What a difference a week can make. Collectors partially awoke from a summer slumber and began to buy US coins.
Ultra High Relief $20 Gold coins surpassed 70,000, newly released 2009 Silver Proof Sets reached 271,372 in three days, American Eagle Silver bullion coins topped 15.8 million, and demand was higher for the remaining US Mint silver coins.
Aside from several straggling First Spouse Gold coins, the US Mint had a good week — at least better than the last.
