US Mint Sales: America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins Slows

US Mint Coin Sales ReportOverall, sales were down in the latest US Mint product figures. Silver Eagles and America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins fell compared to the previous week, and so did gold bullion.

Authorized Purchasers picked up another 67,000 America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins, but it was not enough to sell out. 23,000 of the five ounce coins remained. 75,000 were purchased previously. Not all of the Authorized Purchasers decided to buy the .999 fine silver coins. The remaining five ounce coins will be allocated to those who did.

The Mint has not yet announced when the five 2011 America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins will be available.

Bullion Silver Eagles advanced another 350,000 during the past week to move December's total to 1,772,000. In the prior round, the Silver Eagles surged more than one million. The slowdown might prevent December from ranking in the top half of the best selling months for 2010. In fact it is still in last place with one week left. November was the best month ever -- dating back the series launch in 1986.

Only 13,000 one ounce American Gold Bullion Eagles were bought in this period versus 38,000 before. Authorized Purchasers did order two fractional Eagles, on the other hand. 1,000 one-half ounce coins and 2,000 one-quarter ounce coins sold.

In the numismatic market, the 2010 Proof American Gold Eagles made the most news. As of Sunday, the total for the one-half ounce Gold Eagles was 10,131 but the remaining 4,869 had sold by Wednesday, December 22. The US Mint posted the sold out sign on its web site. The next product closest to a sellout is the Four-Coin Set. Its total was 31,846 so only 7,154 remained.

2010 Proof Silver Eagles gained 38,066 in their fourth week. Their tally hit 834,879 which is the fourth highest total in its series.

As for sets, the 2010 Mint Proof Set rose 18,403 versus 22,086 previously, and the 2010 Silver Proof Set climbed 9,480 compared to 11,475. Even the Uncirculated Set dropped back from 13,244 to 8,418 in this round.
