US Mint Gold, Platinum and Silver Coin Sales Figures, Jan 10
The one-quarter ounce 2008-W American Eagle Gold Proof coin is at the top for the most active option.
The gold proof coin sold out on Monday, January 5. The latest Mint sales figures help explain why. Sales surged by 8,722 coins, or 144 percent. Numbers will be more finalized in the next report, but so far the total sold stands at 14,795.
Only the 1/10 ounce gold eagle now remains for 2008-dated proof coins for sale, with their total sales now standing at 11,319. They may not be around long. For part of Thursday and Friday, the Mint's online store had them listed as unavailable. (Read 2008 Eagle Gold Proof Coins Wavering Along.)
Every 2008-dated uncirculated American Eagle gold and silver coin is still available from the Mint, with the gold options showing very strong rate activity.
