US Bullion Coins & SalesGold 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.

Here is a table containing the most recent sales figures:
