2009 Silver Eagle Bullion Coins Pass 12 Million in Sales
2009 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin sales blazed passed the 12 million barrier this week and approached 1 million sold during the first eleven days in June, the latest US Mint sales figures reveal.
The Mint's authorized dealers purchased 377,000 silver eagles during the first eight days in June (ending Monday). By Wednesday the tally more than doubled to 777,000 sold. The figure then jumped to 930,000 on Thursday, bringing the year-to-date total to a record setting pace of 12,509,500.
The current selling velocity will rocket June past the 1.9 million eagles sold in May -- a month with high numbers but surprisingly ranking second from the bottom for silver bullion coin sales this year. That is how great 2009 has been for silver coins.
