In fairness to the Mint though, if you don’t report a problem, you don’t have a problem. Right? You don’t have to account for a problem if you deny it exists.

I’m always keen to step on the scales, when I’ve been eating properly for a week or two. As soon as I slip up a little, I’ll find a reason to avoid them. I’d love to know how the recent final year platinum coin has sold. I suspect the Mint isn’t too keen to step on the scales…

Those bullion version coin sales figures used to be published on the Mint’s website every day Monday through Friday, until recently. Once a month is not good enough for investors…

In reply to Seth Riesling. As I've stated several times, I would like to see sales numbers. BUT! Not sure such reports would be any good. They just do not know what they sell/sold i.e. silver eagles found, Madison Spouses destroyed/at landfill/ or? Also,early releases by them!?

It is not official policy yet, but a battle has been brewing between the Mint Director & Congress’ oversight Banking Committee members & staff over this “public information” sales figures transparency debate. The U.S. Mint is trying to act like a private corporation, when it is officially just another bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the U.S. Mint used to be officially called the “Bureau of the Mint” for those of you old enough to remember ordering by mail up until sometime in the 80s & then Congress changed the name to “United States Mint”. Stay tuned for the outcome of this behind-the-scenes debate/battle!

Happy coin collecting & investing everyone!

In reply to Seth Riesling. Seth, was it officially announced that the mint will no longer publish weekly (or yearly?) sales figures?? Thanks.
