For the American Eagle silver bullion coin, 680,000 of the coins were sold for the week. That puts the total sales of the silver coin at 7.576 million for 2021. Sales of this coin are already 2.2 million coins higher than the total sales for February 2020 with another week in the month remaining.
The American Eagle gold one ounce bullion coin also enjoyed strong sales this week with another 17,000 coins sold. That puts its total sales for the year at 309,500, nearly 50% of the entire year of sales in 2020. The Mint did not report any fractional American Eagle gold coins sold in the past week.
Rounding out the bullion sales report is the American Buffalo gold coin. 4,500 of these were sold to Authorized Purchasers last week. That puts its total sales for 2021 at 77,500.
