Silver Eagle bullion coins bulldozed beyond old records to set new all-time highs. Authorized U.S. Mint Purchasers picked up over one million coins in a week and moved the annual sales total beyond 31 million. The old sales record for the series was nearly 29 million. The latest increases gave 2010 Silver Eagles the all-time mintage record, previously held by the 2009 Silver Eagles.

The ending to October sales had some style, according to the latest United States Mint coin sales figures. Collectors purchased just enough to cause certain numismatic products to hit some milestones, starting with a golden sell out.

The individual ounce arrived at its product limit of 25,000 only three weeks after its debut, and the Mint’s standby or waiting list option is now in affect for it.
