2014 Official Coin Sales: Silver The Big Winner
For example, while Silver Eagle sales are down 11% compared to the same period last year, Gold Eagle sales are down a whopping 55%… five times greater than the percentage of silver eagle sales.
Silver Eagle sales up to the first week of August reached a little more than 27 million compared to 30.3 million during the same period last year. This was due to a big drop off in demand during June and July. In contrast, Gold Eagle sales declined a staggering 376,825 ounces (55%) from 683,325 oz in 2013 to 306,500 oz year to date.
