June 2011 American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Sales Set Record
Mike Unser
July 8, 2011
American Eagle Silver bullion coins continue to move at a record-setting sales pace. The latest United States Mint sales figures indicate that last month was the best ever June for the .999 fine silver coins. June also ranked in the top ten for all-time monthly sales.
Despite an allocation policy by the United States Mint which limits the number of Silver Eagles distributors can purchase, 3,402,000 were sold in June 2011. The level ranks as the seventh best in monthly sales for the American Eagle, marking a significant milestone given that the series was introduced a quarter of a century ago.
