During the previous week, the Mint reported sales of an impressive 485,500 bullion coins. This is up from the 38,000 that the Mint reported last week. According to the Mint’s report, all but one bullion products offered by the Mint to Authorized Purchasers had sales registered.
The top selling bullion product for the Mint last week was the one-ounce silver American Eagle with reported sales of 425,000 coins.
