Sales of American Gold Eagle Coins
American Gold Eagle sales in January 2018 were a solid 36,000 sold, down, however from 86,50 sold in January 2017 and down from 38,000 sold in December 2017. February and March sales of 5,000 and 2,500, respectively, uncharacteristically low compared to recent years’ monthly sales.
Given that gold sales from Germany, to Turkey to India, to Russia to China, continue to be strong in 2018, low U.S. Mint gold sales are puzzling.
Sales of American Silver Eagles were elevated from 2009 – 2016, but fell in 2017 and continue to fall in 2018.
