Sales declined mostly for US Mint collector coins. UHR $20 gold coins did pick up, but only very slightly. 61,757 have no been sold, with an increase of 784 over the prior week.
Compared to the last report, the selling pace of Braille Commemoratives dropped significantly. New sales were down by more than 75 percent to just 4,617 compared the prior 20,306. The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is hoping 50,000 coins will be purchased from the US Mint while two Braille Silver Dollars are in space for 11 days. NFB will have a huge hurdle to overcome, it appears.
Louisa Adams First Spouse coins picked up nicely. New sales for the uncirculated option rose 5.3 percent and the proof increased by 3.4 percent. The most likely explanation is that the Mint will top selling them on June 4 when the the gold coins honoring Letitia Tyler are issued.

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.
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.
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.
