Staggering US Mint Silver Eagle Coin Sales
Peter Schiff’s latest research report, The Powerful Case for Silver (available for download here), noted the wide gap between US Mint sales of American Silver Eagle and American Gold Eagle coins. The numbers continue to amaze. In a commentary on Wealth Wire, Steve St. Angelo goes through the numbers and explains why smart investors are making big plays on physical silver. For those who cannot afford to buy gold right now, silver is a great alternative to consider.
“Ever since the big take-down in the price of the precious metals in April of this year, an interesting trend has taken place in the Gold & Silver Eagle market. While demand for both coins remained strong in the first four months of the year, investors are now overwhelming purchasing more Silver Eagles…
Silver Eagle sales are on track to surpass the total sales for 2012 within the next 2-3 weeks. I forecast that total sales for Silver Eagles by the end of August will be 33 million oz. Of course, we could see a bit more or less depending how the U.S. Mint updates its records.”
