September 12, 2013 by Rhonda Kay · Leave a Comment
Demand jumped for investor America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins, making September an already very strong sales month for them.
Released 2013 America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins. The last 5 ounce coin for the year launches in Nov.
In collector products, renewed interest in silver commemorative coins showed up in the latest United States Mint sales stats. Their sales nearly doubled compared to the previous week. The changing levels may be due to the US Mint’s Fall Catalog marketing.
Sales of the commemoratives in silver hit 1,735 cumulatively versus 965 in the prior round. Broken out, all but one exceeded its earlier week’s sales. Leading the group was the 2013 5-Star Generals Profiles Collection with 651 new purchases after 302 were picked up previously.
It was followed by the individual 2013-P Proof 5-Star Generals Silver Dollar and the 2013 Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Proof Silver Dollar, gaining 401 and 316 respectively. In the last report, collectors took in 213 and 207 of those proof coins.
Returning to the bullion arena, US Mint Authorized Purchasers on Wednesday alone ordered 19,700 of the America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins.
