The United States Mint produced fewer coins in February 2011 than in January 2011, according to published coin production figures recently released.
While it minted no Presidential dollars or Kennedy half dollars during the month, it did strike cents, nickels, dimes and quarters in the amount of 523,140,000 in total.
In contrast, coin production in January 2011 was at 764,730,000.
As the above figures reflect, the Denver and Philadelphia Mints were most busy striking Lincoln cents. Their February total of 336 million represents 64.2% of all the coins produced for the month.
Native American $1 coins were produced for a second straight month. Their monthly production is not guaranteed. The US Mint must strike enough that they account for 20% of all dollar coins minted in a year. As such, their levels are bound to how many Presidential $1 coins are produced.
The pace in February 2011 was quicker than during the same period of a year ago, but then February 2010 was also the second slowest month of the year.
The US Mint coin production figures also revealed mintages for the Andrew Johnson Presidential $1 coins and the Gettysburg National Military Park Quarters. Their totals, shown below, were the lowest in either series to date.
The Gettysburg Quarter mintages do have a chance to increase since the US Mint has a bulk purchase policy in place that enables businesses to order quarters that the Mint has stopped producing.

To many investors with a sense of history, the four most dangerous words are "this time it's different". The phrase is usually evoked in an attempt to justify why a huge price gain in a particular asset class can continue to defy common sense and historical valuation norms. A surfeit of explanations on why "this time is different" is usually enough to send seasoned investors to the exits.
Silver, having defied the low expectations of many investors, has now seen a monster rally of 392% from $8.88 in October 2008 to the recent market price of $43.67. The pace of the advance has gone almost vertical with silver gaining 60% from the lows of late January.
Long term silver investors no doubt remember the aftermath of the last rapid run up in silver prices to $48.70 in January 1980. Silver prices collapsed shortly thereafter and ultimately slid to the $5 range where it remained throughout the 1990's. Silver dropped off the radar for most investors and remained dead money for 25 years before decisively breaking out of a very long base in early 2006.
Will history repeat with another meltdown in silver prices at some near point in the future, or is the rise in silver prices indicative of a major trend change in our economic future? I have never believed that the mechanical application of past price trends was a useful tool for predicting the future. Each point is history is unique with new players and new sets of circumstances. Understanding today's fundamentals are far more important than ascribing importance to past events that are largely irrelevant.
To understand why silver prices are in the initial stages of a long term super cycle advance rather than a replay of the 1980's, it is necessary to review the differences of the late 1970's compared to our current situation. Gold and silver both advanced in the 1970's as a booming, demand driven economy fueled inflation. The huge cost of financing the Vietnam War, low employment and surging wages all contributed to a steadily rising rate of inflation which peaked at 13.5% in 1981. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker finally stopped inflation dead in its tracks through a series of massive interest rate increases which brought the prime rate to a high of 21.5% in mid 1981. High interest rates caused a severe recession but by 1983, the rate of inflation had collapsed to 3.2%.
Both gold and silver moved dramatically higher during the inflation surge of the late 1970's and early 1980's but the meteoric rise in silver prices was driven by specific events. Wealthy brothers Nelson and William Hunt acquired a massive position in silver in an attempt to corner the market. Prices skyrocketed on the news and silver went from $11 per ounce in late 1979 to $48.70 in early 1980. Regulators did not take kindly to market manipulation and margin requirements on commodities were dramatically raised. The Hunt brothers' ill conceived attempt to drive silver prices higher collapsed along with their net worth. Silver prices plunged to less than $11 per ounce within two months. The last great silver "bull market" lasted less than six months, driven not by fundamental demand but rather by heavily leveraged speculators.
Fast forward 30 years - the finances of governments worldwide have reached the tipping point under ballooning debt levels and massive deficits. Additional borrowing by insolvent nations to rollover debt simply delays the day of reckoning - more debt is not the solution for too much debt.
The message from the gold and silver markets is clear - governments have reached the limits on borrowing and the day of debt Armageddon is approaching. The accelerating exodus from paper assets to historical stores of value is only in its initial stages as desperate governments take desperate measures to stay afloat (see Smart Money Sees The Perfect Storm for Gold and Silver).
The great debt bubble of the United States and much of the rest of the world is reaching its end game as creditors realize that a stealth default of some type is inevitable via a combination of inflation, money printing, currency debasement and/or negative interest rates. Nor is it likely that S&P's lowered outlook on U.S. government debt to negative from stable will have any affect on reining in ballooning U.S. debt (see Why There Is No Upside Limit To Gold and Silver Prices).
From a long term perspective, perhaps this time is not different but simply a replay of the history of currencies backed only by the "full faith and credit" of governments. Voltaire had this to say regarding fiat money - "Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - zero".

Two numismatic products hit the charts. 2011 Native American $ 1 Coin Two-Roll Sets and Andrew Johnson Presidential $1 Coin Covers debuted in the latest United States Mint sales figures. Meanwhile, remaining sales were mixed and bullion Silver Eagles continued to shine.
The US Mint made the 2011 Native American $ 1 Coin Two-Roll Sets available on Monday, March 28, and by Sunday, April 3 a combined total of 19,056 sets sold. Broken out, 9,655 were the 25-coin roll sets from Philadelphia and the remaining 9,401 were sets from Denver.
Collectors took in 15,459 of the Andrew Johnson Presidential $1 Coin Covers that opened on Thursday, March 31. The US Mint maximum production limit for the covers is 22,000 units, so 6,541 remain.
The only new item that was not reported was the 2011 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set that started on Friday, April 1, 2011. Their opening numbers will most likely appear in the next round.
The 2011 Silver Proof Set is still selling well and jumped by 14,839 in this week's figures. Previously, they grew by 19,640. The 2011 Proof Set trailed with 13,103. In the last round, the proof sets gained 13,829.

As for American Eagles, the one ounce silver version advanced another 658,500 during the week while the one ounce gold version rose by 31,500. Silver Eagles eased into the 13 million bracket with 13,087,500 for their 2011 total, and the one ounce Gold Eagles were just a little shy of 300K with their 295,000 total.

Three new 2011 America the Beautiful Quarter products appeared in the latest US Mint sales figures. They were the Glacier National Park Quarters Bags and Two-Rolls Sets. The 2011 Silver Quarters Proof Set's opening numbers, however, have yet to be announced.
The US Mint launched bags and rolls of Glacier National Park Quarters on Monday, April 4, and by Sunday, April 10 collectors picked up 19,927 of the two-roll sets, 2,697 of the Philadelphia stamped 100-coin bag, and 2,655 of the Denver 100-coin bag.
As a comparison, the 2011 Gettysburg National Military Park Quarter products opened a little stronger. Their bags and rolls launched on Thursday, January 27, and by Sunday, January 30 the Mint had sold 20,871 of the two-roll sets, 3,275 of the Philadelphia 100-coin bag, and 3,230 of the Denver 100-coin bag.
As for the 2011 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set that debuted more than a week ago on Friday, April 1, 2011, the US Mint has not yet released their sales figures. Judging by the way other sets' sales increased, the newest silver quarters set looks to be having a positive impact.
The 2011 Mint Set climbed the most with 17,621. Previously, it had grown by 3,092. Another strong performer was the 2011 Proof Set. It added 14,543 to its total, which was up from 13,103 in the last round. The 2011 Silver Proof Set was not far behind with 13,998 in this report.
Only the Silver Eagles outperformed their prior gains among available bullion coins. Their total reached 13,803,000 after adding 715,500 since Wednesday, April 6. They advanced by 658,500 in the prior round. Gains for the other coins were soft in comparison. One ounce Gold Eagles rose 11,500 following a 31,500 increase last time. The one-tenth ounce Gold Eagles and the one ounce gold American Buffalos matched their prior additions with 5,000 and 3,000 respectively.

B. B. Craig, United States Mint Associate Director of Sales and Marketing, and leaders of the Wampanoag Tribe introduced the 2011 Native American $1 Coin today during a ceremony at the Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts.
2011 Native American $1 Coin was introduced by the United States Mint at the Bicultural Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts. : The obverse design, by Glenda Goodacre, remains the central figure of Sacagawea first produced in 2000. The reverse design, by Richard Masters, features hands of the Supreme Sachem Ousamequin Massasoit and Governor John Carver, symbolically offering the ceremonial peace pipe after the initiation of the first formal written peace alliance between the Wampanoag tribe and the European settlers. "The 2011 Native American $1 Coin celebrates the Wampanoag Treaty of 1621 that later led the English colonists and Massosoit and his men to join in a first harvest feast," said Craig.
Other speakers at the event included Cheryl Andrews-Maltais, chairwoman of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head; Cedric Cromwell, chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe; and Jim Adams, senior historian of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
Those who attended the ceremony were among the first in the Nation to get the 2011 Native American $1 Coin. Adults exchanged their cash for the 2011 Native American $1 Coin following the event, while those 18 years old and younger received a newly minted coin to commemorate the event.
The United States Mint began minting and issuing the Native American $1 Coin in 2009, as required by Public Law 110-82, the "Native American $1 Coin Act." Each $1 coin issued in the program will feature a design celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States.
The reverse (tails side) of the 2011 coin depicts hands of the Supreme Sachem Ousamequin Massasoit and Governor John Carver symbolically offering the ceremonial peace pipe after the initiation of the first formal written peace alliance between the Wampanoag tribe and European settlers. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $1 and WAMPANOAG TREATY 1621.
The reverse was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Richard Masters and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna. The coin's obverse (heads side) design continues to feature the familiar "Sacagawea" design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. Inscriptions are LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Like the Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins are minted in the distinctive golden color with the year, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM edge-incused.
The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum bullion coins.

The pace of US Mint bullion coin sales slowed in February 2011 against January, but authorized dealers ordered more Silver Eagles and more Gold Eagles when compared to the same time last year.
As is always the case, American Silver Eagle bullion coins claimed the lead. Coming off a January when more of the coins were sold during a month than ever before at 6.422 million, February 2011 Silver Eagle coin sales registered a total of 3.24 million.
That was enough to easily make it the best ever February for the .999 fine silver series that was first introduced in 1986. The second top February is now from 2009 when the US Mint sold 2.125 million of the coins.
Last month versus all other past months also compared well, ranking as the seventh best of all-time. Year-to-date sales for the Silver Eagle bullion coin stands at 9,662,00, which is the best two-month start for the series.
Sales of American Gold Eagle bullion coins finished at 92,500 ounces last month, which was down from the 133,500 ounces the US Mint sold during the previous month. However, the sales pace handily eclipsed the 84,000 ounces sold during the same time last year. Compared against prior February's, last month ranked fourth overall.
The fractional one-tenth ounce, one-half ounce and one-quarter ounce Gold Eagles broke out during the month, posting their best numbers since the 2010's were issued in June. From smallest to largest, the total ounces sold were 6,000, 4,000 and 10,000. Gold Eagle year-to-date sales are at 232,000 ounces.
For reference, last month and year-to-date bullion coin sales figures follow:
America the Beautiful Silver 5 ozThe numbers above for the gold coins are in ounces, not the number of coins sold.
As the table indicates, the US Mint is yet to offer the 2011-dated Gold Buffalo and five-ounce 2011 America the Beautiful Silver Coins.
The five ouncers are three inches in diameter, include five ounces of .999 fine silver, and share the same designs as the circulating America the Beautiful Quarters®. This year's America the Beautiful Silver Coins honor Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, Glacier National Park in Montana, Olympic National Park in Washington, Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi, and Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Oklahoma.
