US Mint Sales: Silver Eagles Hit New Monthly Record

Silver Coins Today reports that January 2011 sales of Silver Eagle bullion coins shattered the all-time monthly record when they hit 4,588,000 this week.

The market news is quoted as saying:

The Silver Eagles total sat at 3,357,000 in the previous report. US Mint Authorized Purchasers bought another 1,231,000 since, breaking the old monthly November 2010 record which sits at 4,260,000. That is smaller than this month’s total by 328,000. With more than a week to go in January 2011, the distance between the old and new record should lengthen significantly more.
