U.S. Mint sold record number of silver coins in 2015

The U.S. Mint has a record amount in 2015 Silver Coins Sold. A total of 47 million rolled Silver Eagle Coins of the production line, while the old record set in 2014 stood at just under 44 million troy ounces. The record was broken by exceptionally high demand for investment coins in the second half of the year, as the chart below clearly shows.

The Silver Eagle is a very popular investment coin that has been minted since 1986 on behalf of the government by the U.S. Mint. The coin contains exactly 1 troy ounce of pure silver (99.9%) and has a design that has not changed since its introduction thirty years ago. The Silver Eagle coins are especially popular in the United States, where the coins are also considered a fiscally attractive pension investment.

More gold coins sold

In 2015, it was not only the number of silver coins sold that was higher, the U.S. mint also sold more gold. In total, the mint produced 801,500 troy ounces of Gold Eagle coins and 220,500 troy ounces to 24 carats Gold Buffalo Coins, accounting for a total of more than one million troy ounces of gold. That's the equivalent of 31.1 tons of gold!

If we compare the sales numbers of gold coins in 2015 with previous years, we see that more gold was sold between 2009 and 2011. Compared to the relatively low sales figure from 2014, sales of gold coins increased by 45.5% in 2015.

Investors started the year with a wait-and-see approach to buying gold, but due to the drop in prices in the summer, there was another stampede on the investment coins. Also at Hollandgold we saw the demand for the coins increase sharply at that time. At one point, the coins of the US Mint could no longer even be ordered from the supplier.
