US Mint Sees Record-breaking Silver Coins Sales Year-to-Date

Bloomberg reported that US Mint silver coin sales marked the strongest first half of the year since 1986.

As quoted in the market report:

Demand remains at an “unprecedented level,” and sales of gold and silver coins may reach an annual record this year, Richard Peterson, the acting director of the mint, said on June 5. Silver coin sales were suspended in January for more than a week because of a lack of inventory. In April, purchases more than doubled from a year earlier after prices tumbled into a bear market.
