Collector coins from the US Mint again experienced mixed demand for the second straight week in June.
Although bullion Gold and Silver Eagles Sales Surged, UHR $20 coins declined by 122 compared to the prior numbers and First Spouse Gold coin numbers were simply sluggish — all eight coins suffered through weakened demand. The US Mint lowered gold coin prices on Wednesday, which should help going forward.
Demand for Guam quarters in bags and rolls retreated, but were still exceptionally high. The same is true for the Lincoln Rail Splitter penny and 2009 Proof Sets. Braille Silver Dollar sales picked up slightly.

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.
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.

US Mint collector coin sales were a mixed bag. Compared to the previous Mint figures, demand for gold coins generally declined while silver coins and sets improved — with the exception of the Braille Silver Dollars where totals actually shifted lower from prior numbers.
UHR $20 coins returned to their more normalized selling pace with 772 more sold. After an impressive week, five of the eight gold First Spouse coins suffered through lower sales.
Demand for Guam quarters in bags and rolls remained exceptionally high while Lincoln Rail Splitter Cent two-roll sets reached 250,577 sold.

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.

There were several products that stood out in the latest US Mint collector coin sales figures. Most talked about were the Guam quarters. The newest 2009 commemorative quarters was recently issued and the first week of their sales in bags and quarters were high. Mintage figures were also made available.
Collector gold coins have performed reasonable well of late. No doubt the climb in gold prices toward $1,000 an ounce had helped. Sales of UHR $20 and seven of the eight First Spouse Gold Coins were better than normal.
Sales of Lincoln Rail Splitter penny rolls have eased, but not subsided. Nearly 240,000 of the two-roll sets were sold in about two weeks.
Finally, demand for the silver 2009 quarter set also increased. The non silver proof set was recently released, which likely contributed to the gains.

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.

Still headlining most coin sales news articles last week was how well rolls of 2009 Lincoln cents were selling. Sales eased from the prior week, but are still exceptionally strong.
In news for quarters last week, the US Mint Ended Puerto Rico Quarter Sales while Guam Quarters went on sale Tuesday, May 26.
First Spouse Coins took a hit, with six of eight coins sliding into lower demand. The prior week had six of the eight gold pieces performing better. Braille Silver Dollars experienced a nice rise.

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.
