Last year high demand for precious metals helped push US Mint bullion coins sales to new heights and had some unfortunate implications for coin collectors. With the year behind us, I wanted to take a brief look at the annual sales totals for the Mint's bullion coins as well as recap the periods of availability.

During 2009, the US Mint sold 1,425,000 ounces of gold through the American Gold Eagle offerings. This consisted of 1,315,500 one ounce coins, 110,000 one-half ounce coins, 110,000 one-quarter ounce coins, and 270,000 one-tenth ounce coins. The one ounce coins were available throughout the year, interrupted by a suspension from November 25 to December 14. The Mint's allocation program was in effect from January 1 to June 15, and then from December 15 to year end. The fractional weight coins were available in two batches on December 3 and 14.

The Mint sold 28,766,500 one ounce Silver Eagle bullion coins during 2009. This represents a new all time record for annual sales, surpassing last year's record of 19,583,500 coins. The silver bullion coins were available throughout the year except for a suspension from November 24 to December 6. The coins were available under allocation from January 1 to June 15 and then from December 7 to year end.

For the remaining bullion coin offerings, the US Mint sold 200,000 of the 24 karat one ounce Gold Buffalo bullion coins. These were first on sale October 15, 2009 and sold out by December 4, 2009. The US Mint did not offer any Platinum Eagle bullion coins for 2009, although the proof version was produced for collectors.

To put this year's numbers in perspective, the table below shows the total annual sales for each bullion coin offering in ounces. Note that these are annual sales figures, which differ from mintage figures, since the US Mint may sell coins carrying dates other than the year of sale.

U.S. Silver Eagles Sales Soar in 2009 to Record 28.7 Million Oz

Heavy demand for precious metals bullion coins helped push annual sales for the United States Mint's American Silver Eagle bullion coin to a new annual record. During 2009, the US Mint recorded sales of 28,766,500 of the one ounce silver bullion coins.

The American Silver Eagle was introduced in 1986 to provide a convenient and cost effective method for investors to add physical precious metals to their investment portfolios. The Congressionally approved American Eagle Bullion program also includes the American Gold Eagle, introduced in 1986, and American Platinum Eagle, which was introduced in 1997.

Until recently, sales of the silver bullion coins had ranged from a low of about 3.5 million to a high of about 10 million. In 2008, demand for precious metals exploded, bringing sales totals to a new high of 19,583,500. This record only stood for one year, before being surpassed by the annual sales total for 2009.


Annual Sales for the US Mint's American Silver Eagle
The increased demand for the bullion coins has not been without consequences. The United States Mint typically produces collectible proof and uncirculated versions of the American Silver Eagle. With the increased demand for the bullion version of the coin, the production of the 2009 collectible coins was delayed and eventually canceled. This represented the first year that a collectible version of the American Silver Eagle has not been produced. The legal requirement for the US Mint to produce bullion coins in quantities sufficient to meet public demand was cited as the reason for the cancellation.

Throughout 2009, the availability of the Silver Eagle bullion coins was impacted by the high level of investor demand. From January 1 to June 15, the coins were subject to an allocation program that limited the number of coins that authorized purchasers could acquire. Sales of the bullion coins were suspended completely from November 24 to December 6. The allocation program went back into effect from December 7 to the end of the year.

The 2010-dated coins will be available for authorized purchasers to order starting on January 19, 2010. Until this date, 2009-dated coins will continue to be sold as long as inventory remains.

U.S. Mint Suspends Sale of Gold and Silver Eagles

Get ready for the explosion of Gold and Silver prices this summer. The U.S. mint can no longer keep up with the demand for the physical Gold and Silver. 90% of Gold and Silver is traded in the form of EFT paper transactions. With the growing depression, they demand for the actual metal has skyrocketed. Now, the Gold and Silver stocks are diminishing as people begin to hoard with the acceleration collapse of the dollar and other fiat currencies worldwide. Citibank is cashing in government bailout theft dollars with Gold.

The United States Mint has officially announced the suspension of another slate of gold and silver products. The affected products are 2009 dated American Gold and Silver Eagle coins produced for collectors. These coins are considered collectible versions of the bullion coins.

Although these are collectible coins, they represent a sizable amount of precious metals sales and represent a method of gold and silver investment for many individuals. Last year, the US Mint sold 1,157,911 ounces of silver in the form of Silver Eagle coins minted for collectors. They also sold 155,740 ounces of gold in the form of Gold Eagle and Gold Buffalo coins minted for collectors.

The following message was posted on the US Mint's website in the space where the collectible Gold Eagle coins typically appear. The proof coins has been offered uninterrupted since 1986. The uncirculated version has been offered since 2006.

Production of United States Mint American Eagle Gold Proof and Uncirculated Coins has been temporarily suspended because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins. Currently, all available 22-karat gold blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin Program, as the United States Mint is required by Public Law 99-185 to produce these coins “in quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .”

The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Gold Proof and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of gold bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three American Eagle Gold Coin products. Additionally, as a result of the recent numismatic product portfolio analysis, fractional sizes of American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coins will no longer be produced.

A similar message is posted in the section where collectible American Silver Eagle coins would typically appear. The proof coins have also been offered uninterrupted since 1986 and the uncirculated coins since 2006.

Production of United States Mint American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coins has been temporarily suspended because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. Currently, all available silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Program, as the United States Mint is required by Public Law 99-61 to produce these coins “in quantities sufficient to meet public demand . . . .”

The United States Mint will resume the American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated Coin Programs once sufficient inventories of silver bullion blanks can be acquired to meet market demand for all three American Eagle Silver Coin products.

This adds to the lengthy list of 2009 dated precious metals products that have been "temporarily delayed" or suspended by the US Mint. In my previous post Actions of the US Mint Discourage Gold Ownership, I mentioned the delayed release of 2009 Gold Eagle fractional coins, 2009 Gold Buffalo coins, and all 2009 Platinum Eagle coins. The delay, which was first announced in November 2008, continues with no further explanation provided.

For those keeping track, here is a list of the US Mint's 2009 precious metals products that have been "temporarily delayed" or suspended:

* 2009 American Gold Eagle 1/2 oz. (bullion)

In addition, the following precious metals related products were discontinued by the US Mint for 2009. These discontinuations were announced in November 2008. Amidst the environment of unprecedented demand for precious metals, the US Mint determined that these products were "unpopular."

* Uncirculated American Gold Eagle 1/2 oz. (collector)
* Uncirculated American Gold Eagle 1/4 oz. (collector)
* Uncirculated American Gold Eagle 1/10 oz. (collector)
* Unriculated American Gold Eagle 4 Coin Set (collector)
* Uncirculated American Gold Buffalo 1 oz. (collector)
* Uncirculated American Gold Buffalo 1/2 oz. (collector)
* Uncirculated American Gold Buffalo 1/4 oz. (collector)

* Proof American Platinum Eagle 1/2 oz. (collector)
* Proof American Platinum Eagle 1/4 oz. (collector)
* Proof American Platinum Eagle 1/10 oz. (collector)
* Proof American Platinum Eagle 4 Coin Set (collector)

That makes a total of 38 precious metals products which have been delayed, suspended, or discontinued by the US Mint.

As it currently stands, investors or collectors looking to purchase newly minted American Eagle or American Buffalo precious metals products have only two options available. These are the 2009 1 oz. American Gold Eagle and the 2009 1 oz. American Silver Eagle. Both of these products continue to be subject to rationing.
